ieRei6aeon Kickstarter employees vote to unionize

You need to define meritocracy.

There's plenty of excellent software engineers paid pennies to work on difficult problems because they live in countries with very low wages.

And plenty of people in silicon valley being wildly overpaid to copy paste javascript from stack overflow.

Not at all.

Please spare the alt-right dog whistle.

ieRei6aeon Kickstarter employees vote to unionize

Plenty of companies provide mostly unhealthy snacks.

Also, encouraging workers not to spend time out of the building is not so healthy, physically and mentally.

ieRei6aeon Linux Namespaces and Go Don't Mix

> the problem with languages like Nim is lack of support and maturity

It was the same for Linux, Python, Ruby. Being community-driven can be a bug or a feature.
