Don’t worry they’ve defunded all of the bodies that might have compiled any fair statistics so they can deny the downfall for a few years.

I don’t mind, 90% of the value I’m getting out of this is making the sales of the game the MAGA people feel betrayed by go up by one

Oh normally I’d agree, but this is a spite pre-order not a gaming pre-order

Just for that, I’m springing for the collectors edition

The argument that we shouldn’t worry about things because there are worse circumstances out there essentially implies a race to the bottom.

It implies we can’t fix anything about anything except the worst thing, so everything else will naturally degrade and decline.

We won’t fix the worst thing either because it’s too remote.

Idk about you but I’m pre-ordering the woke game

I’ve been saying for years the corporate world was getting ready to pull the rug from tech workers. Why do people think educational standards (and as it goes, engineering standards) for software development have been pushed down so much over the last decade? “What if you get hit by a bus??” A well strangely well backed movement to “stop gatekeeping” software development now revealed as a trojan horse to make developers fungible.

Well it might take 2TB of RAM for this buggy prod system to store and retrieve a JSON blob but at least anyone can work on it.

Timeraptors went extinct but you can still run into them today.

I spent some time in a mountain cave replica in a Nepalese themed restaurant, diligently honing my programming skills without the noise of the outside world. No internet, no mains, no toilet. Just me, my laptop, an angry manager who called the police and 60 charged replacement batteries that fell off a truck.

There I created the art of meditative programming where I learned to program not just my machine, but myself. As a result of this resume gap I am now able to function as a 13.6% more productive employee and have finally met the benchmark of 1.0x engineer. At my former employer I delivered a project which brought them in revenue totaling at least $12, giving me priceless experience because of this training.
