Are they not preventing the right of individuals to organize?

> Take your crack pot anti-science rants elsewhere.

sigh. Which part is crackpot? Which part is anti-science? Can you please explain why you think that? I hope to convince you that I am not anti-science in the least. Rather, I think we are looking at this situation wrong.

What conspiracy?

There is no argument when the opinions being expressed are not of the hive mind it gets downvoted and flagged. You never see dissenting opinions because they're removed from the site.

I feel the community "quality" has always been pretty low and hive mindy.

9,999,999 results in .0000009 seconds.

Result 1: not even close

Result 2: that's the opposite of what I asked

Result 3: not even close

Or because they're censoring search results for one reason or another.

I suspect that user interfaces that feel like sugary garbage to us are totally fine with them. To them it's all the same.

In my experience this never ends up being worth it. If you use a template people will complain you didn't design it yourself. If you don't use a template people will complain that it doesn't look professional. Rarely will anyone actually dig into your projects and take a look at them. You'll likely spend a lot of time creating a build system that no one will ever know or care about. The whole site will basically just be used to criticize you. Most HR workers won't even look at the site. Remember all they are capable of doing is looking for keywords on a resume. Plus no matter how fantastic your site is if you say something that they don't agree with that will actually count as a negative on you.

another thing to think about is you probably don't have as much content as you think you do. Ultimately your personal site is just going to be a kind of portfolio so if you don't have a lot of personal work that you can show the site's not going to look very good.

My advice is not to build it. Don't build a website. Don't build a single page app. Don't build a simple static page. Don't do anything other than hone your resume because that's all that matters to hr drones.

So they can make technical decisions. This is one of the reasons I hate programming at companies. I didn't serve in Iraq so I could work my butt off to get a degree and then spend years working professionally while continuing to learn and do side projects to have someone who doesn't know anything tell me what to do.
