@fullstackchris you go girl! Show us what smart is

Hahahahaha you’re totally losing the debate so you go and invent some twisted story about mind-controlling pigeons. Wtf!!?
- Ok, building the infrastructure is a fixed cost (duh).
- Maintaining the infrastructure is a service that costs money (duh).
In both sentences I read infrastructure. Of course I’m talking about building and maintaining infrastructure. Gotta pay taxes for both buddy. What are even trying to argue against here?

@kobenz mate, you work in IT. Certainly "maintenance" is not a concept foreign to you

@kobenz I’m talking about the specific statement I quoted. Infrastructure is all but a fixed cost

@jestdotty do you even realize what you write sometimes? You put yourself on that list by yourself girl? "and the only option becomes to use force against force
maybe you shouldn't have used force to steal from people in the first place".

@kobenz "Infrastructure is a fixed cost
You pay once and no more." Dumbest thing I’ve heard in quite a while

yes @jestdotty, you take up arms and go storm Parliement Hill. Overthrow the government and show them what it’s all about!

@jestdotty ah your daily nonsense

Sorry but you don’t make sense mate

You stop paying your taxes, you stop using the infrastructure and services the rest of us are paying for.

Like what? Gen Z peeps are expecting very high salaries while in reality they’re low?

I’m fairly unhappy with my current job working under toxic managers as well. To my surprise I got a raise early this year as well.
I’m still strongly considering quitting. Maybe in the next couple months

Frameworks are born from this type of reasoning.
When you use vanilla, you end up having to set up some sort of system of your own to avoid having to repeat the same code over and over again. You end up with your own framework

Raging about something this insignificant is absolute cringe

@jestdotty your explanation brings some nuance to the debate.
I especially "reacted" (get it?) to b2's dumb blanket statement "imagine someone just working react, now imagine…"
As if frontenders only work with a single technology and because of that their job is super easy. First of all, most frontenders don’t only work with a single technology. And as I said they’re dealing with so many more dimensions than devops people have to deal with

@b2plane react vs devops. Apples and oranges.
Don’t even know why you’re comparing the two.
You have some complex products built with react that justify high salaries.
Working devops you’re not dealing with business rules and product owners and designers and QA people and all that. I’d even go far as to say it’s an easier job than just doing devops

That would be the best of jobs if it were that way!

It’s still maintained. Like when @netikras pinged dfox the other day to fix something. I guess they still provide minimal support

It hasn’t replaced my job but it’s definitely screwing with people’s sanity where I work. Trying to incorporate generative AI in every - single - fucking - thing we do (including retrospectives) is fucking insanity if you ask me

Portugal is such a beautiful country

Who’s "they"?

A live fight between @shovethisrant and @SidTheITGuy? Where do I sign up?!?!?

Say what?

@cafecortado Nice

It’s simple to make quick estimates when you’re told what the estimates should be

I had a project manager who had zero technical knowledge. But he knew where he wanted the product to go and trusted us to get it there regardless of the time it would take. If we told him it would be long and complicated, he never doubted our word. I loved working with him and we built a great product together.

The project manager I work with now doesn’t have any technical knowledge either. He’s a dictator though and I hate it

All in all I’d say it’s more a matter of personality and company context than a matter of technical knowledge

Ask @exerceo, he knows exactly where to find it

@netikras nooo, please don’t summon him back from whatever other platform he migrated to

I honestly don’t see what you’re fussing about here.
You say with progressive enhancement, the useful content gets loaded first. If your useful content depends on the network, what are you to show if the network fails?
Oh great, a super fast html page telling me the content isn’t available!
