America has been strategically sitting on a couch eating strategic cheeseburgers for the past 50 years

Saying we’re trying out a new process every sprint while doing the same thing we always have

I create tech demos to trick venture capitalists into paying my boss to keep this farce going

If you think that’s bad don’t look at the auto industry. Everything is propped up by duct tape and regulations. But mostly regulations.

Straight? How vanilla

Everywhere I’ve worked has been the last 4 combined.

For some reason if you put that sound at the beginning of a word most English speakers can’t say it.

I’m waiting for skyrim and oblivion to be remade in OpenMW

Is it one of those internet “facts” like the eating spiders in your sleep one?

Many technologies lived and died based on what the gooners chose, e.g. VHS vs betamax. I welcome them

The compiler grows on you after a bit and generally if you’re fighting it, it’s trying to prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot. I’ve heard it depends on what languages you’re coming from. Most of my experience is with higher level languages like JavaScript so the issues I ran into while learning rust were opportunities to get a deeper understanding of computers in general.

I could see that being frustrating if you’re coming from C/C++ and just want the dang thing to do what you already know how to do.

Not the journey to the west he had hoped for

I’m just using a self hosted git repo with markdown files. I was having trouble finding something open source that I could edit with vim that also had a good mobile solution. I also didn’t want to get locked into a file format that was specific to an app.

Markdown is ubiquitous and I use git all the time as a developer so it was easier to tack something onto an existing workflow. It’s a little janky but at least I won’t be screwed by devs abandoning whatever app I was using.

Listen to this wisdom. I used to be a heart and soul person and it burned me out real bad. I left a smaller startup at a point where I was handling several projects at the same time and I felt guilty about dumping all of it on my coworkers. I thought I was vital to the company but I was quickly forgotten and replaced. I don’t know why I ever cared so much. It was software I’d never use in my own life and it wasn’t important to the people who did.

Save the passion for your personal projects and try to find something low stress to pay the bills

I think I got “cunT” once and gave myself a heart attack because I thought I had accidentally committed a frustrated debugging log message to a work repo. I found it while searching for swears but it was in a file I hadn’t changed

I tried it out because of the memes and stuck with it because there wasn’t a bunch of extra stuff I don’t need distracting me. I kinda forget I’m using arch btw

This is true but coal mining is just as bad and requires orders of magnitude (mineral fuels) more excavation than all of the other minerals combined. If we can stop mining coal by using renewables the total amount of mining will be a fraction of what it currently is. Plus many of the other minerals can be reused where coal just ends up as carbon in the atmosphere.

That serenity is why I enjoy running Arch with basically nothing on it. My OS doesn’t do shit and I love it
