Shouldn’t be allowed. Companies shouldn’t be allowed to buy each other. We already know what happens with consolidation.

Fuck. Fuck all this AI slop.

Interesting. I dislike writing bash scripts so this might appeal to me, but probably not before a stable 1.x release.

That’s a good point.

Though sometimes people are just sandbagging. Like I know one guy is just watching Netflix instead of working. I’m downstream from his work, so it’s a little annoying that I have to wait a couple days to get started.

I wouldn’t rat him out because my labor solidarity beats out my annoyance, but the annoyance is real.

One time we spent like more than an hour in a horrible meeting to plan out how long the next step of a project would take. 4 weeks, we said. Management came back and said to do it in 2. Well, why did we fucking have the meeting if they had a deadline in mind already?

On the other hand, at my current job I have seen a lot of “oh that’s going to take a couple days” protests for things that are 20 minutes of work.

Seems like the solution is to get rid of out of touch management.

I deeply dislike sarcasm. It’s neither funny nor helpful.

There was a guy I worked with that was pretty much always sarcastic.[1]. I’d ask him if he’d written the run book yet and he’d say like “Yes, it’s written in the style of a sonnet with hand drawn illustrations”, and I’d be like “I don’t know if that means you wrote it or not”. Everything with him took extra steps because his communication was such a swamp of insincerity.

[1] well, when I asked him to stop being sarcastic he said it wasn’t sarcasm. He was merely being ironic. Nonsense.

I use nano for quick edits. I don’t know more than the basics of vim, and don’t do a lot of editing on the terminal so I haven’t needed to.

Ars is weirdly pro-windows sometimes , in the comments. I don’t read them as much as I used to.

I want job postings and a way to reach people I worked with.

I absolutely do not want the click bait and slop.

Sometimes the manual steps grow like weeds. Where I’m at now, they haven’t invested in automation much at all. Now deploys take all day. Making a code change is a sweaty manual regression search process. It’s bad.

People assume it’s all terminal all the time. I haven’t needed to open the terminal for months. It starts up. With the GUI I open the browser. Maybe steam, too. Do stuff. Shut down.
