The point is that people with mortgages are still trapped into thinking “I can’t afford to take risks with my job, or I’ll end up homeless”. The popularisation of mortgages is relatively new, and a deliberate way to keep the workforce in check.

Same with mortgages

Tom Scott has a video on it

Keep an accurate work diary, something high enough detail that you can look back on in several months and know what you were doing at what time on what day. Something you can then use to answer the question “Exactly, how many time this month were you asked to do X”, and the answer be precise.

Sounds like you might be being asked to do things you haven’t had training for, and don’t have the certificates for. In which case this becomes a legal liability issue, and something they can’t ignore, and can’t fire you for.

Also, be careful of the difference between “I have been asked by a manager to do this” and “noone else was doing it so I felt I had to”. If you’re speaking to patients about their medical issues without training or being specifically asked to, you could be getting yourself into trouble too.

The diary thing is useful for everyone in every job really. In your annual review (or quarterly, whatever) it’s incredibly useful to provide facts and figures for what you’ve been spending time doing. Particularly if you’ve got a manager who wants to downplay your efforts, or if you’re asking for pay rises/ bumps up to higher grades.

If your whole ecosystem is in azure, it kind of works. Similar to gsuite

Odd, on the Connect app it shows a bunch of spaces, but not 10k of them.

Ideas like this are exactly why the UK left though. Noone wants to be forced into something the don’t want to do, particularly wars.

People don’t wanna hear that around here. But I agree, with the right instructions it’s better than a junior Dev. Loads faster, and mistakes can be fixed faster, and if you update the prompts then it learns better from mistakes too.

It might be a config thing, but pretty often these scans will find issues which are only relevant on e.g. windows, when building a Linux container. Or the issue is in some XML parsing library in the base OS but the service never receives XML and isn’t public facing anyway. Context matters.

Back in the old days there was no rollback option either. Kids have it too easy now.

No. Which means it’s only for a few minutes, some mornings. Until I wake up.

UK is hereditary without being patrilineal nowadays

Feels like they missed an opportunity there

Strongly reconsidering respecing my career into this. But there’s a risk it’ll just become “some junior with Dunning Kruger vibe coded this shite, now you have to fix it”

Teenagers get horny. It’s not deep. Humans being horny existed long before the internet

All of that existed long before the internet. In fact it was probably worse pre-internet. So the sites could be entirely unrelated.

What’s second-hand porn watching? This metaphor doesn’t really work.

I was a teenager and the option of not watching it would never have occurred to me. The idea that people accidentally stumble across it and then get hooked is laughable.

And I don’t mean adult media uploaded to sites which serve other media, I mean bespoke adult sites. You don’t end up there by accident. Anyone who goes there and sees the splash screen will just open another tab and go somewhere less restrictive.
