It's all too easy to dismiss valid concerns as it's just the boomers/somethings complaining about "back in my day" and everyone getting on their lawn. Software definitely improved for many decades, then at some poin

Bankruptcy is such an alien concept. Adults took out consensual loans from another adult and now they get to just say oops "take backsies"? It's one thing if you're in a crazy desperate situation and someone takes advant

It's human nature scaled up. Just isolate and zoom in on any single injustice or "how the sausage is made" scenario that you are privy to in your industry. Just a random water-cooler discussion about agreeing to a certain tec

The additional problem to this is that they guided the industry and their own platforms to actively generate that much content. No effort was made to naturally or organically slow the creation or even perform any sort of de-duplication. So

It's unfortunate that they are being repurposed to fix a problem entirely generated purposefully for political gain. Those individuals should never have been allowed to flood the system and take effort away from true egregious victims

It's basically "VS Code" UX with dark mode. Come on, is this some sort of joke? Serious question.

People subscribe so they can "get more" of a channel in their feed. As if that does that much . It's not self-inflicted, it's purposefully done this way to take control and power away from users.

But you could say the same thing the other way, that's the point. I.e. you're not listening to what Republicans are actually saying but rather what "Democrats" are saying the republicans are saying. Even your response is

I don't think we conceptually live in the same universe if you think those things about the democratic 2024 messaging. I just don't understand how you and your opposing commenters can have any meaningful discussion if you're

Yet again poor communal behavior ruining it for the rest of society, and why we can't have nice things and colonize the stars.

Twitter was a dumpster fire of hateful leftist echo chamber activism. X is much better and way more balanced.

That sort of thinking needs to first and almost-entirely be directed at China, India and Africa, then we can talk about sustainability and what the West can do.

Have you been in the same industry as the rest of us? 90% of all developers out there in the wild create "legacy code very quickly" anyways, they too create "slop" before we coined the term "AI slop". This myth

I'm a "backend" dev, so you could say that I am very very unfamiliar, have mostly-basic and high-level knowledge of frontend development. Getting this thing to spit out screens and components and adjust them as I see fit has

This "anti-fascism" talk sounds all nice and noble. But we all know that actual left-wing extremists have taken over the term now and most members are terrorist-adjacent. The irony is that antifa and other such "anti-fascists

If you think these things are just using a "dumb" search query, and using the top 5 hits, you're in for a lot of surprises very soon.

I would imagine because women are under-represented in this field, so naturally we have to weight gender over qualifications. It's just the way things are. I wish it wasn't and qualifications/ability played a 100% part in the

We're nearly-there. The humans then become the capital/resource to be acquired, not money. That's why every country is somehow chasing that elusive "population growth". It creates more "things" to own, w

Judging by what I've been seeing in the field in the last half-decade, this doesn't surprise me one bit. Zero forward thinking and comprehensive analysis of features before they are built, with tickets just being churned out by in

This seems similar to the Notepad++ team using their platform to promote political viewpoints. The same thing happened with Facebook "pages", when they became a personal "soap box" by the owner of the page. It was downhi
