Who tf cares?

This article with the sections "Why I'm Right", "Why You're Wrong", and "Conclusion" is the perfect blogspam I'd expect from Viget. You guys don't have anything of value to say and I got this same "I'm better than you" treatment when I interviewed to be a dev at your shop years ago. I'm not salty because I got turned down; I'm responding today because you guys are pompous and are spreading that attitude with bad hiring practices in my area, and garbage blog posts in my neck of the internet.



I felt the same until I got to the end.

> This article was intended for laughs. I do not actually care how you pronounce "varchar". Pronounce it however you want. Don't @ me.


I don't have the same general take as you but I am curious to hear about what kind of bad hiring practices Viget has. What was your experience like?


I think the article is supposed to be fairly sarcastic in nature. At least, that's how I read it


How to say that you didn't read to the end without saying that you didn't read to the end.


Why should he?

TL DR

Petty whining

Pompous corrections

Why I’m right in large bold text

Why you’re wrong in large bold text

At the very very very end of the teeth pulling, nails on chalk cringe fest.

……it’s a joke guys hehe…..
