Always fascinated with the “what is university for” question.
When rich kids are involved: “university is so much more than getting a job: it’s about enriching the soul/rounding you out as a human being”
When it’s a poor kid: “but will this really help them get a better job?”

Let’s talk about sexual dimorphism in humans.
This is something that comes up a lot in Jordan Peterson & incel circles. And it sets you up for terrible answers, because it fundamentally misunderstands the question.
A better question: why are human males and females so SIMILAR.

So here's the thing about Grind Culture: it works, but not for the ones doing the work. The ones doing the work burn out and are replaced. The VCs funding the grinder on the other hand make bank.

a nice thing about writing with less jargon is that if what I'm saying doesn't make sense, it's easy for readers to call me on it
if you use a lot of impenetrable jargon, people will often think the problem is with *them* instead of with your writing

I know what they're trying to do, and it's a disgrace. You can't push racism in society to win an election and then claim it was a good thing if you did manage to win via this strategy.

Utterly horrifying. 27 people have died attempting to cross the Channel. Horrifying and grimly predictable.
Until the UK provides safe travel to our territory for people seeking asylum, our shores will become as much of a graveyard as the Mediterranean. bfmtv.com/grand-littoral/mig…

Also - my main reaction to Tory MPs closing ranks to protect Owen Paterson over his financial conflicts of interest, is that numerous Tory MPs are balls-deep in similar financial conflicts of interest.

I recently passed on a job offer after 4 rounds of interviews. This company only seemed interested in grilling me on my coding ability (all 4 interviews were technical, live coding sessions) and never asked about the hundred other things I do as part of my life as a dev.

To be fullstack doesn't mean you know every part of the modern technology landscape. It means that you've made a decision to be open to picking up the parts you need as you need them.

I've been using the #Tableau #JavaScript API a lot for work recently. To make the setup easier @axwdev introduced me to #Alpine.js. We want to share with you why we think the two make a great match naledi.co.uk/blog/javascript…

Another exciting week developing Tent. ⛺️
We've added a discussions feature, to allow charities to easily promote conversation and collaboration between the people they work with.
Lots more to do but we are happy with initial results. Find out more: tent.software/

THREAD: The UK is not the only place seeing a recent sharp rise in Covid cases.
Difference is *just like last time* our government had advance warning by looking at other countries. And not only did they do nothing to stop the rise, they actively encouraged it. 1/10
