Hey now, you should be thanking your teachers for this incredibly valuable early life lesson on the difference between what the customer says that they want and what they actually need, and which of these two you are going to get paid more for!
Remember: the customer is always right!

Just to be clear, the problem is actually not that the guy was being boring but that he was a monster.
Oh, dear child, it goes to the same place where you will go when you inevitably die one day: into complete non-existence, save for an echo in others' minds, and after a while not even that.
Sweet dreams!
I think you meant to say:
I knew it, no comments yet, everyone’s a sheep
Choosing to have a child later on generally has fewer negative consequences than unchoosing a child you have already had.
I find the author’s writing style immature, sensationalist, and tiresome, but they raise a number of what appear to be solid points, some of which are highlighted above.
I tried reading the article and gave up because life is too short for me to read a tiresome article making points that aren't even particularly that new.
All of these options are still better than spending full price for a pair of jeans that were lovingly crafted to start with holes in them!
I appreciate this sentiment a great deal in general, but sometimes it is difficult to uphold when I have to regularly deal with "time vampires" who not only require that I explain the same thing to them over and over again beyond reason but who also show no willingness or ability to actually learn the thing that I am explaining to them; at some point I just run out of patience and start ignoring them to the extent that I am able.
This news story is literally about the FTC actively suing for injunctive relief; the "complaint" in question is actually a formal legal letter addressed to the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court.
Edit: fixed typo
Wait... I just noticed this:
[XHTML] never took off on the web, in part because in a website context so much HTML is generated by templates and libraries that it’s all too easy to introduce a syntax error somewhere along the line; and unlike HTML, where a syntax error would still render something, the tiniest syntax error in XHTML means the whole thing gets thrown out by the browser and you get the Yellow Screen of Death.
This confuses me; don't you want to make sure you are always generating a syntactically valid document, rather than hoping that the browser will make something suitable up to work around your mistake?
I am extremely skeptical of the claim that you were able to maintain a speed of 17-22 mph for 1.5-2 hours straight twice a day every single work day for an entire year. At the very least, this is not a solution that most people are capable of without a long period of intensive training.
Indeed, you make an excellent point that Advent of Code solutions need to be maintained for years to come.
