Draino is NOT for clearing airways!

Open source is only as useful as the contributors and reviewers. Finding things after the fact helps noone.

People need to stop revering open source as the solution to humanity's problems and treat it as a useful tool, nothing more.

Bleeding hearts rarely do their cause justice (referring to the person you replied to)

I watched a 4 hour movie made from MK1 cut scenes the other day without even realizing how long it was.

Meh. Seven can come strong on me any day. Yes I would like to copulate.

And yet CEOs are convinced otherwise.

Many CEOs are little more than MBAs in fancy suits. And let me tell you, an MBA is often more an indicator of incompetence than otherwise.

The truly sociopathic ones fake their way to the top. It's all smoke and mirrors. Go ask Jim Farley.

My last raise was 10k. But that was after 7+ years of no raises (agency work, slow times). When COVID hit, our business picked up for 2 years straight and I finally convinced them it was stable enough to commit. We're a small company and they'd rather give out bonuses or assistance with personal expenses than commit to an annual salary increase (which I get), but COL has spiked in recent times, so the raise was well past due.

Not to mention refactoring support...

There seems to be a trend of new (old) developers who find that strong typing is nothing more than a nuisance.

History repeating itself in the IT world. I don't wanna be around to support the systems that inherit these guys.

Rider is awesome - totally understated even if JetBrains does have a big fan base. If you'll notice, most non-MS video bloggers use it, and for good reason.

Much like screaming FIRE!! in a crowded venue, there has to be a limit on free speech, and that limit is typically when it causes harm to other people

He says, typing from a computer for which the underlying concepts were formulated long before he was born and are only now coming to fruition long after the inventors have passed.

Science and technology are never driven by an "only if I see the benefit" mentality. Progress is a gift to all mankind.
