🛠️ memes aside, I'm a software developer and I don't trust software-only systems with no fallback. Too many moving parts that can go wrong.

Yeah it's been a bit shit. Worked out I just can't sit at my desk for any length of time so have been using a standing desk for the last couple of days and it's really helping. Plus the exercises the physio gave me are good too. Hoping to ease back into the gym routine, I miss lifting weights.

I've been having a bit of a shit time with my back the last couple of weeks but it's finally coming right. Didn't realise how much of an effect it was having on my mood but I feel a lot better now 😄

As someone who started and still works in a co-op, it's because it's hard. Banks don't understand worker coops and won't lend money to you without a real person to attach the risk to, which means founders have to take an enormous risk which it can be hard to compensate them for. The legal structure isn't common so you are limited in the lawyers who can set one up for you. Others have mentioned the cost problems - I started a software dev coop so we didn't have a large capital outlay but it did cost nearly 10k just in setup costs.

It took a lot of work to get to where we are, with little supporting resources. In contrast, I started an LLC in half an hour and $150 registration fee to the government. So no, it not just "what people choose".

Our lawn has dried out a bit finally, could mow it at the weekend without sinking into it.

Haha you'd know about it if it was them. I had to look it up to make sure. The sap in mothweed is a real nasty irritant.

It was either that or a C++ programmer. Those template error messages are gnarly.

Man for a bit I thought you were eating the seed pods from moth weed vines. Yikes.

Come back to us comrade. I have over 6000 hours now and it's still great. I've been playing since TI2 though so it's only like 600hr per year average.

Yeah some kind of topside roast I reckon. Cuts are different in the USA so probably not what we have in my country.
