The author may call it thought provoking but i feel there are some quite dangerous ideas in his mind and a severe lack of perspective.

While saying he hates wage-slaves, he seems to treat everyone under him like a slave.

This pdf on the website is kinda scary, i couldn't help but to feel offended: http://www.alexstjohn.com/WP/download/Recruiting%20Giants.pd...

Also, using the word millennial just tells me you are a grumpy old guy yelling at kids to get off your lawn.


Looking great, just a small pet peeve, in the coming soon section, above portuguese you have the brazil flag, feels kinda weird being portuguese and seeing that :)


I know, I know - I'm sorry. Despite some of the objections, I just think flags do make great language icons. I do understand that complaints, though.

In that particular case, we chose the Brazilian flag because the list and audio is target at Brazilian Portuguese. We should probably explicitly write "Brazilian."

Interestingly, we couldn't find a flag icon for Arabic that was neutral enough. So we just chose the green color from the Arab League flag (which I guess could itself be controversial) and wrote "Arabic" in white text.


I would write "Portuguese (Brazil)" rather than Brazilian, similar to how you often see "English (US)" or "English (UK)". If I saw "Brazilian" my first thought would be "whoever wrote this doesn't know that Brazil speaks Portuguese".


Haha, right - I was thinking "Brazilian Portuguese."

Though, we will be launching Mexican and Canadian soon as well!


Hello Dave!


there is a reddit dedicated to small snippets of code called tinycode, but it does not focus in any particular language. Github maybe your best option.
