Last panel has strong Carl vibes

I feel like a celebrity now 🤩

Hard to belle-ieve

There’s quite a discussion about that further elsewhere in this thread. To me, the combination of vector-like thick lines with that background color, the characters having such mute expressions and there not being one actual optimist.

Others also pointed to the “weirdness” that is the lines of the characters’ arms becoming part of the table, which I didn’t notice at first.

Perhaps more importantly, it does not look like the “author” has “zero drawing skill”, but actually knows how to make vector art, even if relatively simple. That makes the problems more glaring

I’ve been exposed! 🤖

Sounds like you’re walking a metaphorical minefield

Not OP, but let’s make this better:

PS: i doubt anyone here would honestly say “damn, that’s beyond my skill”, which goes to show that “not everyone can draw” is a bullshit argument for using AI to make comics

Like I never heard a programmer bemoan that they do all this work and it just vanishes into a void where nobody interacts with it

Where I work, there are at least 5 legacy systems that have been “finished” but abandoned before being used at all because of internal politics, as in, the fucker that moved heaven and hell to make the system NOW got fired the day after it was ready and the area that was supposed to use it didn’t want to.

We’re as cooked as artists (when asked to do shit jobs for non paying customers)

For Super Hogwarts against the muggle menace?

I believe one game lasted months

Ah, so a typical match of tennis

Last I played was as an adult with 3 other friends. To make it tolerable we had a rule that, on landing on someone else’s property, we could either pay up or drink a shot of rum. Mistakes were made.

Get certifications, those end up being worth more than degrees

Also, friends in high places. Anyone that can help you skip the bullshit automated job market (filling infinite forms and tests for 1000 openings, only to never get any reply) is extremely important.

“Program is slow? Just get better hardware, brah!!! It’s cheap, bruh!!!”

Fuck you and anyone that thinks like that

“We’ve always done things this way, we ain’t changing!” - some folks in the Foss community, like those RCS maintainers

i7-7700 with 16GB of RAM :/

What surprised me the most was the speed of the compilation, must be a very small program. I tried to compile Godot from source once. Force-stopped it after 3 hours

There must be more join statements than column names

Not too different from how they’re waged today. One country tells all their partners “If you keep buying stuff from my enemy, I will not buy any of your stuff, or sell you this super important thing you need!”

The difference is probably that high seas piracy was more common “back in the day”
