Oh that’s… wow. That’s really bad.
Side note: Red Hat’s home office is very near where I live, and I’ve considered looking for a position there… but their recent bullshit, and this sharp lean into LLM idiocy really turns me off of that idea.
Aaaaaand pretty much any Linux distro looks and runs better than windows, full stop.
Hey man I’m not here to kink shame, I just want everyone to have a good time
Uh, what’d Aubrey Plaza do…? I must be ootl on something
It’s somewhat deeper than that: the ethos of “move fast/break things” came about during the explosion of tech startups in the last decade and a half or so, where being first to market was the pass/fail condition of getting any valuation whatsoever for your startup. It’s an approach that works for some domains (I would argue that those domains tend to be less technically interesting and rigorous, but I digress).
There were some organizations that pointedly too the opposite route, and operated much closer to “build it once and build it right” - to wit, the original iteration of WhatsApp (before it was subsumed and ruined by Meta) was built that way, and that’s specifically one of the reasons why it was so good for so long and gained such a massive userbase.
Anyways: applying “move fast/break things” and all of the idiotic, caustic “engineering leadership” koans that spring from that font of misprioritization and useless metrics is now and will continue to cause the art and serious practice of software engineering to get whittled away bit by bit. The only places where you CAN’T do that these days is in highly regulated contexts (aero/defense; biotech; medical; other similarly regulated fields), but even that is starting to crack.
OwO what’s this?
That is… very far from the worst that could happen with microwaves, if you have enough juice.
And now:
No. 3:
You swapped your latins
Edit: if this was mastermind, you went from yellow yellow to green gray
Just gotta get a nice tight spiral and you’re golden
That’s an… impressively small sales number.
wake up, babe, the new Energizer challenge just dropped
It is… distressing to align and agree with such a darkly bleak take on where the tech industry and software engineering in general has gone. But everything in there resonates with a truly honest and depressing accuracy.
10/10 no notes.
I anticipate that ICEatzgruppen will just ignore this, like they have ignored countless other rulings.
