You should absolutely prioritize mobile (after fixing any egregious bugs). I like pool but would rather actually play (real pool) if I’m at home on my computer. When I’m out and about and have a minute or two to spare is exactly when this would come in handy.

From your point of view, does it say
nɘqO oT ʜƨυԳ
Or
Push To Open
?
I assumed (incorrectly, it seems) the former. Otherwise the side it’s written on is wholly irrelevant. Fooled me!
I do follow the recipes without overthinking them, because I don't have the skill required to make judgement calls. But also, I know that any time a recipe gives is highly suspect, so don't judge if something is done based on times in recipes.
So when a recipe says to "carmelize onions", that's what I do. To do anything else is to deviate from what the recipe is plainly telling me.
> Recipes have been vague and don't make sense out of context for millennia.
True. But the fact that this is true means it's essentially impossible to follow a recipe without some degree of interpretation.
I'm just irritated that there was a secret definition to "carmelize onions" that nobody clued me in to.
All of this is meaningless in the grand scheme of things. I'll get over this minor irritation. :)

Many words will have definitions you don’t know — sometimes literally the opposite of their “proper” definitions!
It’s not a secret, it’s just a thing you didn’t know yet. So don’t be too mad, now you know.

The real problem that author doesn’t call out is that at the end of the day, the people in charge don’t get hurt from these irresponsible boom and bust hiring practices. These companies knew the growth wouldn’t last, nothing lasts forever.
They all maintain control while the little people suffer. The dream is to become insulated from the economic storms like they are.
You are presupposing that boom and bust hiring is bad, and worse than a more steady state approach. If one assumes perfection is impossible, it seems you suggest erring on the side of perpetually under-hiring as opposed to ever over-hiring. Why is that better?
There are almost 300 comments in this post, I would say someone else cares :)
Ha! Fair point. I suppose I meant normal people that don’t comment on internet cooking rants like us :P
After looking at the recipes in question, I suspect that some of these writers are merely using the term Caramelized in a loose, informal (or, if you prefer, "technically-incorrect") sense.
When what they more-precisely meant is lightly softened, translucent - a state of onionhood used in no shortage of recipes as an intermediary step during the cooking process.
The writers are therefore perhaps guilty of casual syntax misuse, as opposed to deliberate or wilful mistruth.
This is so clearly true I wonder if the author intentionally “misunderstood” the situation so they could rant. Bonus points for commenters years later making the same “mistake”.
No, they don’t really mean caramelization. No, no one else cares.
Brutal honesty is just being an asshole. You can also be an asshole dishonestly. The part that makes you an asshole is the brutal bit.
