Now would be the time for a scramble suit startup.

Yeah, not for long, I’m quitting this company as soon as I can.

At work we have the following quote on the fridge

“A ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: fifty pound of pots rated an “A”, forty pounds a “B”, and so on. Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot — albeit a perfect one — to get an “A”. Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work – and learning from their mistakes — the “quality” group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.”

We are a software development company and my reply to this was basically that pot making hasn’t changed in a long time, it’s basically shaping and firing clay. Software development is comparatively new and has a vastly more dynamic landscape.

Also, the comparison is stupid because we don’t write code, realize it was shit and write a new one. If we did business like that, we wouldn’t be in business.

I use it sparingly and only to automate things I know how to do very well, so reviewing its work become easier.

Yes, always!

Pretty sure it’s gonna be the stake

Noop, you have to install the man-db package

The irony of visiting an article about an adblocker and seeing a message to disable my adblocker.

I foresee a third wave of redditors coming to Lemmy.

The point about decentralization is absolutely the fediverse, however my shower thought is basically the second point, where the hyped technology known as blockchain really is only something old called linked lists, which basically is an object holding a reference to the next object in a chain (linked list) or a reference to the previous and next objects in the chain (double linked list). This is essentially how webrings worked.

Same, but I do have my own community away from work and have always prioritized my friends over co-workers.

Currently rewriting my homelab into terraform and adding some redundancies using cloud environments, in case of power outages or network issues.

AFAIK that is no longer the case, all cash-only sims require a valid ID to purchase, but now I’m curious and I have to ask a lyca dealer specifically.

Personally I’m all for burner phones, I just wish you could get burner sims as well like the good old days.

Ha, go fuck yourself cheeto (France probably).

Because obviously you need military intelligence in… what is it Google does again… adtech /s

They all want to be invited to the secret war group chats they’ve been hearing so much about.

I mean, if it works, who am I to criticize?

Great read, thanks for sharing.

If it’s not a real country, then it cannot issue a citizenship, problem solved in my mind.
