“Political appointee”

Not a PM. But please, keep trying with stereotypical internet replies.

When a team of programmers is left to their own devices, they too screw shit up. They all do things in their own way and argue over what is best, and often fail to see the bigger picture.

I watch scope creep and lack of organizational planning from both programmers and managers. It’s all personality issues.

I also don’t believe anyone actually follows or knows what agile is (not saying I do either). Everyone on every team at every place sure talks about it, but it doesn’t seem like anyone actually does it. These are all just labels for “we adapted as we went.”

You know those surveys that ask if you Agree, Strongly Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree? That kind of crap? Yeah, those don’t work. They’re idiotic, because your average person doesn’t really know which accurately reflects them and they gravitate towards what’s easier for them personally to respond with.

This will have a similar effect. Lots of people won’t give the accurate reason. They’ll give a comfortable reason.

I like that they are trying something new though. Critique certainly doesn’t mean don’t try it or don’t play with it.

People save Google places? Who the hell needs to save 3000 of them? Wtf

This reminds me of my favorite website for demonstrating shitty designs.

If you buy someone’s services, then those services end at a point. You don’t own them or that service forever. That’s ridiculous.

I feel this phrase that took off grossly oversimplifies the issue.

The real argument is that games should be seen and treated as a good, not a service.

I mean. The federal government also frequently overlooks flaws and doesn’t fix things either. Especially the middle managers. All they care about is their next GS level or SES.

The streaming market has tons of competition. So then why are prices endlessly rising and content being removed and the value being made worse with ads?

The video game market also has tons of companies in it, and yet most of them are making the experience worse with ads and service-based games.

Everybody knows this. You don’t have to state it so pretentiously like you’re the only jerk who knows it. It’s been said on the internet billions of times for 2 decades at least.

People were so mad when Obama said “you didn’t build that.” The more mad they were about it, the more stupid you knew they were, and the more you knew they had no sense of community and didn’t care about others.

I haven’t been to a theater in more than a decade, I almost never eat at places that traditionally request tips (cause I don’t agree with it), and I have literally never once ever used a service like Uber or DoorDash.

Helps avoid adding new costs to my lifestyle by simply trying not to care about these things. I don’t trust people, and I don’t mind driving, so I would never use on eof those services, amd I feel like my couch and TV at home look and sound better than a theater, amd I’m more comfortable.

Another tip, if you ever get the itch for a new car, instead go pay for a car detail cleaning. It’ll make you feel good for a while and is far cheaper.

The fire sale has begun.

Haha, you’re punishing the workers by not tipping, so therefore don’t go at all … which, is also not tipping.

Genius!

I’m not defending tipping, just laughing at ridiculous statements.

We have too many morons who justify tipping and participate in it.

How pathetic. So much mental gymnastics here to justify it all and avoid admitting that tipping to begin with is the problem.

It was never not broken. It’s always been broken and flawed. It simply went from bad to worse and SUDDENLY people wake up and realize it was stupid all along. The fact people ever bought into tipping of any kind and felt it was justifiable is pathetic. Anyone who defends tipping is an idiot. Paying fair wages, expecting the same service every time, and having clear prices makes way too much sense to ignore. Tipping has variability that makes no sense and is not justified.

Not in my experience. I’ve never had a Hitachi that didn’t fail, and almost every WD I’ve ever had failed. Never had an issue with Seagate or Samsung before.

That’s the joke.

There was a time I’d avoid Western Digital cause everything they made fails, and I mostly leaned toward SanDisk cause they were very reliable, and well, my avoidance list got larger.
