The main takeaway should be a company has one obligation to you: a job to do and money to be paid. You as an adult bring your services to fix the problem in exchange for said compensation. Personal tesponbility is everything and Im glad she was fired. Individuals like her should be fired and removed from any workplace where they act as a menace to their coworkers.

Personal attacks not being allowed, I can understand so I'll be more mindful of that.

Uncivil" is relative. Discourse is healthy and prevalent in any society / forum. So is passionate discourse. You're making a statement / "accusation" of something encompassing a plethora of variables based entirely on one limited subjective interpretation. In short, you're wrong.

Enjoyed the read overall but one line stuck out: "- I take one bite out of my cold Big Mac and eat one cold fries and throw it all out."

You have to be a special kind of asshole to throw away meat and food instead of just saying the food is cold.

Seriously. It amazes me how ignorant some people are to what the Internet actually is.

Because you're going to more or less make the same dumb decisions that the person you're criticizing made once you're in that same position dealing with a thousand different angles, people, and pressures your limited mind could not imagine before, and that's a fact.

There's criticism, and there's not knowing what you're talking about. Unless one has run an online community like Reddit before, it's more than likely that that individual is playing armchair CEO.

I've seen that line of thinking with newer devs who don't understand the right tool for the job. Unless your client specifically wants a custom solution for a custom purpose, you will spend the first week writing a CMS in Django and the next 20 recreating .1% of WP's functionality because you didn't anticipate the full list of client's needs correctly.

But then you need to manage a server and ensure that the time is running accurately. Why add such a large level of responsibility for little to no gain?

Just because you disagree with an opinion does not make it sexism. If anything it exaggerates your own self prescribed ignorance.

And for every Sheryl Sandberg there's 10 men. Being the exception != being the norm.

The cynic in me is starting to wonder if all these articles about Ethereum are nothing more than PR releases.

That goes against the intent of the parents though. If a parent wants a child to go into some other non-STEM field, I don't see how anyone has the right to go against that by brainwashing kids into doing something else.

Twitter's been around for 10 years, and Twitter is mostly a fad. I wouldn't call it alarming.

I use Firebase in lieu of running my own NodeJS server. I can use a backend PHP web server but still provide realtime capabilities to my app users by using Firebase as a pub/sub system.
