He’s feeling sassy today

I’m feeling very called out by this question.

That is great turnaround time, but I hope they aren’t crunching like crazy to get these patches out the door. I’m fine waiting an extra week or two if it means the devs aren’t being worked to the bone.

If this article hadn’t mentioned the name of the company or CEO, I would swear it was talking about the executive team where I currently work since they’ve been saying the bullshit and our RTO mandate is about to go into effect. Nevermind that every single one of my teammates is located in a different time zone, sitting on Zoom and Slack in an office will magically make me more productive and innovative.

You know you fucked up bad when even the Pope is saying, “Whoa, slow it down there with the fascism, bud”.

You monster, how could you?

Someone who probably isn’t paid enough to care. Or at all.

This is really nice. I’ve been using Mint for years and didn’t know about it.

Which means it’ll probably be training on literally everything you do on the computer and reporting it all back to Microsoft

Correct, the constitution does not literally call out the right to a stable climate, however it’s kinda hard to make good on any other constitutional right if populations being culled by extreme heat becomes the new worldwide norm.

That sounds roughly accurate from my standpoint. I would love to stay where I’m at, but I’m being forced out by the upcoming RTO mandate. And on top of that, our brilliant executive team is currently chasing the AI trend, putting a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths here. I think we also still have a hiring freeze mostly in effect except for a very few select positions with the educated guess that another RIF may be coming in the next few months. The whole thing makes me really angry the more I think about it.

Wait, are you telling me that business ethics are actually a real thing? I thought somebody made that up as a meme. Every corporate executive I’ve ever worked for has been a borderline, if not full blown, sociopath obsessed with nothing more than getting richer at everyone else’s expense. Maybe they all skipped that class?

If you really need some nightmare fuel, some of us use c++ every day and even enjoy it.

Listen, I’m sure Mexico will be sending us a check for that border wall any day now.

As a tech worker, I’m super happy they’re being compensated so well. We’re witnessing the power of workers organizing and I’m loving it. I would like to see unions in tech become a thing, but it’s impossible to organize anything with the people here and talking about it openly will get you fired for “completely unrelated” reasons.

I hate this so much, but I can’t look away.

In my experience, those things tend to be forced by project managers who believe the highest law of the land is proper scrum. Unsurprisingly, this makes all the devs miserable with no way to change anything because “this is just how it’s done”.

I can imagine c-suites all over the industry scrambling to figure out what “no microtransactions” means

At this point, I think they’re happy to let him continue digging himself deeper. Any normal person would think “Shit, I should stop incriminating myself”, but the annoying orange is too much of a narcissist to think anything can and will be held against him in a court of law.

I honestly despise influencers, but I’m ok with them doing something legitimately good for a change.
