The latest research, published in the journal Neuroradiology, has found that this particular garment restricts blood flow to the brain, putting some wearers at risk of headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Using science to justify my life choices, Part 42
I know I'm nauseated when I have to wear a tie

They are treating wearing a tie like wearing a tight collar. I am sure that the collar is the real problem. I used to wear a tie regularly but I always made sure my collar wasn't tight and, although I closed up the tie fully against my collar, since the collar wasn't constricting it was never a problem to wear it all day long.
I no longer wear a tie regularly but that is more to fit in with my colleagues in a business casual environment than any fear of asphyxiation!

Kent Sharkey wrote: Full stack developer, master of none
There is a quote (don't remember who said it) that more or less says: A specialist is someone that know everyday more about less, until he knows all about nothing.
I actually follow my father's advice: Learn enough to do your job some better than the rest and then start learning the next thing. And after 15 years I agree with him, for me is better to know 50% or 60% about 10 things than 90% or 100% about 2 things. (in a couple of topics I would say I am 80% to 85%, but this came out from experience)

I have always found the fullstack developer role a bit if a myth. I have never come across anyone who was as capable at the front end as they were on the back end. Yes there are people who are good at both, they still tend to be better at one versus the other and not equally good at both. Being creative and logical are different parts of the brain. Creative people tend not be as logical and vice versa.

And then there is that old saying -- a full stack developer is a developer who copies full source code for his/her projects from Stack Overflow / Stack Exchange.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Does it mean the full stack developer has to do all the work if he knows everything?

It has been found that some of the startups and tech companies prefer humans working behind the false label of AI because it is cheap to hire workforce than to build the technology from scratch. That's one way to pass the Turing Test
