I consider The Register to be the gold standard in tech journalism. When asked how I keep up with evolving tech, I told the interview panel that any tech news they see on mainstream media was likely broken by The Register 3 days previous, with original sources and quotes from top corporate officers.
Also told them I had followed several tech subs on reddit in the past, but as the site has devolved into bots talking to one another, I’ve turned to lemmy for tech community interaction and advice.
(No, I’m not using lemmy for that so much, but if I land the network admin job I will!)
I do much the same in my head.
Know what’s crazy? We sling bags of mulch, dirt and rocks onto customer vehicles every day. No one, neither coworkers nor customers, will do simple multiplication. Only the most advanced workers do it. No lie.
Customer wants 30 bags of mulch. I look at the given space:
“Let’s do 6 stacks of 5.”
Everyone proceeds to sling shit around in random piles and count as we go. And then someone loses track and has to shift shit around to check the count.
