I mean, kind of. I wouldnt say extroverts, so much as “people with good/decent social skills”. Introversion/extroversion is a sliding scale, not a dichotomy, and it refers more to your propensity to gain or lose energy from social interactions - not your ability to socialize.
While many more introverted people find socializing more difficult in general, there is no reason why they can’t develop the skill.
I mean, this is essentially all hiring processes.
The way to get actually good employees is to be the sort of place that actual good employees want to work for. Good pay, good work-life balance, good managers and company culture, work that is enjoyable and meaningful. Then, you hire through social networks. The founders start off as people who meet through informal social networks. They hire their friends. And then they ask their friends for further recommendations. The best way to know if someone is a good hire is if you have actually worked with them before. And at this point, the interview is really just hanging out, shaking hands, and having lunch before you sign some paperwork.
Its the most true thing you’ll read all day.
Probably because someone said it was a good idea in a meeting.
WordPress?
Hmmm… Interesting! Maybe I’m mistaken
Here is as close as I could find to the source data. Unfortunately, everything is listed in terms of “market share” which is great for “back slaps for the boys”, but less great for generating hypotheses for actual causes. What I would like is the raw numbers - what were the total devices for each OS?
My bets for what are driving this change, from least to most likely:
No, because the “surge” in market share is almost certainly driven not by the average user’s love of open source software, but by the average user simply letting their laptop die as they switch to phones and tablets as their sole computing devices. Windows users aren’t becoming Linux users. They are becoming Android users.
An additional 100% we didn’t plan for to make the damn thing actually work after delivery.
I like both comments and long variable / function names. I also like it when people break functions down into excessively fine detail.
Why? Because deleting redundant lines is always easier than figuring out what is going on when you don’t have the information you need.
I will name functions by just vomiting out my current train of thought about what the function needs to do. Sometimes it ends up being so long it runs off the page. Good. Now I know exactly what the function does, and anyone in the future will too. But more importantly, an obnoxiously long name draws the ire of everyone who reads it until someone comes up with a better name - usually me, when I’m not actively trying to write the code in the function body. As long as this isn’t a public function in a library that is actively being referenced by hundreds of people, the change is easy with modern ide refactoring tools.
I also do this with comments. But usually, the comments become my function names, and then the comments are redundant.
Because trashy people never saw Austin Powers and updated their use of quotation marks to denote sarcasm.
Quotation marks were historically used to add emphasis to text, the way asterisks are used today. Old people who refuse to change and don’t realize their way of writing is actively making fun of themselves still use them this way. These are also the people who watch Fox.
