Comment on: GitHub project containing technical interview question in JS - ES6/ES5. (Feel free to star, contribute, share the love!)

I dont see any privilege check. Are you making the gross misscategorization that people should be judged equally? Where is your community code of conduct? Where is your diversity statement?

This kind of thing is not OK for programmers, or people who identify as programmers.

Comment on: Does the Go programming language have any future?

zero. there was some crypto filesystem done in go. It's idea of portability is OS X (BSD), BSD, and Linux. So no Windows support worth a damn.

I know hipsters and college kids don't care about market share, but if you don't run on the biggest platform it's already kneecapped you.

Just Google github and meritocracy.
