Coding is better than ever though. Developing in 2008 sucked. So solution to your problem is to code more
Jeremiah Perry
How? I'm still using stuff that was around then. You mean the compilers are better?
Nicholas Parker
For the record, today we're more willing (and algorithmically induced) to acknowledge many of the problematic shit that was festering during that time: further expansion of executive power, rising greenhouse gas emissions and the like, growing wealth gap, housing crisis, tech ignorance amongst the general population and geriatric public officials, etc.

this reads like one of those generic comments you'd see on HN
Zachary Hill
You zoomer cunt, Bill Gates was always a piece of shit and never a "cool guy". Stop swallowing cum

At a certain point philanthropy transforms from neutral feel good charitable giving into yet another exercise of power, and potentially a net profitable one too. If you prefer to ignore Gates on healthcare despite the sometimes damaging attempts to restructure how third world governments deliver and think about delivering healthcare you could also look into Gates on education and how well those models have worked out.

>What's True >Bill Gates father, William Gates Sr., worked on the board of Planned Parenthood, along with other charities. from snopes (fact checker tm) always has been.

The world ended in 2008, it's been downhill ever since.

Keeping your eyes closed and putting your fingers in your ears won't shield you from the harm that'll be inflicted upon you and your loved ones.
Nathaniel Robinson
Elon didn't create shit, he was an investor and muscled his way into ceo
Cameron Martinez
>Elon created this weird car company you mean he bought the title of "founder" from its original creators.

The problem with the internet not being cool anymore specifically is that every mainstream search engine funnels people into the top 5-10 sites no matter what they search. We need not just a new search engine because eventually that will get corrupted too. We need webrings, link directories, stuff like that, to supplement whatever search engine there is.
Hudson Anderson
>without malicious hindrance Won't be the case for very long I'm afraid. Granted this isn't Bill's fault but the retards that took control after him and Ballmer.
Gavin Perez
this, jquery was perfect, why soidevs have to ruin everything, now they are shilling compiled crap into a hypertext markup language protocol. They are fucking crazy retards and will destroy even more internet with their security shilling
