Yes, mechanical keyboards are noisy and inappropriate for a shared office.

some of them are. I'm typing this on a keyboard with browns in an open plan office, and the three people who sit within two feet of me have no issue with it.

I work in an open office with 5 other programmers around, and none of us are bothered by each other's mechanical keyboards. We have a mix of Cherry Blues and Browns. We all agree that it's the least annoying thing about our open office.

It's a shared cultural thing unique to each company, no need to cast a blanket statement.

I'd argue that the real issue is that shared offices are inappropriate for programming.

Blue and green switches are inappropriate for a shared office, but if you get brown switches and install sound dampeners then they can be as quiet as a normal keyboard.

I wouldn't blanket all Mechanical Keyboards into this, its absolutely possible to build one that is no louder then your standard membrane keyboards.

What qualifies as "better"? Twitter has pretty great user flagging, but I still get uncensored porn from people who are not followed by anyone I know in my 'Your Highlights' email, and I have safe settings enabled. I'd say even one exposure to that is enough to put off users. Or the parents of users.

Twitter is terrible for flagging NSFW content. Either everything you post is NSFW, not nothing you post is NSFW. You can't flag a single post as NSFW

Is this something that necessarily needs to come from a university? All of the things you mentioned seem like skills one would pick up in an entry-level job. Is there something about a job that makes it easier to never develop these habits?

Do you really want every decision you make to be available to everyone you interact with, and then used to judge you? You're that confident in the dirty details of your life?

Ideally yes, provided everyone else decision is also available to me. Do I have dirt ? Of course. I would be okay if everyone else dirt is exposed too.

True that people can use information to judge me, but it can be both positive and negative.

Right now, having "dirt" is not without its trade off and inconvenient, you have to make effort to conceal it, hide it.

Keep in mind "dirty details" is a matter of perspective. Details that aren't dirty can become dirty depending upon who is wielding power.

That sounds like a poor justification for simply using the wrong phrase. I've never heard it used sarcastically, just incorrectly.

"In this particular scenario, we were slow to respond and had missteps in handling the false positive. This led the user to be locked out for an extended period of time."

This didn't seem like a case of being "too slow" - the customer in question went through your review process (which was slow, yes), and the only response he got was "We have decided not to reactivate your account, have a nice day".

That just seems like a lack of interest in supporting your customers that are falsely flagged.
