Saying we’re trying out a new process every sprint while doing the same thing we always have

I create tech demos to trick venture capitalists into paying my boss to keep this farce going

If you think that’s bad don’t look at the auto industry. Everything is propped up by duct tape and regulations. But mostly regulations.

Everywhere I’ve worked has been the last 4 combined.

For some reason if you put that sound at the beginning of a word most English speakers can’t say it.

I’m waiting for skyrim and oblivion to be remade in OpenMW

Not the journey to the west he had hoped for

I thought Battlefield Earth had a cool concept when I was like 13. I watched it again a few years ago and it’s hilariously bad. 90% of the movie is Dutch angles

I’m just using a self hosted git repo with markdown files. I was having trouble finding something open source that I could edit with vim that also had a good mobile solution. I also didn’t want to get locked into a file format that was specific to an app.

Markdown is ubiquitous and I use git all the time as a developer so it was easier to tack something onto an existing workflow. It’s a little janky but at least I won’t be screwed by devs abandoning whatever app I was using.

Listen to this wisdom. I used to be a heart and soul person and it burned me out real bad. I left a smaller startup at a point where I was handling several projects at the same time and I felt guilty about dumping all of it on my coworkers. I thought I was vital to the company but I was quickly forgotten and replaced. I don’t know why I ever cared so much. It was software I’d never use in my own life and it wasn’t important to the people who did.

Save the passion for your personal projects and try to find something low stress to pay the bills

In Soviet Russia memory manages you!

Her friends don’t appreciate semantic drift. She’s innovating the language.

I think I got “cunT” once and gave myself a heart attack because I thought I had accidentally committed a frustrated debugging log message to a work repo. I found it while searching for swears but it was in a file I hadn’t changed

This is true but coal mining is just as bad and requires orders of magnitude (mineral fuels) more excavation than all of the other minerals combined. If we can stop mining coal by using renewables the total amount of mining will be a fraction of what it currently is. Plus many of the other minerals can be reused where coal just ends up as carbon in the atmosphere.

That serenity is why I enjoy running Arch with basically nothing on it. My OS doesn’t do shit and I love it

I didn’t know about this. Thank you for the knowledge fellow human!

I got a media failed to load error at first and thought that was the joke

At least most of us don’t need to worry about time dilation caused by relatively yet. Have fun with that, space faring developers.

Not German enough, needs more unnecessary capital letters

It’s from one of them Laconian magnetar-class battleships
