The amount of times I've logged off work with a coding problem only to stew on it for 4 hrs including when I'm laying in bed. I'm not billing work for any minute of that nor would I be able to if I tried. Game is fucking rigged in favour of the employer.

Interesting perspective I never accounted before thank you. Cabs were notorious for not picking up black people. Can't speak for hotels.

The other angle is the majority of Devs are just... Not good...

A good Dev in the situation you mention will design the solution needed now not the one you hope for later.

I'm saying this as someone who has been mired in scope creep and over engineering solutions many times in my life because "what if 5000 people need to use it at once?!"

In most cases all you need is a database, a single thread and a simple API. Build it and then as the problems come grow with them. Try to take into account issues of scale but realize you can't and shouldn't solve every scenario because there are too many variables which may never exist.

That's how you know that no one important is invested in finding a solution.

Women of America. Get a freezer. Freeze your eggs and transport them home. On all future taxes claim them as dependents in perpetuity. Fuck these asshats. Game the system and make bank!

Same I find the engagement is raising. The threads here are more sincere. Sure it's not as active when it comes to some things but that's fine IMHO. Building an online community right takes time.

Fun experiment. Look at labels when shopping and make note of standard fillers like "cellulose".

I'm left on the political spectrum but by and large y'all fuckers are over the deep end.

I've seen people spouting this off a few times just today in respects to mastodon "is just as easy as email. People need to stop making excuses and use the alternatives". A few counter points.

  • the vast majority of people are computer illiterate
  • email is not "easy" to a lot of people in the same way twitter/ig/etc are
  • Those evalgelizing "it's just like email dude" are probably more tech savvy (they're here after all)
  • email may be easy but it's garbage and a 20th century solution and we are in the 21st century now
  • Not everyone has the same level of patience to understand all this federated nonsense

We (royal we) need to drop the "it's easy just learn it bro" nonsense. It's not the same. It's not like email. There's a reason it's not mass adopted yet and a lot of that is the complexity compared to the current products.

Why is my post here and not a reply? Because apparently replying to someone was giving me "Error: language_not_allowed" whatever that's supposed to mean lol
