Or exposure.

This has a Freddy vs Jason kinda vibe. Asshole fighting assholes, sorta thing. Love it.

New presidential couches?!

Because life is suffering.

Only Outlook drives more insane : the fucking looking up of every single fucking email in the address textbox, just so it can put some fucking status badge or some other dynamic shit I don’t care about. It’s atrocious. And it’s so well done it does it for every address every time you add an address. It’s so slow I will literally write addresses in notepad so I can just paste them all in one go and endure that lookup only once.

What a bloated monstrosity >:C

Many things are better than Teams. So many things…

Ye gods I lived exactly through this. We had Mattermost installed on test server and it was like night and day with Teams. But as you say, the bean counters don’t care if you’re happy. “We already got Mattermost at home!” they said. And so Mattermost was abandoned for Teams which is indeed already present in the ecosystem and isn’t going away any time soon. Like herpes.

If you tested whether those files had healthy seeds on the Net, that would actually be a pretty cool idea. But I have some rather rare Linux ISOs that definitely don’t get seeded anymore so those I would want to not lose and actually backup.

Yeah, apparently Netflix knows my wife. Shame she only consumes Chinese media, all day, erryday.

Oh I remember years ago my project manager worried I was not at my desk typing and I had to explain to him that my brain was constantly thinking about the code. Even while on breaks, even at night, 24/7 essentially. It took time to convince him but thankfully my senior knew I wasnt bullshit ting because he was seeing my code. I did burn out after two years, obviously.

Sure, but I’ve a guy working with me who’s supposed to have ten years xp in the tech we use, and he’s pretty fucking useless.
Meanwhile the young front-end dev who didn’t know any of our tech turns out to learn everything we throw at her after one explanation. Pure tech eval would’ve meant throwing her away after reading her cv.

Telling me your blood type or astrological signs is as useful as telling me your certifications and years of experience, these days.

It’s funny to read the reactions and the people not understanding that programming questions are not enough to judge you. We need people with functioning brains and that usually means problem solving skills. And sometimes the problems are fucking idiotic! Nobody cares about the light switches. We want to see how you think. We want people who don’t give up if they can’t look it up.

You think you’re hot shit because you learnt the latest trendy language? I’ve wasted entire days with people like that because they couldn’t be fucking arsed reading error messages and figuring things out by themselves.

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself.

That’s certainly one way to phrase it, comrade.

I write in Notepad++ then copy paste to WSL.

Same in France with “neuve”, also “franche” which indicated a special tax exempt status.
So those usually have something to distinguish them from the others.
Like a river they are sat on or some mountain nearby. One of my favourite such name is Laneuveville-devant-Nancy : TheNewTown-Infrontof-Nancy (Nancy being a bigger city nearby). It has a strong named-by-modern-programmers energy…

You just helped me so fucking much with this! I’m writing a lecture on exactly this and my own personal experience is alright, but this is even better. Thank you!

Haven’t used anything but Notepad++ in years.

Hey! That’s how Starship Troopers started!
