Many managers and owners are large children with poor emotional regulation.

I’m reminded of how old video game Dragon Age had Justice and Vengeance as two different manifestations of the same spirit.

I don’t think we’ll see justice in our life time. Not to make up for the evils enacted by Musk and those like him. But we might see him suffer and die in terror, and that would be a delight.

the worst thing you can do is execute Elon Musk

Doing nothing would be worse

The problem is you can say it’s mass murder. I can say it’s mass murder. Maybe a dozen of our friends can agree. But we need to take the next step. Get a bunch of people together, stop laboring, and demand Musk face justice.

Maybe I should write a short story about a small cell of activists who kidnap “Musk”, live stream a trial, and then execute him.

Every day I’m disappointed that Musk and friends continue to just walk around living free.

Cool. I’m so tired of management huffing their own farts about AI.

It’s comforting for people to imagine they’re not stupid and other people aren’t smart.

You could probably make it look like an accident. “I guess the LLM was having trouble reaching my account after I was deleted, so it posted everything to pastebin so I could see it there”

Still risky and a funnier fantasy than good idea.

We should unionize and eat the useless managers.

I started using bruno for lazy gui “make a request” needs.

But for anything serious python requests is right there, so I mostly used that for testing.

I prefer Fate’s system:

When you don’t like your roll, you can either reroll or take a flat bonus. Because Fate is a dice pool instead of flat-probability-1d20, if you do take the reroll to make up for an atrocious roll, you’re less likely to get another atrocious roll. Usually you just need the little bump to make a difference.

This is really quite “are we the baddies?”

I remember thinking it was cool when Doom loaded with R_Init: Init DOOM refresh daemon

People think “violence is never the answer” even when violence is being done to them. People are stupid.

I like to think in the future maga-hats will be fodder enemies in video games like Nazis. You can just kill them without remorse because they are scum.

Magas don’t care about facts or consistency. They just want their team to win. They’re like drug addicts , except instead of chilling in their room nodding off they’re dismantling society to chase the high of “OUR TRIBE WIN YOUR TRIBE DEAD”

Easier to link directly to the different sizes, probably, done like this, too

I use keyword arguments in Python to minimize this pain. Instead of

create_user("Bob", True, False)

it’s

create_user(name="Bob", admin=True, send_email=False)

JavaScript makes that more cumbersome with the object thing , but it’s better than nothing.

Yep. Place I’m at is in some sort of “hiring freeze”. They’re not replacing people who left. They also told the many (probably not strictly legal) contractors that they won’t be renewing them. It’s absurd.

I want to say that everyone hates that kind of purple job prose, but I suspect there’s some small minority of people who actually think and talk like that.

I kind of want to build a LinkedIn but you’re only allowed to talk like a real person. If you post slop or whatever that kind of shit is, you’re banned and we all pledge not to work with you.

Hahaha! They don’t write tests. They are unfamiliar with the concept of unit testing.

I had to explain to them the concept of “you import your function and call it with different arguments to make sure it returns what you expect”. It took a couple tries.

Meanwhile, the head of the “quality” team keeps telling me that I should stay in my lane and not tell the developers how to do their work.

Every conservative accusation is a confession
