Anecdote: In BS school, we had 48 hours to write a "C-with-some-kind-of-objects". My code ended up being 75% macros and we got bonus points for abusing the preprocessor.

Throwing that much salt will be useful for my journey on the S.S. Reinventing The Wheel, thanks!
I don't mind a nice vigilante "malware" that disables out-of-date daemons, but I mind if suddenly it added an opening for something else.
However, more than 25% of the Japanese I met were using Powerbanks too. Look around you at a smoking area, in the subway,... and those numbers may confirm themselves.
She is one meter to my right, unless I tell her "Sorry I'm trying to think of something give me five minutes", I want her and ANYONE who joins my team to ask me any and all questions, otherwise A) I've done a bad job showing my team they can communicate properly with me B) I've done a bad job managing them because I am slowing them down.
I hate being interrupted, we all do, even working as a cashier in McDonalds. But the idea that a special branch of people SHAN'T be interrupted is snowflake treatment.
I already feel privileged over other employees in my company for having flexible workhours (felt sick yesterday evening, sent a text at 1am and got at work around 2pm today despite a production deployment being scheduled for 5pm), now if suddenly MY time is more important than anyone else's, I'm not an engineer, I'm a snowflake in an ivory tower.
It was quite surprising to discover I was working at GitHub and we were hiring for five positions.
If you can see why wordpress is terrible, you don't need it and can easily whip out your own replacement.
If you can't see why it's terrible, then it's the perfect product for you.
Took us an afternoon trying to find out their origin and make sure they weren't malicious but in the end they were just eating watts.
Shameless self-insert: https://github.com/joshleaves/node-qrand
GET /resources, POST /resources, GET /resources/id, PUT /resources/id, DELETE /resources/id
Five routes for one resource type. If you need more resources, you nest your URIs. Why would you need POST /deleteResource?idRes=id when you can just DELETE /resources/id?
Code reuse wins.
4chan's /b/ is seen as "the cesspool" and nobody tries to make it better because nobody wants it to be better. It just needs to be that place where the EMT that spent his day dealing with life and death can relieve his stress and let go of what's plaguing his mind with "lol, tits or gtfo"[1].
Because in the end, it's all a big joke.
1: Can't find back the exact screenshot were a /b/ user was saying this, sorry.
And seriously, every single new law is pushing somebody's agenda. The author could've chosen the "animals are human being" change and we'd have another you yelling not being fond of developers pushing their love for animals.
We thought "Hey, it runs on everything!" would be nice for our future roadmap...but didn't we say the same about Java?
We've already got mobs in our streets fighting for X and Y (I won't go politically into whether the reasons are right or wrong), except governments (mostly) don't care about bad PR from a mob. The real issue is that for any single thing, Twitter mobs can rally and ask for the firing of anybody.
Look at our most recents "mobs": DongleGate, libUvGate,... The common denominator is that all people participating in these lack any empathy to see human beings as anything else than a commodity and don't care about any kind of consequences while companies just fire people because "we have to issue some kind of punishments".
Sure, there have to be consequences for "bad behavior" or anything that hurts the company's public image, but is firing at the first offense really the only way to punish a bad employee?
Well, good job tech scene! We've disrupted the scene and built Witch-Hunt-As-A-Service. Free of charge!
