Just know a human developer and remember they’re all humans

👋 let’s do friendship. Ask me about my mundane American life. I’ll go first. Are nutritional supplements popular?

Majority of enterprise tech workers everywhere*

That’s why I hate myself enough to do early stage, where you can be a human

Some might call it a… what’s that word? Responsibility?

Like that whole neighbor and community upstanding injustice and leveraging their privilege for the have nots thing that has defined modern human society up until Cambridge Analytica?

I have agreed for the longest time. But a couple of friends in intelligence are really trying to convince me this is a distraction lately. I haven’t gotten a good answer to why status quo should be allowed but those guys don’t ever consider “how end users are” when we get into it.

A) then look it up; concept or vocabulary, doesn’t matter, Google it before saying it’s whataboutism. The point was salient.

B) self preservation is rational.

C) parasites kill to survive in nature.

D) something sucking for an observer, doesn’t make the observed’s rationale illogical.

I know their longest tenured employee. Ran into them after 20 yrs… Different human. Nothing behind her eyes.

Others that have been there from 5 to 15 yrs…

Boiled frogs at different stages. (Yes, I know the science is debunked for literal frogs.)

What I don’t know, living in SV, is a single human that’s started a new job with them in the last… 5? 10? yrs… at this point it’s all younger people who only know a world with Meta. And this is all normal to them.

Speaking of forgetting what’s perfectly normal… the days before uniting the citizens…

Obama capped money for his inauguration at $50,000 per person - still, more than 10 times what individuals could give to his campaign.

Didn’t we do that? Now my kid is bringing home a different strain every other day

You still feel like we should lay off?

Lmao I feel you but you never know what the other person’s day is like. We order from them while coming on here and cheering for their fair wages. We gotta have empathy that their lives suck in the micro, if we can see the socioeconomic component in the macro.

(Also, do it after your next order if you really want to withhold)

I’ve angrily thought “I want my ten dollar fucking tip back from this piece of shit” than shutup, ate my cold or incorrect meal, thought over it without being hangry and realized the evening is still worse for them.

Done. Two seconds. 2/3 hrs pay to them. Do it you assholes.

Steam Workshop 😭

Music then. Internet today.

Yeah, there’s rarely new tech most people care about, just consumer product updates.

I work almost exclusively with early stage companies with major innovation and patents. APIs, InfoSec, etc aren’t sexy enough to make these communities.

Good old database arms

Max was a really kind dude when we were kids

Repo

Anyone else read PC magazines about Windows 95 on the school bus every day? In anticipation? Normal kid stuff… right?

Especially with 7 in the air!
