No code of course, just name-hoarding. FOSS can be really ugly sometimes.
Facebook scam and censure
Today people reported that McDonaldsEgypt's page apparently bought likes, identifying friends' likes that didn't make sense.Twitter shows more people identified this supposed "glitch". [1]McDonaldsEgypt itself admitted something was wrong. [2]I commented on a friend's post on facebook about the issue and liked to the Veritasium's video about the facebook scam, and the post is now silently gone....

I guess an excuse like "you got hacked" helps you get much more important information from your users.
No one is talking about how all of the sudden, a lot of accounts supposedly got "hacked".
Why git rebase can save hours of work
There is nothing wrong with that. That is the economical system in the works.
If no one is willing to pay for his product/service at the price he needs to charge, it is because either people do not need it, or they can get it cheaper somewhere else. In business, if you can't compete, you shouldn't.
In this specific case, these jobs are getting oursourced to china or replaced by machines. This is wonderful. Not for infimal number of people that lose their jobs, but to the huge number of people who will be able to afford that product/service cheaper.
I can't set up an ice-cream kiosk in antartica and whine about how business is hard and what will be of the antartica ice-cream industry.
I am curious too, but I think this one will not reply. If he does, i'll make sure to come back with an update. ;)
"I would n't go as far as to call your half-finished NodeJS/MongoDB tinkering and yet another mustache clone "real work on real projects" "
I believe that most of the time, even the silly little pet projects, because their're made out of fun and passion and not because is paying you can provide a better insight into one's programming habbits, practices and skills. A traditional CV tells you _nothing_ compared to a "half-finished" pet project.
"I also want people that work for me to do what the duck I've told them to do in the end"
Remember, you came to me, asking if I am interested in your "offers", as soon as I say "yes, please tell me more" you assume I work for you? I don't. Thanks, but no thanks. You should not assume I am at your service because you privileged me with your invitation.
"Sure, be I also hire for other 5,000 open positions in this company that are not "developers, programmers or software engineers" and I want a bloody CV document to put in my document management system alongside theirs."
Hey, it's your job. I don't complain to users about how they should use web apps to make my work easier. I'm not going to tell you how to do your job, and don't ask me to do it for you.
Sorry if I came across as a dick. I assure you I did not mean to offend you. I just feel that if I was recruiting, I would like some feedback as harsh as it may be. I figure it is always better than being ignored. Otherwise, I'm just sorry I wasted our time.
Best regards Mr Recruiter,
My reply to a recruiter who asked for my CV
Hey Matthew,I really am glad you want to help me find a good opportunity to work in London. But I feel we're starting on the wrong foot.I do not maintain a CV. And if I did, I would only reflect some information that is already public on LinkedIn. I do make some effort to keep my LinkedIn profile updated. I am a firm believer that CVs are thing from the past, they have been deprecated in favor...
