I don't think these match up very well. While Gibson's most iconic guitar is the LP and Fender's is the Strat, they still make a bunch of different guitars that are NOT expensive, but play great. This is moreso true of Fender, who makes amazing guitars in the $500-750 range. They also don't come with any particular image associated with them. Strats have been used for all sorts of music, from Iron Maiden to John Mayer.

Gibson feels a bit more stuck to an image, but it doesn't feel old and crusty the way Harley does.

I bought my first bike here earlier this year aged 35. I took the MSF course at a Harley dealer and talked a bit about what bike might fit me best for riding as a casual/weekend rider (up to maybe 5k miles per year if I ride a lot). No one really recommended a Harley. I got a couple Indian recs, but mostly it was Yamaha and Honda. I ended up with a 2017 Honda Shadow Phantom after sitting on it for a while in the show room of the Honda dealer and I'm quite happy with it.

Harley absolutely feels like a fashion thing to me. I know a few folks who really like them, but it doesn't seem to be based on anything other than "they're Harleys, man." I don't think the Harley brand is going to die off, but it does feel a bit pigeonholed right now as the rough and tumble, leather & dome helmets type of rider right now. Honda doesn't feel like any particular type of bike. I don't feel like I should be wearing anything in particular on it, and I haven't had anyone look at me oddly for riding a matte black cruiser with a high-vis helmet yet. I feel like I would've if I were on a Harley.

I can't speak for all Western countries, but I live in an extremely humid area with high pollen from around March until November. High humidity means your clothes take forever to dry and they're going to be covered in insects. High pollen means your clothes are going to be death-coated for anyone with even mild allergies.

It's really not feasible here. Some people hang their clothes to dry inside in sun rooms, but it's not very common. It's easier to throw them in the dryer.

Mr Jumbo/PHP doesn't use an elephant logo. Is it the color you're concerned with? Mr Jumbo reminds me more of Bing Bong from Inside Out.

Foxy/Gitlab logo is _very_ close.

Moby/Docker is a stretch but I can see it a bit.

Steps/Webpack isn't that close. It looks closer to the old Windows Registry icon to me.

Fall/Endomondo seems like an obvious ripoff.

Apple I see no problem with (conceptually, at least. I wouldn't personally use something with an apple in the name/logo for obvious reasons.

Cosmos/CircleCI ehhhh, it reminds me more of the Colorado stickers I see all over, even using similar colors.

Watchbob/Datadog in no way are close aside from having dogs. Datadog has a very distinct, happy puppy look to it. It looks more like some sort of Jenkins clone in dog form to me, but it's distinct enough.

Most of these are more of a stretch to me than anything, although two of them do seem to be almost clones.

I have recently been interviewing and people have been asking me very CS-specific questions that, quite frankly, never come up in my day-to-day work. Not only that, but they _haven't_ come up in the past 15 years of work. I had to really think about some of the answers because I just never do it.

The roles were for more CRUD-related gigs. I don't really get the emphasis on those CS particulars when you don't really run into them much.

Anyway, no my job is not interesting. The challenges are organizational and political rather than technical.

I do. I've only had two jobs I truly enjoyed doing the 9-5 work for, all the rest have been a slog to get through to pay for my other interests and family-related stuff.

The school district my kids are in does this. High school starts 1 hour after elementary, and the buses just run the same routes twice.

While I appreciate the value people get from TypeScript, I do not use it and would prefer if it were optional (along with babel). Looks ok otherwise.

The drills don't make sense to me. If it's a drill to protect the students against one of their own, that student has also been in the drills and knows that quiet rooms still likely have people in them.

If I remember correctly, the last school shooting had the kid shooting through a door's window into a classroom and killing people who were hiding in the corner. Obviously he knew they were in there already. The drilling he was in would've showed him that.

So what is the point of it? You are giving away any and all secrets to the potential assailant. It's nothing like a fire drill or a "mother nature" type of drill. They should really just stop doing it.

I've always liked Baltimore, but I never lived there. I used to visit every year when I lived up North, but since moving to Richmond, I haven't been up at all. I kind of miss the weird grittiness it has.

My _gaming rig_ is 5+ years old and still runs new games fine. I don't even know where you came up with this. My wife owns a 2012 Macbook Pro and it still runs everything fine, even the newest OS and MS Office applications.

But why does it matter to a general user if there are real or fake users behind twitter accounts? It makes no difference to me whether I have fake followers or not, as I'm not going to be forced to see anything they're posting (or not posting). I can just ignore them and follow who I want.

It seems like it only matters from an investment stance.

I'm not saying it's lower, but you know the risks when you use the software.
