I can totally relate to this, I've had major issues with anxiety and depression that required me to attend large number of therapy sessions + change several meds... The author described what I felt during my uni years and being a complete foreigner, every feeling for me was amplified. Losing attention from close relatives to having financial problems on top of loneliness made things a living hell to me.
To the author, I hope you feel better mate.
To the dicks who cannot comprehend mental illness, shut your cake holes.
a nice-looking lady ventures into a place infested by nerds who are sexually frustrated and lacking in experiences with the opposite gender and then she complains that they lack the ability to communicate well with her... here, let me say it. TAKE YOUR GENDER AND SHOVE IT PLEASE. GENDER MEANS NOTHING.
you're awesome! you totally get the idea, people if the language does not fit your needs move on!!!! I mean seriously making all the fuss about generics even though that Go is being used in major projects (Cloudflare, UK.gov) yet we see more people arguing that is not right.
I'm glad Rob Pike and Co. don't give a rats a about such opinions.
