Dozens of jobs were slashed at HuffPost that day, following a round of layoffs at Gannett Media; further jobs were about to be disappeared at BuzzFeed. It was a grim day for the media, and I just wanted to channel my tiny part of the prevailing gloom.
Then the responses started rolling in—some sympathy from fellow journalists and readers, then an irritating gush of near-identical responses: “Learn to code.” “Maybe learn to code?” “BETTER LEARN TO CODE THEN.” “Learn to code you useless bitch.” Alongside these tweets were others: “Stop writing fake news and crap.” “MAGA.” “Your opinions suck and no one wants to read them.” “Lmao journalists are evil wicked cretins.

Payback, mofos...eat it.
Talia, learn to dig ditches or clean toilets! Just a helpful suggestion. ;-)
I never seemed to pick up the ability to code.

Dear Talia; Triggered Much?

I loved coding in COBOL, Lotus 1-2-3 for VAX-VMS, and Visual Basic for Applications.
I did so much Lotus that, after a while, I started thinking in code. It’s addictive.
Liddle snowflakes can dish it out but can’t take it. Boo hoo.
Yeah, you got me wondering now.
Correction: my code attempts never quite worked.
Kind of tired. Did useful stuff today.
learn to dig.... as in coal
I barely use Word or Excel anymore.

I stopped at VBA. Haven’t needed anything it could do for twenty years. Too bad.
