         | Sometimes I think the number of sites that "won't work" for
         | people using graphical browsers running arbitrary Javascript is
         | greater than the number of sites that "won't work" for people
         | using links. As a long-time links user, I would be willing to
         | bet this is accurate. The term "won't work" as used here means
         | unable to read the text content.

       | work correctly, but the article is cut off and unreadable.
       | Welcome to the web.

       | Does anyone find it odd that on the numerous places this article
       | has been posted on the internet, it says it is written by Ash
       | Bennington, but the author references "asking Ash Bennington to
       | look back on his years on Wall Street", then lists Ash
       | Bennington's accolades, along with an unsourced quote from one
       | John Carney? I am not trying to be snarky as the guidelines
       | entail, but there are a lot of things here that seem unusual, the
       | author seems to think a lot of himself

         | The first part is an introduction and the rest of the content
         | is from Bennington so that makes sense.

         | I'd generally agree with the advice but would add an advice
         | number zero: don't work in the financial sector. Unless you're
         | a psychopathic serial killer who wants to kill all your co-
         | workers, in which case you definitely should and if I'm ever on
         | your jury I'll find you innocent so you can remove more of
         | these pricks from the world.

         | I lived in London for a few years so I may be a bit biased.
