>* As a hard bitten senior engineer, I can tell you that I value equity at zero. If I get an equity win, awesome! But I don't count on it. (You don't mention it, but thought I'd share that.)

So much this!! I have been a paper millionaire more times than I care to remember, but none of them have panned out.

moosterv | 5 years ago | on: GitHub to replace “master” with alternative term to avoid slavery references

My last name starts with oo, which many humans struggle to understand. It almost always becomes do, or co.

I agree. I also hate var++; on a line by itself. I'd prefer var += 1;

I started off developing in C, then C++. Then I did Java (late 90's till 2010 or so). I toyed around with PHP and perl somewhere in between. I love modern Javascript, and would be hard pressed to go back to something else.

god, please don't use autoplay videos! I open your link to read later, then I have to figure out where that damn noise is coming from.
