Not trying to start an argument here but you sound very far removed from individual contributors, so maybe from your point of view it would simply look like adding it to a pile. More important than adding it to a pile is to make sure there's systems in place to make sure OSs are patched. You wouldn't be complaining to the IT/sysadmin guy about your servers' vulnerability or patching schedules, you'd be talking to your cybersec department who'd have oversight. And if there's a breach and your only defense is "I added it to the IT guys pile", 100% you are getting fired as well.
They can be pretty common for certain people. I've dealt with hemorrhoids since I was 20, my dad also started getting them pretty young too. They tend to "flare up" if you eat food that irritates them. For me it's something that I deal with every few months or so. When I get them, I gotta squirt a tube of ointment up my ass and they're usually gone the next day. It's a very humbling experience. I came as a poor migrant, no college education and through will and determination I became a self taught engineer about to turn 30 who makes six figures, and I occasionally have to squirt a tube of preparation H ointment up my ass.
I'm not a developer but I write a lot of code for network infrastructure automation... when I started learning I was already a network engineer so I figured it would be a cakewalk. I think it takes a certain type of person (patience, persistence, tenacity, etc) to excel in a computer science field. I'd reckon a lot of young people think the jobs are all pretty sweet and cushy
I agree with most of what you said but it wouldn't hurt to create a watered down version of the site and put it on a subdomain like noobs.github.com .... There can be separate UIs for different kinds of users.
They could ask when you register an account what you intend to use GitHub for and what your familiarity is.
I love that Aaron Swartz is mentioned anytime Spez is mentioned. Aaron will always be a hero to me, and Spez is the antithesis of everything Aaron stood for.
Honestly, I'll never understand how Christianity has become ingrained with right wing politics. Modern day conservative churches are at odds with everything that Christ taught and stood for.
One of the more interesting things about how these games are advertised (I don't play mobile games but I suspect a lot of people that do are kids) are that it always shows someone playing the game poorly. It's supposed to make you go "huh. Well that looks easy. Wait wth is he doing? No! He could have gotten the powerup. Oh! Looks like he might get this one! What?! How do you mess that up?! I bet I could do that."
One thing that I've realized about this generation of kids and people who didn't grow up on tech but were forcibly introduced to it(millennials, gen x, boomers) is that they don't want the game to be challenging or to reward skill. They just need the game to be flashy and to pass the time. That's why these games are always made to look so easy and like the guy playing is a moron. A lot of people are attracted to games in a different way than "gamers" ... They are not attracted to the challenge or the mastery, they've attracted to the visuals and lack of difficulty.
I believe these types of games are akin to gambling. The last time I went to Dave and Busters, you wouldnt believe the amount of adults i saw playing games of chance (not skill) for tickets. Exactly like a casino.
That's really what this is all about. My company is not even pretending that RTO has anything to do with productivity or culture. They're not even providing any reasoning. Hell, all my bosses are in different time zones and I have no peers in the office.
It's because the big money has invested in expensive city real estate and if we all buy a house in Montana then it kills their milking model. I mean business model
A lot of people on the streets have no one left to help them for a reason. They've burned every bridge with loved ones. Saying this as someone who's dealt with an addict on my wife's family. Thankfully she's not in the streets right now but she has been several times. We've helped her out in so many ways just to end up getting stolen from
