  • Some episodes are legendarily funny, but a lot are very forgettable. It’s more of a cultural bellwether.

    Seinfeld was one of those shows that talked about certain issues that weren’t broached on network tv. I think the masturbation episode was the first time it was even alluded to on any mainstream tv.

    But at the end of the day it’s a sitcom with laugh tracks, so it doesn’t age super well.




  • A full stack developer is either a back end developer that has no business writing front end code but does it anyway, or they’re a front end developer that has no business writing back end code but does it anyway.

    Or they’re perfectly capable of doing both because they’re at a startup that’s years away from running at scale or having to worry about performance and security.




  • Pretty much. It’s a tired analogy, but the “unawakened” people in The Matrix come to mind. They’re not helping the cause, but it’s not right to declare that they’re evil or deserve hate like OP was suggesting.

    They don’t know any better but that doesn’t mean they deserve ire. They’re reasonably reacting based on the information they have.










  • That is absolutely false.

    Corporations can only donate on your behalf, so they get no tax benefits whatsoever. They cannot claim the money you donated as income nor can they donate it under their own name. The only thing they can do is use it for PR and tell the public “they helped raise $x for this cause”.

    That said, if you donate a non trivial amount to charity, you should do it directly with the charity so you can get a tax receipt and write it off on your personal taxes.
