Most small and medium digital agencies I know of use the word "developer" in that way, as someone who sets up and manages CMS for clients, usually also doing customizations using stock plug-ins and sometimes writing plug-ins themselves. Handling all from configuration files, code to looks, UI and even marketing and photo editing when needed. And I can even tell you of some other companies that use title developer for people who only configure Microsoft Sharepoint for their clients, even more in my country people who sell newly build apartments are also called developers. It is just a word, it is not a real problem here.

The problem here in my opinion are your missed expectations and how are you reacting to this situation. I could just tell you "yes, those people don't know what a developer is" but that will not help you grow.

Looking at the whole thing from my perspective you seem to be very disappointed that this company did not meet your expectations and perhaps that you did not meet theirs. It's just a job interview. It's OK. Sorry if they were unpleasant, but it was their choice and arguing what a true "developer" really is will not change the outcome. I understand that you are upset, but what good will come from arguing about agency, that "doesn't even have..." ? There is not really a right and wrong in this situation, just you and that company did not fit together, do not think about it as your failure or as them abusing some kind of universal rule. It may hurt you, because you care, but really it's just a minor annoyance. A mismatch.
I try to help recruiters calling me from the Bay Area understand how profound a negative impact the housing prices are for my modest standard of living. I'm in the midwest, and my house current estimated sale price (if offered for sale today), would be insufficient to be the down payment for the purchase a comparable sized house/property in a reasonable middle class (not upscale) area. I could drop the size of my house (1600 sq ft) down to say 600 or so. And then the pricing is, using Bay Area zillow listings, about a factor of 2 higher than what I could sell my house for here.

Honestly, the housing cost is a severe impediment to people with families, unless companies decide to adjust for this in a real manner. But, the moment they do, pricing/rents will go way up.

The only real way to solve this problem is to not try to bring more people to the Bay Area. Defuse the rent seekers. Reduce the tech mediated inflation.

I don't think this will happen on its own. You'll need a crash of some sort for the area to find its real prices. And it is alarming talking to the recruiters, whom seem to think that housing prices will only ever go up.

This communal living is IMO, a symptom of the problem. It is not a long term solution. I don't know what is the solution. Though I should point out that there is a whole rest of the country which is relatively open ...
Why is the "enterprise" the culprit? The things you describe have more to do with generational churn, abusing the web as a desktop replacement, and developer's desires to always use the latest stuff as a stepping stone for the next gig, or maybe to convince themselves they're avantgarde when in reality it's mostly boring stuff.

I used to live at the Negev, it is not an accurate depiction of startup culture in San Francisco. For starters, it used to be a place that hosted regular Hackathons, tech talks, and other tech related stuff. However it soon turned into a druggie fest, at one point I even saw a girl doing cocaine in the main communal area. I don't think I would ever live in the Negev again, but I did meet a few people that were very nice.

The Negev is a small microcosm of start up culture in the Bay Area.

There are two big obstacles:

1) Building a last-mile network is very expensive. There is a lot of backbone-style fiber in the ground but getting end customers connected to that network is a complex maze of permits, digging, pole attachments, and so on. Just the manpower alone is staggering. Verizon spent years and billions on it and all they have to show for it now is a disgruntled former CEO and having fobbed off 2/3rds of their former wireline territories off onto Frontier and Fairpoint.

2) There is a lot of people-based inertia to overcome. As individuals, people object to having streets dug up, new equipment boxes planted in places, and all of the general dust and noise that construction of any kind creates. Plus your competitors will try to throw up roadblocks and, let's face it, they have more money and influence than you do. And if you want to do more than serve single-family houses and townhouses, you will have to negotiate with building owners for access. Even when the residents are the owners, like condominiums, there's still a process to gain access to walls.

Then you have to consider how you get your wires from A to B; do you go above ground (easier but then you have to get access to the poles, which may be privately owned, and then you contend with the owners of the poles and the people who consider any new wires on poles to be unsightly) or do you bury (digging up streets, sidewalks, and utility easements has gotten a lot easier but you are still bound to disturb something and Woe Betide You if you accidentally hit a natural gas line)? And then, if you want to serve an "area" instead of "a city," what do you do when you need to cross city or county borders? Or a major highway (that's likely owned by the state government)? Not all cities are compact; take Dallas, it is both large and contains three separate municipalities inside of its general area.

So, yeah, it's really hard and it gets harder the more people you have in a space, though the subscriber possibilities are much greater.

It's maintained by the 'official' brew cask maintainers; /caskroom/homebrew-cask has 10.6k stars, so I wouldn't worry - why would I star their website repo?

caskroom.io is listed on the team page on Github, so it seems like it's just an oversight.

When I retire? I've always had a buy and hold mentality.

When the market crashed in 2009, I lost almost 33% of my portfolio value. However, I had no intention of using that money for decades.

As a result, I was 100% in the market when things picked up a few years later. When the market was going up 20-30% a year, I made up the lose within 2 years. Overall the market is up 3.5x since the bottom. Annualized return even pre-crash have been 7%+.

Totally anecdotal, but I wonder if it's related. Two nights ago, I was out with friends drinking and playing pool. We normally go home at 3AM, but this time we went to another bar after and stayed there until 10AM. At some point, maybe around 8AM, I became incredibly happy. Euphoric is actually the word I used to describe it at the time. I wondered if I'd been slipped ecstacy or something, since I was so happy beyond anything alcohol usually does.

I was hoping for an answer that values a well functioning society for themselves and their nearest higher than any extra returns on stocks. That's patriotism.

..

I spoke at Dartmouth once, and a woman stood up after I spoke, I write in my book, and she said to me, "Professor, you've convinced me this is hopeless. Hopeless. There's nothing we can do." When she said that, I scrambled. I tried to think, "How do I respond to that hopelessness? What is that sense of hopelessness?" And what hit me was an image of my six-year-old son. And I imagined a doctor coming to me and saying, "Your son has terminal brain cancer, and there's nothing you can do. Nothing you can do."

So would I do nothing? Would I just sit there? Accept it? Okay, nothing I can do? I'm going off to build Google Glass. Of course not. I would do everything I could, and I would do everything I could because this is what love means, that the odds are irrelevant and that you do whatever the hell you can, the odds be damned. And then I saw the obvious link, because even we liberals love this country.

And so when the pundits and the politicians say that change is impossible, what this love of country says back is, "That's just irrelevant." We lose something dear, something everyone in this room loves and cherishes, if we lose this republic, and so we act with everything we can to prove these pundits wrong.

> Is there any reason to treat these as drugs instead of just poisons?

because they have useful medical effects, a safe dose, and a decent therapeutic index. They have accepted uses in human and animal medicine.

That the effective (and lethal) doses are both very small (and thus hard to precisely meter and dispense) only becomes a problem for people who can't access pharmaceutical-grade opioids.
Yes, but there's no broad "catch all" permission, and the permissions are things every user will understand (e.g. access contacts). Additionally you don't have the option to pretend your app is older than it is and bypass permissions altogether. Your proposal is very different from the iOS model.
>A better example of prohibition backfiring is with marijuana, where before prohibition ~0% of Americans were marijuana users, whereas today ~85% of American adults have used marijuana.

No a better example was when Alex3917 made up shit, and then tried to legitimize his shit by comparing regular "users" to the population that has had at least one use. Wait that's not a better example, I'm just calling you out.

Cannabis use was alive and well before Federal Prohibition, Alcohol and Marijuana. ~0% of Americans were users? Maybe in the early 1400s.
