Yup, love the product and software -- hate the service. I cannot vouch for the lack of evil. :(

No, that's an opinion, just as religion is. Please do give up.

Omg yes alpine Linux is amazing

YES. Functional programming is more of a pattern. I can write functional ruby/es6, but neither of those are purely functional languages.

I can sympathize, as this recently provoked myself to take a vacation for my mental health to recover. I went to an island with horrible internet and phone service and disconnected.. this helped me restore the fragile work/life balance I require. ^

I agree. This leads to burnout and it is not a pattern for a lengthy or successful career. I had to recently take time off in order to recharge from burnout... avoid getting to that point at all costs!

Semi-true; it depends how the extra 20 hours are spent for myself. I've had weeks where I program 60 hours or more and it's all spent well, and then the next week I might be a little more burnt out.. take it a little easier and then sprint again.

Here there is no time...

Trendster vs hipster is a thing now. I think I don't keep up with the trends anymore. But yeah next step we use assembly.

Is that not being positive? With every step, I'm sure the will to quit may come, but you will never reach the summit if you quit. Therefore, if you focus on NEGATIVITY like "I'm not going to make it!" YOU NEVER WILL. If you forge on, at least you're progressing, and that is something to help motivate you to finish your mission.

Of course! :) I have to be positive for my own sake. It's in my best interest to spread this to others, especially those who may be struggling as well. Psychologically, this is a very rewarding thing to do..even when you don't feel the best, if you can make another happy, it will most likely make you happy as well. I'm glad you cared enough to respond :).

Coffee makes me more alert because it triggers a release of ATP.

I do agree it is arrogance.

Can not agree with this enough. Burnout leads to serious depression; it left me in the ER a few times. DON'T stress man. Things work out eventually.

perhaps, have a laugh?

> And because of that Microsoft will finally start succeeding on mobile.

I've heard this joke before, but go on..

Same. I had instructions from a competent developer however. I would still blame whoever allowed production access as part of application setup, as well as the fact there isn't a process to back up this production data.

"It's your first day, we don't understand security so here's the combination to the safe. Have fun!!"

I get about 27-28 days a month where I will code at least some.

But I don't want to?

Then leave FFS. Being a vegan is a choice. Just as reading the article is. Just as the article states, his work was completed voluntarily.

So they kill the bear.. then they fuck they bear. Then a pack of dogs tears the bear apart. That sound any different?

??? I'm never going to be a vegan :)

I'm glad someone can relate. I feel like how much coffee I drink is making my panic attacks worse. Cigarettes surely don't help.

Really low self esteem it seems. I'm concerned people think this.

-stops reading-

I've done it and yeah don't do it.

Nice code though :D

My only comment is the support of the HTTP methods put, patch, and delete. Most users have support in a modern browser these days.

Wow. This even got that many upvotes

SAME. No explanation; I did nothing to violate any policy, which involves clicking my own ads or suggesting to my users to do the same. A larger proportion of the revenue was the 100,000+ page views a day. They did nothing when this suspension was appealed besides the same old response, and ignored any appeal.
