This history of the opinion pieces is an interesting one. I just wanted to point those two facts out to anyone who may have missed that in the headline.

More info if you're interested:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/03/insider/opinion-op-ed-explainer.html

The Opinion section operates editorially independently from the rest of the newspaper. It is the section’s unique mission both to be the voice of The Times, and to challenge it. The Op-Ed pages were born, in part, because of the closing of New York’s top conservative newspaper, The New York Herald Tribune. They were created to be opposite the editorial pages — and not just physically.

“The purpose of the Op. Ed. page is neither to reinforce nor to counterbalance The Times’s own editorial position,” the introduction to the newly created opinion pages stated in 1970. “The objective is rather to afford greater opportunity for exploration of issues and presentation of new insights and new ideas by writers and thinkers who have no institutional connection with The Times and whose views will very frequently be completely divergent from our own.”

Just to highlight that last bit: The opinions are frequently chosen to be completely divergent from those held by the NYT staff.

All his experience and education was "free" in the context of his experiment. He didn't start that experiment with zero experience, and he did start it with zero debt.There are plenty of smart, motivated, people who have to give up on their actual life dreams to take care of sick family members, not just on their latest vanity project like this asshat.

Well, it's an opinion piece, and a guest writing it, so there's that.

I kinda get it. Some people are imagining a Nespresso commercial from the 90's, all cozy and comfy.

I, a person who once shared an office with someone who thought air popping popcorn at their desk was a socially acceptable thing to do, can imagine a Sam Kinnison-esque vibe to the "AHHHHs".

JavaScript: :wide eyed and smiling: Sure why not! You're the boss!

Python: Sighing and downing half a bottle of Advil: Sure. Why not, you're the boss.
