Ideally you would work in a language you didn’t have these inane rules about semicolons

I wish I had the luxury of not working with JavaScript… but sadly it’s still the only game in town on the web.

Enslopification

The company I work for did this last year.

Unfortunately the tech industry can get away with this shit because the job market is a fucking nightmare and tech bros all think they’re too smart/skilled to need a union (neither of which is true).

The prophecy as foretold by the ORACLE

How would you feel if a giant straw man kicked you in the dick?

Why?

Just Cos.

…begin?

Grok’s logo is a black hole.

Emphasis on hole.

You’re right. I’m usually more careful about that. In fact I’ve even left comments just like yours in the past.

Just goes to show how hard the marketing engine is really working to paint these things in a certain (deceptive) way.

lmao, I bet they trained the stupid thing on recordings from massive call centers. It probably thinks that all the ‘background’ noise is just part of how humans communicate.

“This leash demeans us both”

Thought pollution

Jesus… more like sun scream, amirite?

Vegan for Everyone

Even before going vegan, America’s Test Kitchen was always my go-to when learning about a new dish/recipe. Their vegan cookbook is great.

financial motivation desperation

I worked in a traditional office environment for the full decade before the pandemic, and I was constantly being distracted by “undisciplined” people. There was always someone having a loud conversation in a quiet workspace or coming to my cubical to interrupt me with pointless bullshit.

Going full remote has finally isolated me from the lack of discipline in office environments.

But also people who can work remotely would always have situations where they’d prefer not to.

Hear hear.

I never really had any interest in “personal projects” until AI came along. Not because AI finally gave me the tools to work on those projects, but because it completely changed my perspective on the craft of writing code and made me appreciate the value in actually creating things by myself, for myself.

If you’re someone who cares at all about the quality and consistency of your craft, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with manually writing code.

If you’re a misanthropic “techno-feudalist” who thinks of code as nothing more than an asset to sell, then pumping out as much code as quickly as possible without any human intervention is a very attractive proposition.

Tech, sadly, is absolutely infested with these people at all levels.
