Because I like the username. What's wrong with it?

>Why a new account?

Because I wanted the username.

What are you inquisitive about?

It happens all the time. Constantly and consistently. If you go against any kind of socially conservative or libertarian perspective it will get down voted and very likely flagged. It's always been this way.

>The effect of both is to enforce the status quo of social beliefs. Stories that appear to challenge the narrative that good programmers are just naturally talented tend to vanish. Stories that discuss the difficulties faced by minorities in our field are summarily disappeared. There are no social problems in the technology industry. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

You cannot discuss things in an actual academic manner on this forum. It is a tech enthusiast forum that happens to have a lot of money surrounding it.

>Strict moderation

I don't consider the moderation on this site to be strict at all?

It's tone police more than it is content police. HN continually lets comments and statements go completely unquestioned, and in some cases actively supports view points, that are objectively wrong in the most vanilla fashion all because it was said in the correct manner.

Why do you think this? Almost every top comment was critical of cloudflare's response for a variety of reasons.

You know what's actually incredibly easy if you have a programming background?

Consolidating versions of jQuery.

>If I'm the next developer I would thank him.

For what? You wouldn't know anything about the previous site implementation

No one said they were silver bullets. No one.

This sounds like you wrote something extremely limited. The client will inevitably ask for some modification to it, and if you're not there to do it the next developer is going to curse at you for writing such a brain dead application.

I've seen comments like this on HN and then I've seen these types of applications in the wild. I call it the most dishonest form of consulting you can do. You've put a real shine on some inflexible shit and the clients obviously have no way of knowing what they've bought into.

>It replaced a site that was a mess of javascript libraries on top of frameworks on top of a half dozen jquery version and on and on and on.

These people are incapable of correctly evaluating work they contract out, or who is doing it. Why do you think you're an exception in this case?

...this was said in reference to being able to use the powers of legislature to serve the greater good despite private interests.

It means the exact opposite of what you think it means.
