Okay, I get the idea of smart AC for example - be elsewhere, turn it on remotely so that it’s comfortable when you get home. Fine. But a toilet? You are physically present there, you can push a button to flush. Or are you telling me that you’re shitting remotely now too?

Somewhat agree, but since Scrum is supposed to be bent to the team’s needs, it might differ from team to team, but it’s fine as long as those numbers are consistently used in one team.

If story points are now hours, I hope you’re fine with me putting a 40 on that ticket.

I’d argue that deploying from one codebase to 3+ different platforms is new functionality, although not for the end user per se.

I wish though that more of the web apps would come as no batteries included (by default or at least as a selectable option), i.e. use whatever webview is available on the system instead of shipping another one regardless of if you want it or not.

Well, over time, you accumulate some judgment about things like that. But you have some point too.

For anything that doesn’t seem entirely obvious I try to leave a comment. It could end up being helpful to me some time later, because let’s face it: your code is indistinguishable from someone else’s code 2 weeks after you commit it.

Laugh tracks have a purpose though. I understand they’re not to everyone’s liking - and that’s fine, but they work for some comedy shows - and usually they’re from the live audience that sees things performed in front of them.

As if someone’s telling a joke and saying “This is where you should laugh”

As if default keywords are the biggest deal-breaker.

There are no bugs, it’s just not doing what you expect it to be doing…

… which, now that I think of it, can be said about all software in general.

You have a point unfortunately.

Implying the orange fella has any say in programming language design and general tech conventions

I agree with the “learn the CLI”, but to newcomers I’ll also suggest to look at the IDE/editor’s output channel - if there’s GUI for Git, there are also most likely logs for what’s happening under the hood - even if a little noisy, it can be a good learning resource. And of course if you’re learning and unsure of what’s happening (with the CLI or through a GUI), do so in a non-destructive manner (by having proper backups).

That has the same energy as complaining that a file manager has “Delete” in the context menu.

When you give the task to an intern-to-be.

I’d be screwed.

If all you have is a hammer, everything else looks like a nail.

Don’t get attached to a company unless it’s your own gig.

If you get fired and you’re good, you’ll get hired again within weeks.

Fair enough, whatever works for you - but I feel like this is more of an exclusion and the majority of people are just too lazy to set their monitor brightness properly.

My problem is kind of the opposite - most light themes I’ve seen are too contrasty and I can’t discern the different colours all that well, moreover too much contrast is tiring to my eyes. Black text on white background is about the same as white text on black background. Most of the time I prefer dark themes, but those with low or medium contrast.
