Bro I was trying to get files from a friend’s ipod and one album was in several different randomly assigned folders with other randomly assigned songs.

The ads don’t say any fucking info about the hardware, just dancing silhouettes and how fashionable it is.

Now people just want to literally ask their computer “where’s my passwords”. This was the jumping off point.

Hungary didn’t start celebrating Halloween until the early 2000s, so there wouldn’t have been any official Halloween comics made.

It’s the globalised UScentric seasonal celebrations. Be thankful a generic summer one hasn’t propogated.

I say that, but I’m in the fucking southern hemisphere, and suffer from summer christmas. The people wearing the santa costumes must be exhausted. At least the aussies have the right idea with surfer santa.

It was shit back then, and the dawn of enshittification.

RIP Chapelle. He died in Africa, the fat guy is an imposter.

Here’s the thing, the company that got rid of me is ultimately reasonable. If they ask for me to return, I’ll have some nice negotiation chips to bargin with.

why would somebody do that? just go on the internet and tell lies?

I fled years ago, but now, because the Yankee money ran out, I’m fucked on finding my next job.

how’s the train (amtrak?) from NJ to NYC? AFAIK the majority of NJ goes to NYC to work, or is it also upstate newyorkers? Are they commuting in and then going home at lunchtime for Albany style steamed hams?

the everything. AI, omarchy, systemd, etc

Yeah, absolutely. That’s why when people use salesforce’s easy to use flows to define business logic, they just get the business guys to do it, and they don’t manage it with fleets and fleets of programmers.

Source : Worked with salesforce as a developer, and the preference was “declarative programming” (read : flowchart diagrams) over writing Apex code,because at some point, an administrator could maintain it.

Right? RIGHT?!

No. At the end of the day, you’re going to get a technical person to manage whatever fucking mechanism you invent, otherwise it’s going to fall to pieces because some asshat can’t figure out what happens on the 29th of February.

… I forgot to mention one teeny part of that…

What happens when the company providing the tokens decides that they now cost twice as much? ten times?

Also, it’s non deterministic. Good luck staying secure.

I’ve got over a decade of industry experience. but yeah, let’s end this stupid conversation before we both get doxxed.

… are you stuck with that too? Tell you what, you hook me up with a job where I can show you the ropes of what each role the “modern” (pre-ai) software pipeline is like, and I’ll bake blueberry pies until I have a good recipe.

Or just look it up online.

I forsee layoffs instead of more jobs.

If your job title is full stack, that’s a real ass job. It means you take the data from the back end and display it in the front end, and accept the data from the front end and put it in the back end. You are also responsible for any changes that happen to the data through this process and that you apply those changes in the correct place.

TL;DR : You make the API, you consume the API. Also, put it into some god awful, unnecessary node.js dependency hell for some godforsaken reason.

and then will there be jobs?

Yeah, I went networking to see if I could find a job. Some asshole was the keynote speaker, and his idea was that with AI, you can now just throw the requirements at the machine and have it work out perfect. And that way, at the end of the day, the artifact that’s created is no longer the code, it’s the product definition. That’s what you gotta guard. You can just throw the code away once you’re done, it’s all good.

Want to change that button’s colour? Just re-create the entire fucking system, and shove it to live. Who cares how many tokens it takes?

hey, there’s job openings out there. Just, you know, 100 billion applicants and rising per job.

I only have to beat the entire world to get one role.

Well i left in 2018, and it didn’t hit international news that it got unbanned

good luck talking to my corpse if I can’t get a fucking job
