Actual advice doesn't come in snippy 3 word phrases. Its a troll job, nothing more. And I suspect you are trolling yourself. If you aren't, you have a lot to learn about social skills, career paths, and programming. edit - yup, as if it wasn't obvious enough just by looking, this is a 4chan originated troll job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-23 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 16 hours ago, 406in604 said: How did this become offensive, abusive or triggering? I learned to code when I was 15. Never thought I would see journalists being 'triggered' by the term. They are banning people on Twitter for saying those three words. Quite a time we live in. Any other coders in here? Context: https://www.theringer.com/tech/2019/1/29/18201695/learn-to-code-twitter-abuse-buzzfeed-journalists You are on the soft and lame side of Twitter. I can’t even open Twitter up in public, too risky. Now Twitter is a &^@#ed up app, you see it all on Twitter. Some funny memes and videos. However, there are times where I’ve seen a dude cut off the head of a cheater, just yesterday I saw a full thread on SIMS porn and I see daily offensive $&!# and nothing happens to the poster. Twitter users don’t play around, they literally forced Demi Lovato to delete her account the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know where you get the impression that being laid off means they are ex journalists. You are aware that people can look for another job in the same field when they lose their job aren't you? 3 hours ago, King Heffy said: Lose your job?

The journalism industry hasn't vanished, and neither has writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
