the power dynamics are just completely different. it's like saying an adult yelling at a child is the same as a child yelling at an adult

this is the most word efficient rant I've seen in this site, and you have to say no more

@dotenvironment ah i guess this is a brazil thing, but to become a professor you have to pass a test and you keep your position for life. it is like that for any public servant actually. it is a very cushy job

movember

they kill more than sharks per year, apparently

that saying doesn't work when it involves corporations. if there's money, they're doing it

there was a tweet of someone saying there should be a job where you code for half the day and spend the rest of the day moving boxes

the problem is that cars as the main mode of transportation is an unsustainable model. there is not enough space, traffic will always be shit and you're kinda stuck having to use a car anyway because you don't have a reliable alternative. if people invested in public transportation and walkable spaces it would be much different, but y'know, lobby, politics and stupidity in the way

from my experience working at a bank, they run on prehistoric shit. banks look much better from the outside than they actually are on the inside

idk how it is in different countries, but right now I'm seeing a really huge investment in specialists, and they want people with a diploma

that kinda makes sense, since our brains just put stuff we've seen before together with no rhyme or reason, just like LLMs

@rudinskiz just the bigotry would be enough for a lawsuit, you're a very patient person

a lot of people use canva wtf

blind obedience

that started bad and ended at lawsuit levels

@JsonBoa i can dream

every time i see the game i just feel very nostalgic of high school, never gonna be upset about losing it. as far as my monkey brain goes, you're my childhood friend now

I don't remember who was it that called companies "little autocracies" and my life hasn't been the same since

i don't believe the "happy" part

I've tried chat, but not autocomplete. all the experiences I've had so far with AI were charming, but didn't have good results, so I'm not fully convinced it's useful.

to be fair, the first time it was just cause classes were suspended so not really my fault

@electrineer no, i dropped it 4 times :) we had quadrimesters during the pandemic~

happy for you, I'd just wait until i have proof of it to celebrate

for coding i guess it would have to be utc. using local timezone for code is a nightmare, since all the languages automatically use utc, and then saving to the database involves a lot of useless conversions.

at my last job we used a lot of sql queries for reports, and since we operated under a single timezone, it didn't make any sense to use utc.

tl;dr: it depends on the context

@tosensei if they followed the process it would be. most of what people call agile is just gourmet extreme go horse

I don't find js offensive, but it is bad at a few things that can't be ignored

@jestdotty it's very unlikely they'll be able to keep my code as is, because the assholes change the business rules at their whim. because of that, they expect fast and smart coders

i think a good documentation should surmise the intention of the code without having to pour over hundreds of files.
also, even if the code is clean and easy to understand, you still have to have a minimal grasp of the architecture used and the overall components to navigate a project.
i personally believe a good code is complementary to the documentation, as well as the version management, but they do not substitute.

i did a lot of kids robotics projects on that

super logo???? i love that shit
