A specific problem I have with this very fun (I must say) site is that gender isn't shown with nouns.

I fully agree with you, but Anki (with pronunciation) got me 12k German words in 12 months with 40 minutes daily where Goethe couldn't give me a functional understanding of German whilst travelling. Grammar and the functional language comes ter with constant translation or immersion with sites and experiences like the excellent DuoLingo.

Norway should read more Robert Anton Wilson, I'd recommend starting with 'Reality is what you can get away with'

I've been a programmer since a very young age, having both parents as teachers I never saw it as noble or a job with any ROI. Spending my first year, after 3 years of industry, I realized it's more rewarding than anything I've done before (it's been 12 years now). Everything related to development can still be done, interaction with industry and I also get to see, 2, 3, 5 years down the line how successful companies spawn from inspired students.

Besides teaching I could also recommend contributing back to open source projects and just getting active in your community.

I've been kicked from 7 South African ISPs as a top 2% or 'abuse' user, after paying for uncapped access. Things seriously need to change this side.

It seems the way to fix comments is to alienate more than half of your userbase. Vimeo here we come.

You had me at 'shockingly dreadful'. I spent the last three months in this environment and can finally say that for the next part of my exercise, I will surely switch to Python's Panda.

You could learn puppet or something similar for configuration management on multiple nodes.
