Just finished Sunderfolk with a group of friends and my wife. Also finished Expedition 33 (and I’ll never stop talking about it).

I’m about halfway through Dodgeball Academy and Chants of Sennaar. They’re a fun little distraction before I dig into Blue Prince and Hades

That’s been on my list for ages. I really need to watch it

Hear me out but Iron sky. A group of Nazis have been hiding on the moon. They’re back now. I thought it was a great romp and you could tell the creators cared.

Kung Fury was also 10/10. Time travel Nazi fighting.

I see a theme lol

When you get a new boss at Twitter who ranks people by lines of code written

I’ve submitted a few pull requests to some self hosting software repos. I’ve also put in a lot of time editing a large crowd sourced data set. Currently working on a crowd sourced set of translations on old public domain comics.

Even just reporting bugs you find or interface pain points is a big help. Nothing wrong with just being a user.

Curseforge, another Minecraft launcher that many modpacks get uploaded to and also supports multiple versions, has been working for about a year for me on Linux Mint too incase she ever wants that.

This is why I just develop on the production machine.

Most people when they hear “drama” they think things like the brain dead hissy fits on reality TV. The kind of pointless fighting we should avoid. Destigmatizing the word would legitimatize that stuff.

We really need a better word for this posts topic where there’s very public back and forth but it’s a much more valid moral disagreement.

As a software developer with 10+ years in .Net. I don’t even bother with Microsoft documentation anymore, it’s often wrong or outdated and skips chunks that even senior devs need.

I swear centering in css is intentionally left as a Lovecraftian mess simply so front end devs can feel superior

Like the Turbo Encabulator

Many are going even further. Both my friend and I are planning to get dumb flip phones next. Forget also this smartphone always online stuff

One of us, one of us!

What you’re describing is a different problem that does exist but isn’t what’s going on here in the US. The layoffs have been so broad and across so many different industries with almost no rhyme or reason.

Several of my friends who have been in the industry for years, and quite good at what they do, have been laid off. Many of the companies fired people simply based on who was hired last (even if they’d been there 3 years and a high contributor). Others fired just based on which team made the least money back (without regard for if they were a support team or some other important group like an infrastructure team not directly developing a product but developing for all the other teams). The steel processing company one of my friends worked for developing their inventory system and such, they told each manager to lay off 20% of their team and didn’t give any more guidance.

The article focuses on the big companies like Google and Microsoft but country wide from the companies with only a few people on up have been laying off developers. This was a safe choice field a few years ago but more is flooded with competing applicants for job listings.

Don’t worry, it just takes you to chatgpt, skips the middleman and interacts with the bot directly

That’s the old meaning of it. The new is “clock it”. Get with the times old man.

Or even better, libraries of functions you’ve built up over time from visiting stack overflow

Clock it 🤏🏼 (just imagine it’s the middle finger down)

Completely missed that. My eyes rushed over that as an alternative CPU I think.
