I try to stay off social media because social media is human poison. From time to time I will go to Reddit for technical discussions. You would think that, given Reddit’s income, they would hire actual developers and have a physical QA test team, wouldn’t you? Guess not. In case you cannot see the featured image I have posted on Reddit before. I spent 3 hours creating a very detailed response to this question. Tried … Why Reddit SucksRead more
