My buddy was working in a well-known purveyor of fruit-named products. His boss and entire team was canned around him and he was a team of one reporting to his former skip.

That didn't last long. A few months of Herculean effort wasn't enough to keep ahead of the arbitrary workload and he was done too.

refactor later

And you know they mean "rewrite" because they haven't nailed down a spec by hack time.

This is why experienced (software) engineers are different from coders: they'll balk at the waste if their job isn't at stake. (If it is, you talk to your skip, right?)

ourobouros of bullshit

This is where I spat out my coffee.

Am union. Can confirm better work-life balance, way more off time (47days) during which no one reaches out without justification, and no wildcat layoffs.

Pay is 15% low but the pension plan is kickass. And isn't that what you want?

Our union contract says 100% remote. I hope that continues to be a valuable goal as contracts come up for renewal in 4 more years. Since our hiring has been primarily across the country for retiree replacement (no one quits, just retires), I'm confident in its continued enshrinement.

Explain the exempting of a trans flag. What relevance is that?

costed

Particples are hard.

My Fold 4 cracked...

Yeah. Ya think?

Really, I'm amazed when the folding-screen phones don't crack; it's like they've broken a fundamental law or something by continuing to exist intact.

Do people believe she's a land assayer?

What's the speed and severity of kneejerk response the conservatives say is proper here?

Never. It's fundamentally flawed.

Good.

The 737max is a terrible airplane.

I hope they wise up before it kills the company and we have to fly on something else.

So anyway...

The theme to The Littlest Hobo.

I had it for like three months.

Every grammarly as that has the English mistake in it.

So, all of them.

Solaris is actually kinda cool now. It was based on a great OS and actually has been improved since.

We can't do much about who owns it, but I'm glad to see someone's looking after it -- unlike when IBM found the loophole and reverted AT&T Unix ownership back to novell to just rot. Good job.

I have that one on my shelf right now. Mine's the k&r version.

My phone has a sim card meant for a tablet. It has no number that works. No calls, no SMS.

Just apps. Maps, chat, passwd/otp, and similar stuff. I finally got my mom trained to use Skype or messenger l, and Skype-in only in emergencies where she sees flames.

The fact that no one calls me is fantastic.

Volunteer your time, but do it with your eyes open.

If you're okay with how it's going to end up, it's all good.

If you have nothing to hide

... then you don't get it.

When hillbillies are breaking into homes and killing government reps' familes, something is wrong.

The fact that Republicans have weaponized this particular brand of stupid is immaterial aside from the conspiracy charges.

There is a shortfall here that will create a chilling effect for potential lawmakers to stand up to y'all Qaeda .

somebody could make that in Unity in a week

Except unity is dead. It died by terminal enshittification.

"Not dead," you say? Yet, I say.

.. and in record time, too!

forced to live at home into their 30s. Is Gen A

Rent. Gen A will rent at home. That's how the parents will finally clear the home; through rent.
