I now want a community led historical reenactment of loose tie wearing software devs in the 60s where they are just chain smoking and banging out COBOL or Fortran punch cards

Right. Given the option I will always choose to work with a decent programmer who can communicate well and documents their code, over a very strong programmer that doesn’t think they should waste time with documentation

As long as “cleaner than you found it” also includes “better documented.” I’ve worked with people who think that “the code should speak for itself” to the point that they will make biased decisions with no explanation or documentation and then if you ask them about it after their response is “look at the PR for how that decision was made.” I’m not going to git blame and find your PR to find an outcome from an argument between two people that after scrolling just says “sometimes the API returns a JSON string here instead of nested JSON so we have this conditional” when that could be a comment

No no you don’t understand. Every children’s story is about beating your competition in the market and how regulation doesn’t actually support competition because it’s on you to analyze and prepare for market forces. Also my billion dollar vehicle company is failing because I didn’t properly prepare, I’m gonna need a major government bailout

Well with infinite access to resources the pigs should have been stockpiling and starting to build businesses in the expectation that they would have needed to protect their property and could have hired a bigger, badder wolf at an acceptable market rate to ensure a minimal loss

Indeed

Yeah my second spot if a status page is green is always https://downdetector.com/ since it’s user generated

When I’m off the clock I don’t see work emails or messages. My boss still has my cell number though. This card doesn’t at all say someone is checking their email, just says there is a critical production bug and someone was emailed about it

Your first comment was how logically this was an incorrect action that wouldn’t, in fact, land the employee a job. We all get that, that’s why it’s a joke

I have a feeling this post is a joke

True, I guess my experience was moreso “we can legally sell out whenever.”

For a long time I used mediatemple for their affordability, flexibility, and scalability

Then they were acquired by godaddy

Then I used webfaction, for the same reasons. They too were acquired by godaddy

Many of the devs from web faction built opalstack, which I love

But I definitely won’t expect their terms to remain the same forever

and you can expect the terms to stay the same forever

Bit of a reach, but I agree with your other points

The CIA hates this one weird trick!

That’s what I love about the game. It took them awhile to get there, but kamikaze ninja? Fun build. Pure netrunner? Fun build. Armored ballistic assault? Fun build. Hybrid between any of the builds? Also fun. The combat feels great no matter which route you take

I feel like that’s what a netrunner build in CP2077 is. Sure, it’s not psi ops, but it’s basically magic brain spell attacks

Absolutely agreed. The system is broken, you’ve summarized it well.

My intention wasn’t to dismiss your argument. I think having to experience advertising in each corner of existence is the farthest dystopian we’ve come. I moreso meant that the entire system is broken, perhaps humanity is. I feel like today if I pick a group of 10 random people, 9 of them would be willing to step on their fellow humans if it meant they could get ahead. And that seems to be the cornerstone of not only capitalism, but the hyper-capitalism we see today. We’ve really reached a peak of “fuck everyone else I’ll get my own” and I hate it. So I mean that to a franchise owner struggling against a multinational trillion dollar fuel conglomerate, yes it’s a no brainer. They take the pittances just as they fuck over their employees who also take the pittances, it’s shit all the way down
