Isn't the problem for startups the lack of developers rather than the problem for developers a lack of startups? This seems to be aimed at the developers but in order to solve the startups' problems?
I was confused by the use of "sanctioned" in the byline. They meant it mean "had sanctions imposed", but I understood it as "given permission" which set the article in a completely different tone. What an odd word.
Terry Pratchett had over 70 books published in his lifetime, and so his legacy is in his published works, while Kafka's masterpieces were largely unpublished at the time of his death and he was not widely known, so they are not really analogous situations.
Everyone's choice is personal, and while it is not fair for people to say your hypothetical choice would be selfish, I would also ask you to be careful about your judgements on others who are actually facing this and have made a different choice.
It is slightly ironic that that comment was deleted on a post on this subject. Did the poster do it themself or were they censored? Part of the conspiracy?
I love this article. It aims to show the political spectrum through a detailed study of a microcosm. While certain issues might be very specific to this constituency, through the piece it details the wider picture such as the battle between the hard left and the hard right for the same voters, and the issues they hold in common. I love it. I wonder how true this is of other countries or whether it is specific to the UK. Greece has had a similar situation with Golden Dawn and Syriza, although to a much larger scale as it is unlikely that UKIP or a socialist alliance/Greens could ever take power given the first past the post system.
