    I'm on book 4 now, so I guess you could call me a fan. I'll probably watch this show, but like, I'm not excited or anything. More confused than anything.

    No. But I pay for it anyways because this business model is far far superior to youtube/twitch/facebook and I want to encourage it to grow.

    Same here. I left Christianity with a Bible in my lap. My brain finally gave in and accepted the self-contradictions were problematic.

    I read his article, when it first came out (I think it was a top post here on tildes?). I disagreed with him strongly. I thought he was wrong. He basically is saying "NPR is not Republican enough"...

    I read his article, when it first came out (I think it was a top post here on tildes?). I disagreed with him strongly. I thought he was wrong. He basically is saying "NPR is not Republican enough" except in code words.

    Anyways no comments on whether being wrong deserves a suspension or not. That is up to NPR to decide.

    wow. my bad, my apologies. is fixed. (But also shame on me for not giving more details...)

    I think it will be very hard for OP to find any show that compares to The Last of Us, since it was such a top of the line season. The Last of Us really stands out head and shoulders over anything I can remember seeing in a long time. I would not get my hopes up for anything else to be as good.

    I mean ... my opinion is The Last of Us season 1 is the best season of a show of the last ten years.

    Nothing any of these people do is worth 4x what you make. Just like Jeff Bezos is not worth 10000 times what I make. Capitalism needs winners and losers in order to work. We're the losers.

    How does that justify earning 4x+ what I make?

    (tbh its been a while since I read it)

    In any case, I teach lunch'n learn sessions on clean code at my company. Would never endorse taking the words of any one author as god. It always practical that books are guidelines, and any and all forced rules must be documented in Confluence. Confluence is god :)

    you guys are doing a bit of a straw man if you ask me. I advocate for clean code. but the number of lines per function is always a guideline/code smell and not a hard rule.
