@PalmsBurnt Debian is cool

@PalmerLuckey @andrewarruda Tbh… sometimes I wonder… what kind of fun remains? If we can just extrapolate that principle to all levels of abstraction…

@AgentOrToy @thdxr This reminds me of this old meme:
(spanish but you get the idea)

['(Robert Smith) @stylewarning]

I don't mean to be flippant when I say this but, yes, people like maximizing money whilst minimizing effort. Other economic factors aside, if software engineers were paid like pure mathematicians, trust me, the people in it would only be in it for the love of the game.

@antirez I like to design my code

@gabriel1 It is about what kind of hard you like. Both activities can be taken to the extreme and they require very specific people that enjoy them to do them well. If you hate ops and you are doing something crazy hard you’re gonna suffer.

@miramurati Awesome

@valigo A circlejerk

@jodiecongirl Dodged a bullet.

@VictorTaelin Oh yeah, this is quite a painful thing to see - the world will never reward the legends of computing that put in the work, and now with LLMs, their work is be deemed a commodity. Nobody admires the path of the open source martyr, just look at Richard Stallman…

@cukecity @brian_armstrong I don’t want my data to be tracked, and bombarded by a trillion ads. I rather pay.

@ThePrimeagen Like the vim/arch porn of old that prevented so many young minds from making progress in their version of “the game”

@SiSoupara This is beautiful

[Angel Loredo @Overcount_1999_]

@cmuratori @ThePrimeagen Think of it like doomscrolling after a PR

[Angel Loredo @Overcount_1999_]

@cheese_cakee_9 @luceboxai Awesome based job

@jamwt @peterpreketes For any serious work the ideal would be zero trust inference on someone else's cluster
