Saying we’re trying out a new process every sprint while doing the same thing we always have

I create tech demos to trick venture capitalists into paying my boss to keep this farce going

If you think that’s bad don’t look at the auto industry. Everything is propped up by duct tape and regulations. But mostly regulations.

Straight? How vanilla

Everywhere I’ve worked has been the last 4 combined.

For some reason if you put that sound at the beginning of a word most English speakers can’t say it.

Is it one of those internet “facts” like the eating spiders in your sleep one?

Many technologies lived and died based on what the gooners chose, e.g. VHS vs betamax. I welcome them

I’m just using a self hosted git repo with markdown files. I was having trouble finding something open source that I could edit with vim that also had a good mobile solution. I also didn’t want to get locked into a file format that was specific to an app.

Markdown is ubiquitous and I use git all the time as a developer so it was easier to tack something onto an existing workflow. It’s a little janky but at least I won’t be screwed by devs abandoning whatever app I was using.

Listen to this wisdom. I used to be a heart and soul person and it burned me out real bad. I left a smaller startup at a point where I was handling several projects at the same time and I felt guilty about dumping all of it on my coworkers. I thought I was vital to the company but I was quickly forgotten and replaced. I don’t know why I ever cared so much. It was software I’d never use in my own life and it wasn’t important to the people who did.

Save the passion for your personal projects and try to find something low stress to pay the bills

In Soviet Russia memory manages you!

I think I got “cunT” once and gave myself a heart attack because I thought I had accidentally committed a frustrated debugging log message to a work repo. I found it while searching for swears but it was in a file I hadn’t changed

I got a media failed to load error at first and thought that was the joke

At least most of us don’t need to worry about time dilation caused by relatively yet. Have fun with that, space faring developers.

Is that a Flooko painting for the background?

Wouldn’t the energy used for manufacturing, shipping, gathering, and recycling twice as many solar panels outweigh the benefits? That’s a lot of extra logistics to deal with
