Anything coming out of a boomer’s mouth about work ethic is hilarious

Just enjoy being the most privileged and worthless generation this country has ever had. There’s a reason the new generations resent you

Good, non compliance. Apply the same principles to vaccination status and medical privacy.

I'll never not hate purely procedurally generated art and art projects.

Funny, I was a life long thinkpad user until white pressure spots appeared all over my year old laptop's screen.

This is interesting to me. I have more than a peripheral interest in art and design, but my day job is heavy systems programming using Go/Scala and the like. I think there is a huge market advantage to correctly branding stuff developers use. For me this is, excuse the hyperbole, almost objectively a terrible rebranding of Go. The Gopher, while not currently wholely representative of what Go has become...is iconic and a lovely homage to the playfulness and irreverency of hacker culture. What an opportunity to update and infuse the brand with how the language has developed. I love what other people are doing with the gopher (like the the dep packager).

On top of this, I can't get over the fact that the design team can't draw. What? How much are you guys getting paid?

Or maybe you shouldn't have designers that clearly can't draw.

There's a long history of slightly or outright irreverent logos in the hacker community and you're on a forum that at the very least pays homage to that culture.

As others have pointed out, Hexley.

I recently used the Infatuation, hopefully they can get a better breadth of reviewers and hopefully calibrate to your tastes i.e. pick a few restaurants that are 10 and calibrate to a reviewer from there.

For instance, the Slanted Door review by Max Child...mentions nothing of the history of the place and the head chef Charles Phan, instead commenting on "back in 1995, upscale Asian food in a shiny setting was a new and exciting concept, and these guys jumped on the opportunity" which is borderline offensive. Nor did it mention the fast-food side restaurant with great options. And the juvenile writing style was very off-putting. Disclaimer: I'm Viet and grew up near Little Saigon.

At least in SF I tried and uninstalled The Infatuation because it was dominated by this single reviewer that I disliked. Reviewer calibration would be absolutely killer if they could make it work.

What a joke, but I'm completely unsurprised. Prep for the SAT, prep for jobs, prep on the job - minus the whizkids, Stanford grads make great corporate drones.
