Yeah. My last job, a PR with commented out code typically wouldn't get approved. Either leave it in version history, or stick it on a branch

Not to my face. But as someone else said, it's rare for you to be told the rejection reason (for early dating). There are a lot of reasons for this, but part of it is people kind of suck at taking rejection. And on top of that, a significant portion of men are dangerous.
No one wants to risk the man flipping out, spewing cruelty, or worse. A gentler letdown seems safer.
Do you think they realize that they made her look fun (smiling) and him look awful (scowling, wearing a school child backpack, bad haircut) ?
The bar is set REALLY low
There's a saying "the bar for men is in hell"
I thought it meant there was a drinking establishment for men in hell. They go and drink with the devil, and that's where they get all their bad ideas. They're doing shots and the devil's like "say she's fat", and the guy is like "good advice bro".
Turns out the saying just means the bar is super low. So low you don't even have to jump. It's so low, it's deeper than the depths of the earth and in the fires of hell that burn below.
But yeah, so many men are so horrible, it's shockingly easy to rise above them.
Meta should be broken up and its leadership barred from working in tech (or politics)
This kind of problem falls under "communicating badly and acting smug when misunderstood". Use parenthesis and the problem goes away.
Most email is short. I don't see a need to summarize it. Google is run by idiots and assholes.
Tech companies don’t really give a damn what customers want anymore.
Ed Zitron wrote an article about how leadership is business idiots. They don't know the products or users but they make decisions and get paid. Long, like everything he writes, but interesting

Our economy is run by people that don't participate in it and our tech companies are directed by people that don't experience the problems they allege to solve for their customers, as the modern executive is no longer a person with demands or responsibilities beyond their allegiance to shareholder value.
Call the function from the if block.
Now your tests can more easily call it.
I think at my last job we did argument parsing in the if block, and passed stuff into the main function.
I had a director of eng once who asked me to mind my language when I said "For fuck's sake it returns 200 OK even when there's an error".
So I started naively replacing "fuck" with "fudge". "That's pretty fudged up." "Well, fudge it, we'll deal with that next." "Fudge if I know."
He didn't really like it, but he can go fudge himself.
Yeah I was going to say. It's like that "no take only throw" meme with the dog. Capitalists want us to spend money, but they don't want to pay us enough money. Just spend what we don't have.
If I had a nice job I'd be out spending a lot more money. But they want to replace everyone with AI, or off shore, or whatever.

"Use a different language" is a common defense of javascript, but kind of a weird one.
