and that’s the pernicious bit: it’s not just their skillset, it also goes right to their fucking respect for their team. “I don’t care about just barfing some shit into the codebase, and I don’t think my team will mind either!”

"is it me, driveby poster, that is wrong? no, it must be everyone else who knows the sub that's wrong"

your lack of situational awareness is alarming. stop driving, grab a coffee, put your feet up, and take a moment to actually fucking look at what you replied to

Between October and November last year, Frost and Ahrens were filmed pitching plans for what they called a “gentlemen’s club”, with members paying for networking and training courses. While the plan now appears to have been abandoned, Ahrens seemed to suggest that recruits could be transformed into an elite group modelled on the SS

As a mild tangent off this, just how many fucking things these dipshits have infected infuriates me. One of the most prominent ways I can think of is Star Trek Discovery, which in 3 different phases/places tried to be oh so edgy by riding the horses of musk praise, ai panic, and a variant of the christian futurist eschatology

Even in the very moment of seeing it they were jarring experiences. It’s going to age so, so badly.

ah yes, a detailed reading of the post does indeed reveal a narrative element best described as being on par with a story one would tell a child! certainly it has no bearing on the commonly-observed issue seen in many industries of late. oh no, massive rent extraction and industry-wide innovationless gatekeeping is merely an emergent property and is not driven by the choices of any particular individuals, no sir-ee!
