Found the PM/TPM. The best software was written without Agile and PMs/TPMs. It’s only after software becomes successful that the need is felt for that stuff.

The world runs on open source software and I don’t know of a single open source project that uses Agile or PMs/TPMs.

You underestimate the commonality of brutal dating scene, bad patenting, and loneliness. People are shelling out for those apps.

Who are the “fact checkers”?

Why are people upset at this? Who is stupid enough to trust fact checkers or community notes on social media? Read a real news site for facts.

I maintain open source software on a much smaller codebase that is less security critical. We have dozens of maintainers on a project with about 3k stars on GitHub. Stuff gets by that are potentially security vulnerabilities and we don’t know until upstream sources tell us there is a vulnerability

I’d still take scam comments over “who is still listening in 2024?!” For a super popular song that came out in 2023 or for a timeless classic like Michael Jackson’s thriller

This would be interesting considering people like Elon want to get rid of Section 230. He could be shooting himself in his left foot to prevent himself from shooting himself in his right foot.

Maybe we just need a very over-engineered terminal that insults your pitiful attempts at bash

But I already use Warp terminal?

I think they have to sue in French court, right? Couldn’t X just “Section 230” them to no end if they sue in America? Ironically, Trump wants to repeal 230 and claim Platforms are actually publishers, but I guess he wants to do that to silence his critics and no real concern for disinformation.

That’s really a question to ask your wife’s boyfriend

This is fake, everyone knows arch users are perma-virgins

“Sorry, honey, can’t make it to the birth of our child, trying to debug this arch install”

Interesting comment on the Mac. At my workplace we can choose between Mac or Windows (no Linux option unfortunately, my personal computer runs Debian). Pretty much all the principle and senior devs go for Mac, install vim, and live in the command line, and I do the same. All the windows people seem over reliant on VSCode, AI apps, and a bunch of other apps Unix people just have cli aliases for and vim shortcuts. I had to get a loaner laptop from work for a week and it was windows. Tried using powershell and installing some other CLI tools and after the first day just shut the laptop and didn’t work until I got back from travel and started using my Mac again.

I want to get rid of this shit so bad, of another junior dev submits a shit MR they can’t explain because they had chatGPT write it I’m going to explode. Also, the number of AI executives we have in charge of our manufacturing company is somehow more than we have in charge of manufacturing, and guess what?! They are all MBAs who haven’t written a god damn line of code in their life but have become professional “prompt engineers”.

I thought that was kind of funny. “Here is a talk about enshitification, click on this YouTube link!” One of the primary enshitifiers.

This is why I refuse to work in production code bases in python, it’s a nightmare of build systems, linters, package managers (dear god help the poor soul who accidentally pip’d from pypi and not your companies artifactory instance), formatters, convoluted ci pipelines that always seem to fail, a series of “senior” devs that will make you redo everything because you wrote your own map (we don’t use functional programming here meme) instead of a for loop (can’t use list comprehension for “code readability issues”). Got to the point of just saying fuck it, I’ll write it in Scala or rust, SBT and Cargo god tier.

I used to have to use a CI pipeline at work that had over 40 jobs and 8 stages for checking some sql syntax and formatting and also a custom python ETL library that utilized pandas and constantly got OOM errors.

They didn’t write any unit tests because “we can just do that in the CI pipeline” and if you didn’t constantly pull breaking changes into your branch you would guarantee the pipeline would fail, but if you were lucky you only had to restart 30% of your jobs.

It was the most awful thing and killed developer productivity to the point people were leaving the team because it sucks to spend 40% of your time waiting for CI scripts to fail while you are being yelled at to deliver faster.
