  • But the answer to finding yourself being load-bearing is not to start using AI code with AI tests.

    The Great Man theory of open source development, where it all hinges on one heroic individual, has always been a fatal weakness. It happens because the companies benefiting from the software just will not pay the individual guys who let their company work. So the companies try to make the guys feel obligated to do work for them for free.

    Those guys have to start saying “no.” Go sailing. Declare the project closed and see if the beneficiaries will finally contribute. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. But no company will put in the developers or money for this stuff to be done until you say “no”.

    You heard it from the Ray-Guns first, but apparently you need to hear it again: “Just say no!”



  • I assume it goes both ways - i.e. there are other countries who laugh at some American names due to how they sound in their local language. It’s just human nature - whether it’s just for the humor, or to ridicule & act condescending will depend upon the individuals involved.


  • The most telling thing about this account is the reaction: pretty much everyone knows it actually happens, and doesn’t contest it. Meanwhile, if a male claimed the same the immediate reaction would be intense skepticism - not because it can’t happen, but because it’s just nowhere near as much a common, daily occurrence as it is the other way around.

    EDIT: uhg, sorry - having come from the “all” feed, I replied to this post without looking at the community name. I’m admittedly male, so if you want to remove my comment I understand. Sorry for the accidental intrusion.

    He wasn’t - he was deliberately saying something attention-grabbing so people would realize how unhealthy the typical restaurant fries are made. He knows a serving of six fries is unrealistic.

    Of course, people are too closed-minded and insecure to be that honest with themselves about the facts they don’t want to hear — preferring instead to attack and ridicule others so they can overcompensate for their well-buried guilt over wanting to eat something they deep down know is very bad for them.
