But if you build transit then some people will be uncomfortable and it won't be an immediate drop-in replacement! The biggest eyeroll.

Guild wars 1 and 2 are good games. The second one is still very active.

Velocity is not helpful if you’re not pointed in the right direction, and even if you are pointed in the right direction it’s not useful if you overshoot your destination.

I made this metaphor at work but management is not interested.

Giving an incompetent team AI is like giving a child a chainsaw. Maybe he'll chop wood faster but that's probably not all that's going to happen.

This is true but you have to remember that management is stupid. Stupid and cruel, but mostly stupid.

I don't know any of the surrounding context but I think about this poem (?) a lot

"Get off this estate."

"What for?"

"Because it's mine."

"Where did you get it?"

"From my father."

"Where did he get it?"

"From his father."

"And where did he get it?"

"He fought for it."

"Well, I'll fight you for it.

Carl Sandburg, Selected Poems

This is part of why scumbags want to kill work from home.

I can finish a task in an hour and fuck off. Harder to do in an office.

They could also not be fucking counter productive management, and I'd keep working on stuff. But they'd rather have a bunch of pRoCeSs and nonsense.

It's funny when you see job postings for where you work. I saw one for where I'm at (a ghost job, since there's a hiring freeze) that said like "join a highly functional team". Lady, this team can barely push code that doesn't have syntax errors.

Side note: posting jobs with no intention to hire (aka a ghost job) should be illegal.

Some people will believe anything if it means their in-group is good and the out-group is weak and bad. Probably the best hope for humanity is somehow channeling that trait so in-group is humanity and oh i just re-invented the end of watchmen, I think.

People who repeatedly make horrible decisions, with no sign of learning, should not be allowed to continue making decisions. All of these frothy pro-ai people need to go. Let them spend the rest of their days picking up litter or something useful.

I gotta find a community that has more social people than anti-socisl. It's kind of exhausting reading so much of this.

We don’t “need” capital and lower case letters either technically but we agree to use them because it makes for a nicer reading experience

This argument seems technically true (the best kind of true, maybe!) but I'd say the readability gains from capitalization are much higher than having multiple horizontal line glyphs.

"Capitalization is the difference between 'I helped my uncle Jack off the horse' and 'I helped my uncle jack off the horse' "

Why would you even bother posting on a community if you're not going to communicate? You're insufferable.
