They don’t teach about Configuration Management in web-dev bootcamp
Ha! Bullshit like configuration management, memory management, optimizing compilers, all obsolete technology! We don’t need that anymore with modern web browsers now that every single computer ever is connected to the Internet, and now that we have AI to write code for us!!! JavaScript is the one true language!

Thanks for posting your transcript and putting in chapter markers, it is much easier for me to read than to listen to a 90-minute video.
And in this episode, I’m going to argue that replacing the word “equality” with the much more vague concept of “equity” is largely a way of taking ideas that promote economic inequality and disguising them in the language and style of social justice – and that it’s also a way of keeping people of all races, genders and ethnicities divided in conflict and competition with one another, so that we can’t pose an effective challenge to the people in power.
It is great that you have shone a light on this recent phenomenon in neoliberal politics, especially from the US Democratic party, of singing the praises of equity over equality, and showing how equity is just a bait-and-switch for right wing policies that focus on a narrow range of economic outcomes rather than the material conditions of peoples lives.
I might vote for Biden if he maintains any semblance of whatever little remains of “the rule of law” so that hopefully someone (perhaps in the UN) will press charges against him for aiding and abetting the genocide of the people of Gaza, along with the actual criminals committing crimes against humanity in the IDF. Without that, there is no rule of law and there is no justice in this world.
I also love the Green Day cover.
I hated that show so much, those fucking pop-ups were like water droplet torture, each one that dropped slowly eroded away your sanity.
But I understand the sentiment. Licensing issues are such bullshit, and it is because of things like this that media “piracy” is a moral imperative. It is funny how copyright was originally to protect workers so that artists could actually make a living doing what they did, and how the laws were eventually appropriated and became just another means of rent seeking by massive corporations.
Came here to say this. I once cut open a 9-volt battery and discovered it was really just 6 AAAA batteries wired in series.
