Re:Benchmarking Codswallop: Node.js vs. PHP on Tuesday November 12, 2013 @09:31AM (#6717978)
I get sick of these language wars, especially the constant stream of PHP ridicule that just never seems to end. The positives I try to take away from all of it is that there are a lot of people that are extremely passionate about software development and are striving for better tools and ways to express themselves. I want to believe that through the vitriol encountered in some of these articles that there are people really trying to improve the technologies at heart instead of taking part of some kind of programing language apologetics. In regards to PHP, I think that the ridicule has led to improvements in the language, but the overall tone in some of these articles is still a turn off for me.
Re:Anxiety: Nothing to Do but Embrace the Dread on Monday July 15, 2013 @09:48PM (#6049601)
Anxiety is a naturally occurring process that has been essential to human survival. Some individuals have managed to place a completely different judgement on anxiety and we call those people thrill seekers while other individuals feel paralyzed with fear. Where one sees dread the other sees a potential for a state of euphoria. Conquering anxiety is not at all to do with removing it but with managing our perception of the experience. Embracing anxiety is not so much with accepting dread but to understand this naturally occurring system of defense and ultimately desensitizing ourselves to the dread associated with the experience.

The writing style was rather annoying and detracted from the overall message.
