Lost to Time

[DJ @DuaneJRich]

Engineers who really care about the quality of their teams work are getting burnt out. Overwhelmed by PRs, difficulty in explaining why implementation choice maters, noticing that its a much easier policy to not care and slop it up. Wonder if it's a pattern..

[Daniel Glejzner @DanielGlejzner]

Software hiring has become absurd.
At work, you’re expected to use AI to offload manual coding and move faster.

Then, to get your next contract, you’re asked to code from memory with no assistance.

Pass the interview - and you’re expected to use AI again.

It has never been this broken.

Not a hill worth dying on, but whenever you criticise mandated Sunday closures you get a few retorts that are especially flimsy:
1. "Just plan around it bro." Thank you for this profound insight. Most people already plan their shopping, the issue with mandated closures is that more things must compete in one's planning for fewer time slots and with more people doing the same things at the same time in those fewer time slots. It's a cost.
2. "I like taking walks on Sunday tho bro." That's great, you might discover you can also take walks on Sunday even if the supermarkets are open. Rhetoric about a common rest day sounds good but the truth is that millions of Germans already work on Sundays. We've chosen one specific high-impact sector to close, then we added a bunch of exceptions (train station retail, apothecaries, bakeries, restaurants, cafes, etc.), and now we have to pretend like there's a principle, when in fact this debate is entirely about details.
3. "But consumerism sucks bro": Great, let's really put the knife into consumerism and force everybody to close on Saturday too. The truth is it's fun to say things like this but forcing retail to close on Sunday has real documented costs, a lot of squishy subjective benefits, and everywhere these laws have been liberalised there is no demand to go back.

Watching Nvidia destroy the DLSS brand in real time is quite something.

I wonder if they were expecting the "AI slop" reaction internally, or whether they had fully drunk the Kool-Aid

Microsoft is literally just indian nepotism now. That’s the whole company. Have you wondered why they rolled out an update that bricked hundreds of thousands of computers? Why OneDrive doesn’t work but keeps enabling itself? Why an instacart employee is handling gaming? Indian nepotism. That’s the whole company now.

I am so deeply resentful of religion, and the ripple effects on the lives of everyone around me.

I hate it so much, what an evil institution.

Suddenly, you're 27.

You make your coffee, rush to work, come home around 7, and you're too tired to do anything except eat, scroll on your phone, and pass out.

Then you wake up, and do it all again.

And when Friday comes, maybe you go out, or maybe you're just too tired. Then, out of nowhere, it hits you.

How did everything pass by so quickly?

You don't even feel 27.

You still feel like that 17 year old kid who thought they had all the time in the world.

But somehow, 10 years just disappeared. And you start missing the past. The feeling of being young, excited, and clueless.

But then you realize, one day, you'll miss this, too.

Being 25, being confused, being tired, but still trying.

So maybe the trick is to slow down a bit and actually live this chapter before it also becomes just another memory.

The point is no matter what age you are, you’ll miss these days. Life gets busy sometimes and it’s always a good time to stop and smell the roses.

Headlines in 2024 are unmatched.

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

Cards Against Humanity is suing Elon Musk & SpaceX for $15M

They're being accused of trespassing on and damaging company-owned property in Texas

"We bought a plot of land on the US-Mexico border to stop racist billionaire Donald Trump’s dumb wall. But this year, an even richer, more racist billionaire — Elon Musk — fucked that land with gravel, tractors, and space garbage, so we’re suing"

Dragon Ball was such a massive part of my childhood. So many great memories. R.I.P.

[Goku @Goku]

Just received word from King Kai. Legendary manga creator and the father of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, has passed through the Other World Check-In Station.

You have to go to a specialty store to even buy peppers that are hot here. It's insane.
