People make money on it. People don’t care enough to organize around shopping it.

This is the best answer.

The receptionist really doesn’t care. You’re one of dozens of people they see every day. They’re not going to remember or care if you ask for help.

Do you think they’re intentionally trying to weaken the US, or just stupid?

The legislation seeks to amend existing immigration law to bar entry and naturalization, as well as create new grounds for deportation for anyone linked to what it describes as “totalitarian” parties, both foreign and domestic.

Trumpism is pretty “totalitarian”. I wouldn’t be that upset if all the magas got removed from power, and the irony of their own law being used to do it would be delicious.

That humor aside, this is a terrible idea that should be grounds for Roy’s immediate removal from office.

Conservatives don’t care about being correct or consistent. They say things for effect. They follow their feelings. Something inside them is broken and ruined. They project constantly onto others, because introspection would shatter their flimsy ego.

Parents raised their own alarms, with several pointing to the political division Kirk’s presence would inevitably import onto campus

Peeve: it’s not the division that’s the problem. It’s the hate and lies.

There’s also the class of comments that explain strange business decisions.

# Product guy said to return January 1st if the user doesn't have a birthday on record

Kind of arbitrary but someone with decision making power decreed it.

Furthermore, if you are being paid the same but your productivity goes up, and the owner keeps all the new profits, you’re being robbed.

People don’t understand things but that doesn’t stop them feeling ways about it.

Also the US tax system seems complicated and error prone.

I don’t think it matters. It’s like sports. They might have a particular manager or player but they still love the team.

if he does, that’s pretty much ww3

So I don’t want to like die in nuclear fire but if a foreign power toppled the US government and tried+convicted all the Republicans of crimes against humanity, that doesn’t sound so bad.

I want job postings and a way to reach people I worked with.

I absolutely do not want the click bait and slop.

Cars ruin everything. The primacy of cars is upstream from a surprising amount of problems with modern life.

I’ve known several people who moved from QA and testing to developer roles, but usually as an internal transfer.

Most recruiters and management don’t know shit about fuck when it comes to technical details, so it’s not surprising a lot of them think “Oh the guy who knows how software works and how to handle edge cases? No, we don’t want him”

prohibits gatherings of more than 20 people on open land where the music played consists wholly or predominantly of “a succession of repetitive beats”

This is a monstrous law and everyone involved in its passage should be barred from politics and positions with decision making power.

Fuck test automation, it’s a fucking trap get out of it as soon as you can

lol.

Meanwhile, the org I work at has no test automation, so things that should be trivial require hours of tedious, error-prone, manual testing. Also they break stuff and don’t find out until after it’s merged.

I have no regrets from setting my editor to save-on-blur

They chose to go into this business. If they can’t do the job in a way customers like while making a profit and paying fair amounts for labor, fuck em don’t do the business.

I feel like most of the time saved is by skipping the part where you learn stuff. Like, the AI fills out how you do a left join with this ORM library. Cool. Now I don’t know how to do that.

You know how a lot of managers are annoying and don’t know anything about how shit works? That’s down the road using LLMs like this.

Guy at work did a whole mini project with just LLMs and prompting. I asked him some questions about how it works and some implementation details, and he had no idea. Great. I’m going to have to maintain this thing, probably.
