Implying that H1Bs are less talented than american workers. Russia and China say "hi, lol, ignore us at own peril"

Your GPU has an "M" in it. I don't have hard evidence, but my experience says it won't work.

Yep, it's true. My company started a major python2.7 project in 2015.

It depends on your point of view. The server load caused by WP is much larger than most alternatives, yes. But the development(and ops) time required to ship a WP site is much lower than any alternative I know of.

Wait, Python 3 has existed since 2008 and the transition is at 20%? How is that any form of success?

"Oh man, I can't counter this argument, because it's true. I'll just split it up into chunks that don't make sense and then disprove those."

That's literally the first thing that happens when you "Fight abuse to protect freedom of expression"

https://blog.twitter.com/2015/fighting-abuse-to-protect-free... Hopefully this will help to show Twitter's recent actions in a different light.

It's important to keep people safe. And as we all know, corporations are people.

Then... they are right?

Isn't downvoting such an opinion enough? Do we pretend that banning will pacify people that want to stir trouble?

What's the "Network effect" for private repos?

Read a book, I guess.

Well, this whole Internet thing was nice while it lasted.

Well, when you quantify your opinion like that, there's not much of an opinion left to even debate.

"Different people get an education for different reasons" is a nice statement, and I would even agree that it's true. But nothing follows from that. It's not a statement that one can draw conclusions from.

In your original statement you're saying "MBAs are useless now, but it's because of HR, and it sucks that MBAs are useless but it didn't always use to be like that". Now you're saying "no, they aren't useless, in fact they're better than engineers".

Oh, how easy it is to claim a strong point when you're unconstrained by the truth.

So you're saying that "No true MBA graduate is useless".

That's only a scary threat to people who are afraid of spending money.

It... works on zsh, too? Can you find a current distribution of linux where Z doesn't work by default?

Most ad-blockers are also tracking blockers. So, they already do.

We judge them by the way they present themselves. This is the first item on the first listed recipient of a grant. Apparently, Mozilla think that this is the most important thing.

So your argument is invalid.

That moment when you become a victim of Poe's law... Software development is stupid and crazy now.

I'm sure that if they rename a few more things that have "bro" in their title, everything will change for the better.

Aaaaany day now.

But... Python already exists? Sorry to go all old-school on you, but the quality of Python's stdlib has literally been a part of pop culture for more than half a decade: https://xkcd.com/353/

No, I've talked to Go people and they really do respond that way. Maybe my opinion is just one data point, but this entire thread seems to agree...

Wow, the corporate speak is strong with this one.

If they think it's what "the majority" wants - let them just ignore the hater devs and leave it. See how far that gets them.

They are removing it because it's a poor idea that's poorly thought out. People won't bite the PR.

You are not wrong about the "physical product and distribution" part, but the article says they paid $100K for web development alone.

To me it sounds more like "We had no skills, no experience and no worthy advice. But we DID have $100K burning a hole in our pockets".

Literally "Rule number 1" of being a startup is "Do an MVP and then test if it's worth it to do more". $100K is one hell of an MVP.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Literally the only time I have had to administer my GitLab setup in any way was when my SSL certificate was about to expire. It's really very solid, and all of the user management can be done from the web front-end.

That's exactly true. But even GH Enterprise still has insane pricing.

Hosting a git repo and a very very basic issue tracker is so not worth $2500/year. Not to mention that even this isn't a fixed price and it grows linearly with the number of employees.

GitLab provides the same service for free. Well, at the cost of "you reading the manual and installing it on a VPS", which takes between "minutes" and "a couple of days" depending on how deep you want to go. A VPS that can easily - easily - scale to the needs of 100 people is "$5/mo".

Looking cool and having brand recognition will indeed earn you money, but everything has its limits.

Yes, charging per repository is nothing short of predatory. It means that every scratch project and every prototype needs to be deleted - or paid for in perpetuity.

It's even worse for agencies and contractors, since for them changing projects often is a natural part of business.

"Although it's obviously a bad study, I am going to think its hypothesis is true."

The only reason we have science is because "common sense" is too easily fooled.

That is a bad attempt at provocation and it won't work, sorry.
