It's probably a case where the dev API key was pushed live instead of the correct key for vw.com
Me: Really? Is that really a business requirement? Any other requirements you need done?
Boss: Yes, it's your number 1 priority. No, just 1 to 100
Me: <a few minutes later> Done. Give it a review and I'll push it live.
Boss: <a few minutes later> No! I said 1 to 100 and everything divisible by 3 should be replaced by "FIZZ". Why didn't you do that?
Me: I'm pretty sure you didn't ask for that, but I'll do it right now. Any other requirements than FIZZ?
Boss: Thanks for taking care of this. There aren't any other requirements.
Me: <a few minutes later> Done. Give it a review and I'll push it live.
Boss: <a few minutes later> Seriously! Why didn't you put the BUZZ in there?
Me: What BUZZ are you talking about? You only asked for FIZZ.
Me: Wait a second, are you having me program FIZZBUZZ for you? What the heck!
Boss: Yes! Somebody on the internet asked how a non-programmer like myself would solve FIZZBUZZ!
Me: Sigh...

Shyness "is the feeling of apprehension, lack of comfort, or awkwardness experienced when a person is in proximity to, approaching, or being approached by other people, especially in new situations or with unfamiliar people"[0]
Social Intelligence "describes the exclusively human capacity to effectively navigate and negotiate complex social relationships and environments"[1]
Introversion is "the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one's own mental life".[2]
When I was younger, I was told that all of these things were the same , and I was very confused. While I felt more connected to my inner world than the outer world, I had no problem dealing with situations (such as parties, events, etc) where I met a large number of people. I wouldn't actively seek these types of encounters out, but would navigate them (often with compliments) when they came up. However, afterwords I would feel physically and mentally exhausted. Only later in life did I learn a more nuanced view about introversion/extroversion that dealt with which situations one finds more or less rewarding.
I personally find small teams, often just me, highly rewarding and engaging. Afterwards I feel mentally recharged, and can continue such encounters for very long amounts of time. Conversely, I find that large groups are very draining, and I have to take more time to recharge.
I would generally rank in the middle-lower levels in shyness. I don't actively seek out encounters with strangers, but I do not feel a high level of apprehension or awkwardness. For social IQ, I'd rate myself as average. I can talk someone's ear off, understand empathy, and social situations do not generally throw me off balance. However, for introversion I'm near the top. Given any particular situation, I would prefer to be alone or in small groups, even to point of possible negative social/group consequences (which I generally understand and accept as the cost of the trade-off).
So while I agree with you that some introverts are pigeon-holing themselves, there are people, like myself, who value their introversion and do not feel that it is a limitation.

You can see that they added a <meta name="robots" content="NOARCHIVE,NOFOLLOW"> tag. So Google will index it and show it, but it won't cache the full text. This change means that companies like 3taps can no longer get the full text from the Google cache, while still allowing search results to show in searches.
It is amusing to hear someone say "It’s kind of nice to see a site without tweet this, share this, connect to facebook, etc all over the place." when that same person has LinksAlpha, Google+, Twitter, and Facebook links above and below every post.
"Complete the AWS Direct Connect interest form indicating your choices. If you don’t already have infrastructure at your selected AWS Direct Connect location, you may optionally indicate on the form that you would like to be contacted by an AWS Direct Connect Solution Provider."
The key point here is "If you don’t already have infrastructure" and "contacted by an AWS Direct Connect Solution Provider". Now it's true that some of these companies may not want to work with someone who is only going to be hosting a server or two. In my experience, when dealing with these larger companies, you can get a referral to a reseller/affiliate if they can't (or won't) help you directly.
9600+ generally concise words on many, but not all, of the issues with PHP. As a summary, PHP isn't "out of fashion" as much as people are tired of continuously being misled and abused by their language of choice.
"Having kids is a natural born right for people. The government cannot come in and force people to stop having kids to solve the population problem." - China's One Child Policy
"Too many people in this world means there are too many hands holding on to money. "
"Overpopulation creates a mess of unhappy citizens."
"Loans are killing the value of the dollar."
"This means that people who take out loans are doing a disservice to society."
"Having kids is one of life’s greatest joys. It’s a shame to see that this joy is being abused by so many people. Having too many kids is a sheer sign of greed."
"It’s not up to the government to solve this problem, but us. We have to make better choices when it comes to having kids and taking out loans."
