Unfortunately it is in human nature to compare oneself to other people, and becoming big in other people’s eyes is easiest when other people around you are already smaller than you.

This becomes truly predatory when you become the person deciding on other’s situation.

Do you know a single business where an employee makes more money than his boss? Because I sure know lots of businesses where employees posses much more knowledge or skill than their supervisor, yet none of them surpass them in earnings.

Russia has never been interested in ruling Ukraine.

You’re either an ignorant fool or a malicious piece of dung.

This is an authentic message for when you open a php project

It may not be the fastest solution, or the most reliable, or the most maintainable, but it certainly would best accommodate our investors’ needs!

Been there, done that. Everyday would start with a 2 hour session of meetings. Daily for 30mins and then 1.5h of refinement. Day by day, for 2 years of me being there.

It, without an ounce of irony, leaves a fucking scar on you and makes you despise having meeting for the rest of your life.

Because it doesn’t seem like a useful feature. The only occasion I imagine this could be helpful is with logging to the console to track when the function breaks, but even then - still trivial to replace.

Very good, I’m happy to see you’re learning new stuff!

Linux is so bad it’s worse than everything else even when others are enshittifying aggressively? Got it!

I had tried to use debugger with React so many times and each time I’d drop it soon after. Not useful at all.

Does much better job on the backend though

Ah yes, as always, the ever-knowing magical AI. Because all the secrets of the universe can be aggregated using just few multiline prompts to the ChatGPT.

Good, OOP can suck my balls

To me, there are two classifications of DRY - one I find harmful, the other very useful.

First one resembles mathematical extractions, essentially you never allow a single chunk of code to be written twice and you create massive amounts of global util junk. This also creates some bad tight coupling.

The other is more logical, where you only extract logic in places you want to always change together. Simple and effective.

Thank you for being probably the only person who actually read my comment and understood it

When you’re not radically anti-Musk to an extent of absurdity, people just assume that you must be his sympathizer

I wholeheartedly despise this guy and I have much more valid reasons to.

dis 'bout you?

Elon Musk loves to have friends in high places — until those friends happen to be embroiled in widespread sex crime scandals

Ah yes, dumping people for them doing vile stuff, how very intolerable

That’s your opinion my man

I’m not gonna continue using arguments if all you can respond with is cynicism, apparently I wasn’t wrong about the elitism part

That I do, yes, because that’s a small chunk of code that - when necessary - would have to be completely remade anyways, not just modified.

And then a few more any time you actually want to use it.

And then double it each time you have to decipher the existing one

Just don’t use regex unless there is really no other way, and when you absolutely have to - frankly, that’s one of the ultra rare occasions I recommend using the AI.

Ah yes, spoken like a true elitist asshole
