Of course, he left out the fact that the $40,000.00 USD worth of computer time was stolen from a US government owned computer on loan to one of his professors. He didn't actually PAY $40k USD or even raise funds to cover the equivalent value of the stolen computer time. Gates is a thief, and this was just his first big heist. I was always of the opinion that he US government should have gotten a cut of MS BASIC since it couldn't have been built without the modified emulator handling the ALTAIR 8080 assembly instructions.

People can go ahead mod me down for this, but I honestly don't care at this point. Here's the best ways to avoid this:

1.) Quit doing PRs for feedback. Start doing pair or mob programming. Bonus points if you ditch PRs completely and do https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/ instead while you're at it. Asynchronous code review via PRs is waste (in the Lean sense). 2.) If you still want PRs despite pairing & mobbing (or you're about to tell me you've never done it, you're team won't and/or whatever insert lame excuse here as to slam/dismiss it without trying), spend a faster 5 min via screen share and audio AND CAMERA! Do the PR like an old skool code review session live/remote + camera, but have the author ANNOTATE for their own notes what you've reviewed when they go back to revise. 80% of human communication is non-verbal - interact w/ voice & camera. Help them learn & build confidence, then you won't worry about your writing tone. 3.)

Joke answer: "Because like an adult asking a child, 'What do you want to be when they grow up?', they're actually looking for ideas because they don't know what the hell they're doing":)

Right on! Total agreement here. Since I was pretty addicted (as of about a year ago), not only did I delete the app from my phone, I changed my passsword to one generated by LastPass (e.g. totally freaking hard to memorize). This re-enforces the fact that the only EASY way to get on FB is via my laptop:)
