Don’t ask for permission, ask for forgiveness.

And if you’re the president, forgive yourself.

Oh God. This is continuing to give attention to stupid.

When MTV started making reality tv show and encouraged morons to be morons, where most of us laughed, all it did was empower them.

Wild. UK folks have people who cosplay as Nazis and have the apologize.

Here in the States, we give them government platforms and call it free speech. Some even march in the streets unafraid.

Both sides.

I constantly call out juniors who do things like ignore warnings, completely unaware that the warning is going to cause serious tech debt in a few months.

But Ive also unfortunately shrugged after seeing hundreds of warnings because to update this requires me to go through 3 layers of departments and we’re still waiting on these six other blockers.

Pick and choose I guess.

Hate your kids? Send them to a Troubled Camp where they’ll kill them. Good job parents.

Someone post this to the Best of Lemmy community. This is gold.

When the news came around about boeing airplanes having fault issues last year, I actively avoid all boeing flights. If I was forced to use Boeing, I’d research the model and ensure it wasn’t on the Boeing shit list. Of the five flights I had since 2023 when the Boeing shit show happened, I changed one of them and actively shopped for flights without Boeing.

If you think I’m a paranoid for doing this, I absolutely bet you there’s millions like me. People who will rather pay extra to avoid a Spirit airline experience, you will pay for convenience. Families who would rather throw some more dough to ensure their vacation isn’t ruined. Companies that would throw more dollars knowing the airline ticket they got wont result into a multi million dollar insurance claim that the company has to pay for.

So yeah, Boeing has a big fucking problem right now.

I know I’m preaching to the choir but for the people interviewing for their first software gig

First software gig? In this market, take whatever to get experience imo.

But that second/third/etc job? Culture, then salary, then everything else. Last interview I went to bragged about giving everyone brand new sneakers yet pay $25k less than average.

The difference between experienced devs and non experienced devs is that we have hundreds of stories like that under our belt. Hundreds of “Ah I wasted all this time because of a typo”, and now we know to check for it.

It never stops. And after a while, a dev will share this exact scenario and you’ll look back and share the same bit to them.

Lol brb gonna share this with the CFO and watch them go into a panic. Going to bet they’ll freak out and by the end of 2024, no more Java for us.

This is the golden ticket I’ve been waiting for.

I went with eleventy and pure markdown files and I never looked back.

I say this as a person who loves WordPress and contributes to the open-source project.

I’m laughing at my ass off in all those conservative spaces going, “What’s a bit of felony?” And “All this for paying off a porn star?”

Like whatever stupid narrative you wanna make, the reality is clear… Diaper Don is a felon.

Voting for Trump because you hate Biden’s stance on Gaza?

Straight to jail, no question.

How are you bad?

You got a green verification checkmark on the same day! That’s a win!

$1.8 billion can buy your state 6 new stadiums!

I can really only imagine that this was the product of a corporate yes-man culture, where critical voices get sidelined or eliminated and the solution to every problem is to just throw money at it (but not too much money, just enough to make it look passable).

Having worked with a bunch of egotistical rich folks (of which there are so many and you won’t see them on the news), they see this as research. I used to believe in fighting to do the right thing, but they aren’t going to have it. I see a trainwreck and rich CEO is going to push it no matter what. All I can do is brace for impact, ride the wave, keep people employed and take the money, all while knowing it will fail.

Heck, you see it all the time. The VR worlds, the tone-deaf games, the hardware nobody asked for, the shitty movies.

NGL I apply to places where I use the software. But it’s not one thing, it’s a dozen things I would fix.

I actually never successfully got the job. Probably because during the interview, I come off like a rambling psychopath pointing out extremely specific things.

The Republicans did it - they protected underage marriage!
