Can we all please agree to not put something called ‘Blog’ on a website if it doesn’t also have a RSS/Atom feed for it? If you’re going to make me have to remember to check your site for new articles, I’m not going to do that.

TIL the online dating site OkCupid once (2014) warned Firefox users about the Firefox (then) CEO's stance against same-sex-marriage and offered them download links to other browsers.

- 7.2% of American adults are LGBTQ. That's 18.9 million adults, or larger than the entire veteran population. - 11 million Americans are bisexual. That's more people than the entire state of Georgia. - 3.6 million Americans are gay. That's more than the entire state of Utah. - 2.6 million Americans are lesbian. That's more people than every single farmer in the country. - and 1.6 million of us are transgender. That's TWICE as many as there are cops in the entire United States. When people say "we shouldn't change our entire society just to pander to such a small percentage of it", that's obviously a really dumb argument from just an ethical stance. But it's also a really dishonest one. Because they would never say the same thing about veterans, farmers, cops, or the populations of entire States.

It’s important to have a quick understanding of the situation. Taking a scan of what could have been done or what can be done. In the event that this does happen to an individual, the mindset of being resourceful on how else you can build your career will be an essential tool. In the field of tech, there are many opportunities out there.
