I tried so hard to get things done at work at first. Everything just grinds along through meetings and "research spikes". Things that should take 30 minutes take months.
So, I guess that's what they want.
Except they also want us to use AI to go faster. The problem isn't generating code too slowly. It's the numbing void of meetings and "process".
Also I checked this book out of the library today and 10 pages in I'm extremely mad at conservatives.
People may have heard of these things, but I don't think most people could give an accurate description of what they are.
Most people don't know, aren't paying attention, and don't understand. It's our thankless task to try to educate and convince our less savvy friends.
I'm reminded of the 1/3rd pound hamburger thing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-pound_burger ) . People, and it feels like especially americans, are kind of stupid with money, math, and value.
I'd be happy to let them, if they didn't insist on taking everyone else with them
But he just says if you can make the argument from the Bible then no matter what it must be true.
What about the part where the devil cites scripture to tempt Jesus? Does he think the devil was correct? Or Jesus? They can't both be.
Americanism? Force them to say they're anti-american? On the other hand, they say they're anti-anti-fascism, so maybe that won't work.
But I think there is something to the idea of taking progressive ideas and wrapping them in a thin layer of american exceptionalism to get certain kinds of people on board. Don't say "recycle to save the earth". Say "only in AMERICA can we turn trash into COOL SHIT. FUCK YEAH! AMERI-CYCLE YOUR SHIT"
Imagine if wage theft was treated the same as petty theft. Some sweaty fuck looking shifty at an excel document, and then three cops kick open the door. "ON THE GROUND STOP RESISTING HE'S GOT A GUN"
BANG BANG BANG. BANG.
Newspapers all like "The manager was no angel..."
I read that's why they did this: to force people to use it wirelessly. Not sure that's really a big win. Wired mice are just fine with me.
I think a lot about the time I saw two cops park in a fire lane in order to go to a Dunkin donuts. Was like watching a political cartoon in real life.
We are the weird ones. But the only thing that changes people mind is in-group pressure. If people trust you, they'll at least humor you. Plant those seeds.
