How are you delineating websites and apps, and can you elaborate what exactly your hypothesis is here?

Wat? If my laptop gets infected and the bad actor tries to access my (insert account protected with MFA here), their ability to do harm is limited by spreading things across two devices.

That's like expecting home depot to give you a free plot of land to put your shed on. Servers aren't cheap.

It's also crazy how many HN users think calling this guy a sociopath is constructive feedback.

Thank you! My point exactly. This is ugly as hell. So many brilliant developers and tech minds congregating to judge someone going through a sad time in their life based on an emotional post to some web forum.

Calm down, I know plenty of talented developers at FAANGxyz companies who are less articulate and have weaker writing skills compared to OP (at least in the post you're replying to, I do agree the original post was a bit off, but clearly it was written in some type of emotional state.. you know with his calling himself unhirable and all.)

It seems that a lot of people replying here never understood the phrase "don't just a book by its cover". So many people are opining about OPs character in definite, and it's just unpleasant to witness. Sure, the whole calling VPs directly thing is a bad idea, and definitely inappropriate, but I can understand someone feeling like they're doing the right thing to advocate for an issue they see to be impactful. I wish I could CC this to all the people postulating OPs universal lack of empathy. I agree that he could benefit from therapy, because honestly we all can benefit from therapy; but all the posts implying he needs to be medicated or psychoanalyzed are reprehensible. I see someone who is upset with where they are, so they wrote a post conveying that in a slightly conceited way, yet so many talented minds in the field of tech are coming to this post to say that he has delusions of grandeur.

He is the book, and this post along with the comments he's making are the cover. You can give advice on what's presented without insulting his character.

Holy shit, you're incredibly talented, I just checked out your website.

Get some therapy for your obsession with bitcoin though; it's unhealthy. It's like telling someone to refuse to work for a company that only does direct deposit because you love checks.

I mean, if his goal was to solicit a bunch of advice and (with the attention this post has received, perhaps even a job) from people hooked by the idea of someone being unhirable, and then motivated to correct him.. it worked pretty well.

I went ahead and signed myself up to your website. The application made me feel like I wasn't supposed to, considering I've never done any of the things it asked if I did, and am just a lowly CS student who doesn't even have a great GPA, and is about to graduate jobless... so I figured I'd take a shot. Very nice signup process. Smooth as butter.

Completely understand if you can't help me, but would love some feedback on my resume at least.

Who do you recruit for? I'm soon to be a new grad, looking for a job, and if you reject me.. you could literally berate me for things I didn't actually do and I wouldn't find it appropriate or productive to argue with you about it. Let's set up an interview, you can record my reaction to the rejection and send it to those who argue for reference on how not to be a moron.

Thank you for the try! It was an older looking website, not on a platform like medium, or any type of blog hosting site. Thanks.

Around February, I saw an article about fault vs. responsibility. Can't find it

p0sixlang — Wed, 12 Aug 2020 14:34:12 +0000

Please help...

If you know the article I'm referring to, please let me know.

It was an older looking website, not on a platform like medium, or any type of blog hosting site.

It had a bunch of scenarios and laid out who is to blame in that scenario..

It was based on the idea of having to stop blaming yourself for everything, while still taking responsibility, and not feeling guilt/shame for everything.

It was really well written, and everything I'm finding on Google is terrible. I've also looked through pretty much all the articles using the algolia search for pretty much all relevant keywords.

If you can help me with my search, I'd really appreciate it.
