@jongalloway @distantcam encouragers? nobody is going to help you. http://t.co/Vp5kqZxi3M

@jongalloway @distantcam no. You don't need senior devs for that. Just peers who know a tiny bit more than you. That is how the world works

@jongalloway I'm looking forward to you personally mentoring every programmer on the Indian subcontinent. Wake me up when that's done. GLHF

@jongalloway and junior devs don't know how to evaluate the reputation/credibility of web pages they find, either? Also below fizzbuzz.

@jongalloway so junior devs don't know how to search the Internet for "what's the best"? That's below fizzbuzz level.

@jongalloway or if you wanted workplace advice: http://t.co/KM2EvrIg4x

@jongalloway junior devs need to be able to code, first and foremost. Or if you wanted some whiteboarding advice: http://t.co/91jLN9ZG0w

@jongalloway http://t.co/JDoig1YH0c

@skarra sure http://t.co/JDoig1YH0c

@gruber @edbott the dumbest possible thing always wins. That's the web and JavaScript.

@MRSallee we hired someone. The actual insulation bit was very fast, under floor and attic, half day

@splattne I would like a thermal imager, but still $1500

@georgeharito apparently it was in California in 1954

@jongalloway tl;dr work with as many people as possible, online and offline. Forget mythical mentors. Exposure and effort is learning.

@jongalloway I have never learned anything from "mentors". I have learned a lot from people I work with directly or indirectly.

@jongalloway how many millions of people saw that movie and had that experience?

@jongalloway why encourage 1 when you can encourage thousands?

@jpetazzo @jongalloway books are a lot smarter and more interactive than they used to be. Book as multiplayer game. Think bigger.

@jongalloway @jpetazzo so write a mentoring blog entry then. Eight hours spent with one person, versus reaching hundreds or thousands.

@jpetazzo @jongalloway anything else is a waste of effort. If we can't teach the googlers in our fizzbuzz field, we are all fucked long term

@jongalloway @jpetazzo you can work together on a project using GitHub, Discourse, and Stack Overflow. Build the tools to mentor.

@Robbie this is an OK offer but I feel you could do more, I am not sure you are giving 110% here

@jpetazzo @jongalloway I build software to do that, like any good engineer. Stack Overflow. Discourse.

@drylight I find it amusing that you don't realize 100 people have had that argument, with citations, on the Wikipedia entry already

@drylight fascinating, but wikipedia disagrees.. look it up!

@ftrain LOLWORMS

@gknauss I don't know if I believe that. I think people would want to check it out for themselves. Maybe "free" (in-app purchases) vs pay?

@gknauss holy crap, that much publicity and under a thousand copies sold? that is some bullshit

@mzarra @ataraxia_status see http://t.co/Ab0OdFVc8r

@ironicsans say it like gift without the t, simple enough

@pmarca I like your links a lot, but short stories are preferable to novellas here

@gknauss shhhhhh the verified people are speaking shush now

@pmarca at this point I want to kickstarter a program that teaches pmarca how to use Twitter properly

@johnolilly a phablet in every pot!

@bc3tech @donniefitz2 @hostgator @discourse doubtful, "quick install" for most hosts is the server herpes, e.g. php/mysql.

@doktor_che hello!

@mathowie we only directly promote them for non-profits and educational orgs, but yes, have seen good results at Digital Ocean!

@waxpancake pretty good horseshit

@joeshaw WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD

@jzy @betsyphd *CLICK*

@ebryn @wycats awesome, I hope this fixes the Android performance problems, e.g. https://t.co/sly0B5ySZK

@textfiles @mathowie this is bullshit I already paid $5 to join metafilter

@anildash protesting that you don't want to be one doesn't ring true to me, for anyone. Look what Gates does with billions.

@ftrain penciled in for 6pm: pack children wife and family into car, drive into lake.

@anildash you see, dookie was the smart one, using the computer. Prolly bloggin'.

@mattcutts loving the munchery at our house! Keep the investment/recommendations coming!

@JoeyGolaw @netflix ICUH8N

@jzy does in Windows -- auto-resizes column to fit when you double-click the border.

@jzy I meant double clicking on the resizing border not the top of the column?

@jzy does double clicking them work

@waxpancake I fear my children. Always hold baby with blast radius facing AWAY from body.

@deanputney because sardines.. are super gross.

@deanputney FLSMDFR! You can't run away from your own shoes.

@scottwasson I will skip this whole page and go to the end anyway. HAVE FUN BUDDY

@PatHelland wait that is EVIL @damienkatz just look at this proof http://t.co/XryaeSIxz9

@badbanana others have proposed showing article read time next to the comment, under your name

@evil_trout except for Candy Crush!! http://t.co/wEC3pjRvdY

@siracusa yes @samsaffron has explicitly mentioned this, I think that is a tad more inward facing e.g. "my problem" but also valid

@skrug we're still working through feedback we got a year ago! There's a clear pattern of things people complain the most about, though.

@avi4now yes, we do -- have since summer 2012

@joeherbers arguably the single best 80s song in my book

@pmarca I want to believe! So excited Abrash and Carmack have something worthy of their prodigious talents to work on.

@pmarca maybe. Not convinced people are enthused about paying for things in thousands and millionths of cents. Micropayments from hell.

@deanputney I think Cloudy is better than about half the Pixar movies I've seen. I'm just saying.

@doubleyewdee wow, that's funny, now bing puts it *first* for me. It wasn't even on the page when I ran the test an hour ago. Shrug.

@doubleyewdee https://t.co/1CZuc2ggxX vs http://t.co/MTfY9G94uO

@doubleyewdee http://t.co/8VHObiTvFj vs https://t.co/nuuOJJiW3M

@robertmclaws should I fax each page over?

@edbott @waltritscher you can see it live at http://t.co/cTcrasTSlC and soon Coding Horror will have a similar arrangement.

@edbott @waltritscher depends, if you want an actual community, versus allow people to comment on entries.

@textfiles I mean it is no Discourse

@textfiles @discourse this is the question that plagues men's souls

@jordangray I love you too! (sniff)

@Supermathie damn it, now I have to pay that invoice

@neill @amyhoy now deployed, self delete account with posts <= 1 https://t.co/a7V4y27ttL

@cyplo yeah that too, sort of, and everything runs in the browser anyway. Or on phone.

@evil_trout it's not even funny!

@owlpelletz see this movie http://t.co/eQDJxaK4qp

@LeMadChef you should be

@ftrain seven year old love, old love, expired love, aka "back when we used to love each other"

@JeffChausse yeah @siracusa warned me about that one! He was, as always, correct!

@mikey_p @blairwadman we do not support that kind of harrassment of PHP developers. No, we require it.

@ChaseFlorell I urge you to consider the safety of people outside your family, too. We all live in the same world.

@nicksahler try the Docker install! https://t.co/R91IbQQpBU

@ChaseFlorell http://t.co/5flALUgQCn

@ChaseFlorell not getting vaccinated puts children and old people at risk. If you do this, you must go live somewhere far away from people.

@pmarca @cdixon this is literally worse than the <blink> tag

@seesharp @michelebusta BUUUUSTAMAAAAAAAANTEEEEEE

@averyj I know what are the odds! Good to see you man!

@cityofelcerrito Phil the barber on Fairmount by Fatapples!

@textfiles oh yeah Adblock fucks up all kinds of stuff if you actually work on websites for a living, stopped running in my Stack days

@_Nition well, right, that's the whole point isn't it?

@timbray shall I trot out the democracy quote again?

@timbray I wouldn't say "these parts are not very good" any more than I'd say "C++ is not very good" because people use lots of libraries

@willemvds just look on http://t.co/VEURQ7w7as in the server tag

@seesharp this is why we use docker https://t.co/R91IbQQpBU

@gknauss yeah coaching the coaches is tough

@gknauss so what do you do? Coach the coach? Pull your kid out of the league? Switch teams?

@marcoarment server herpes!

@phortuin this is prolly controversial but I do think humans are the ultimate pets. It's not all that different in the beginning, either..
