A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm a developer, and the shit I've been asked to throw in for SEO is just infuriating.
"Here's 500 keywords we need added"
"Half of this isn't even about our product"
"Marketing says we need it, so add it."
I swear, the two jobs least needed in this world are middle managers and marketers.
Preach it.
I recently started studying social psychology, and sadly the main takeaway from my initial venture into the field is a confirmation of how unaware and automated the average person is.
Middle managers, marketers and the average customer are all caught up in a perpetual feedback loop, constantly enabling each other's addictions. It doesn't help that these demographics overlap as managers and marketers are customers of other marketers and managers, turning the feedback loop into a vicious cycle.
pure cultural poison
