I think about the technical feat accomplished by Blizzard when they created World Of Warcraft. So much time, effort, money, and great minds working so that you could walk around in a virtual world with your friends.

"One of the things that blows students’ minds is to realize that women disproportionately, about twice as much, suffer from all anxiety and depression disorders relative to men, and almost all our models for studying anxiety disorders are based on male animals."

This right here is one of the concrete reasons for why we NEED to recognize neurological sex differences, and have studies that focus specifically on genders. We could discover loads about treatment differences by gender, and really help a lot of people who are suffering from depression (something that is becoming more prevalent by the day).

It feels good, and is a good motivator, when your code is received positively. Especially early on when you aren't necessarily confident that you are a "coder" yet. I think that is a great nugget of truth for anyone working on an engineering team.

That said, this person graduated a coding bootcamp + joined their first team less than 3 years ago. I'm not sold that they have much to teach about managing an engineering team (not that I do either).

Well said and applies to me as well. Thankfully myself, and the founding team of my company are all very aware that this is the case, and feel extremely blessed to have been born in such a fortunate position. I think in this case being self-aware is half the battle, the next half is to aid those without this luxury in concrete ways.

While that is true, the paragraph is a paraphrase of their demo day pitch.

I agree with your point, but having worked extensively with React, it really does make development easier for me. While it feels like there is always a new shiny front-end framework out there, the ones that stick out like Angular, React, Vue, etc. all have real value that developers like! So I don't really see it as a bad thing.

I highly doubt throwing this issue at the free market will result in less car traffic in the city.

A sad tale of hypocrisy and the little guy losing. It would be less upsetting if Igrit wasn't so sue happy herself

I remembered this headline from years ago. The article is from 2015, does that warrant you adding a year to the title?

We made a similar switch over a year ago and have not looked back since. The migration was tough but once the bandaid is totally off it feels good.

This is a great, hilarious story. Something about IRC makes for a really nice story telling platform. Thanks for sharing.

Well like any bank they are investing the money held with them.

How is this any different or better than current geo-hashing solutions?
