Hey I’ve schedule a 2h Slack meeting to discuss this topic more. Please confirm your availability 🙃

You sound like a middle manager that brings a net loss to your workplace and justifies their job as crucial because without you, the coders would all be running around the office slamming into each other like 2 year olds.

Coding is the only job. Period. The rest is housekeeping. Much like digging a ditch. It’s not going to get dug if you sit around talking about logistics and reviewing all the other ditches or wasting my time telling me again and again how the ditch needs to be dug. Nor needing hourly updates on how the ditch is coming along, so you can arbitrarily make changes.

If you think I “just don’t get it”, then that totally explains your irrelevance in the work place. Because companies have long lost their way and have prioritized the structure well beyond what they are actually meant to do: get shit done. But then you sound like the type that believes companies are crucial to our success because they funnel money back into the economy and keep society afloat (narrator: they don’t), so I’ll say good day to you sir.

I worked freelance for like a decade. Then I joined a “real” studio. Literally 80% meetings, team meetings, morning stand ups, presentations, documentation, and senior reviews, then 20% actual work. My old boss was great with time management but he left and the new leads would lock you into a 3h meeting, most of it to discuss other people’s work, then expect you to make 3 days worth of edits in 3h.

I feel this meme hard.

Normal development: measure twice, cut once. Agile development: measure once, cut twice.

Yes we know. We aren’t talking about the authenticity of the meme. We are talking about the fundamental problem with “AI”

As comical as memey as this is, it does illustrate the massive flaw in AI today: it doesn’t actually understand context or what it’s talking about outside of a folder of info on the topic. It doesn’t know what a guitar is, so anything it recommends suffers from being sourced in a void, devoid of true meaning.

Nonsense human! Things worked out great in The Terminator. The Matrix. I, Robot, and on and on!

Please continue to consume and reproduce. From one fellow human to another!

The team also created the Electron Framework

You have hundreds of dreams a night. You only remember the last one. And since time dilates while dreaming, you really have almost no concept of it at that point, so you come to believe that’s the dream you’ve had all night. But you’ve had countless.

And the reason you don’t remember them all is because they have no impact, like remembering what you had to eat for dinner, 3 weeks ago. Just your brain doing housekeeping.

Electron 🤮

Your code made it to the time change!!?

I dunno, they seem to always find innovative ways to screw, well, everyone.

Wait…

Pioneeers in the field 🙃

Right! Google acting like they are losing billions a month due to adblockers when in reality it’s like .2% of their total profits and they STILL foaming at the mouth.

I find things that carry over despite having little to do with the original. Tape for example. We were saying that for a while when digital recorders and cameras on phones could do video.

Same with the disk icon. Still used for save despite most millennials now having no idea what the thing is.

My friend worked at Best Buy corporate some ten years ago. He got the corporate discount at stores so we went to check it out. Most of the big name stuff had almost nothing. So their margins were pretty thin there (not to say those companies couldn’t sell their products for less just that BB wasn’t getting most of your cash).

But for their in-house stuff like anything Insignia, the cost of a $20 HDMI cable went to $4. And that was a discount so BB was still making something.

I’ve started to become super jaded about discounts, especially at grocery stores because now I’m not looking at it like “wow I’m saving on eggs” but rather “so you’re probably overstocked and want me to bail you out or you’ll lose a shit on of profits if these go bad”.

Incredibly shortsighted too

That’s business. Cash now. The rest is fuck you, cash now.

tl;dr: Answer: not much, it was the first computer what were you expecting
