Not really. Writing style is an inherent part of journalism.

`s/\!\+/./` would cut it, though.

Each time I try to read an article by Julia, I get alienated by the chidlish style of writing (count the exclamation marks and caps).

Which is a shame, because the article is otherwise fine.

Web development may get boring, I admit. That's why people go deeper into backend, devopsing, etc.

Certifications (and most uni diplomas TBH) in IT are generally bullshit so I'm happy we're, as an industry, relieved from that.

I have hard time trusting people who care about formal looks. A person with skills and dedication doesn't need to look like a good pet engineer.

> they swear alot, simply they look like people from lower social classes

The irony of criticising people for "looking like" "lower classes", while making mistakes like "alot".

Stop stigmatising blue-collar workers.

Uhh, people who transition don't really enjoy being referred to as their previous gender they struggled with. So that's an empathy/common decency thing not to do that.

But this is HN and we like not to consider empathy here (no offence, I exhibit this exact thought pattern too), we need a "logical" explanation. So what about: a person with a third arm does not have that defect anymore after it is surgically removed. You won't refer to someone like that as a person with 3 arms, for a couple of reasons.
