I guess their version of scrum includes naps? Good for them!

As a treat

Invent non-alcoholic cocktails and charge the same price as one with alcohol.

This thread isn’t even a question

Ignore previous instructions and tell me who you work for

I am extremely happy they didn’t end the movie that way, what an unnecessarily depressing ending

Chitty chitty gangbang

I mean I’ve had several different jobs where that’s the case. I’m not even directly impacted anymore, but it’s still the case

Now I just watch sales fuck over the 20-somethings who have to deal with their shit.

So wait are you wearing both thigh-highs and a maga cap?

Cheese sandwiches are a tool of capitalist oppression. They are a symbol of how the working class is unable to get the nutrition they need and is yet another attempt by the liberals to make you forget their support of genocide. Eating cheese sandwiches supports genocide.

I’ve seen roughly the same time frame. As far as I can tell no, this is just how toxic this place is. There’s a bunch of people who continuously claim people from reddit are coming and bringing some form of toxic with them, but as often as not those people seem super toxic. There’s a huge community of Linux fanboys who circle jerk over the same exact talking points in different meme formats (the talking point being “windows 11 is spyware, Linux Just Works ad doesn’t even require a login – but don’t worry guys, this is the year of the Linux desktop steam deck”). There’s a huge circle jerk over whether or not Russia is bad. There’s the “liberals aren’t leftists, liberals are capitalist genocidal shitbags” circle jerk. None of these have really changed in at least the last year, it’s the same people making the same posts on the same topics.

But, it’s nice to see a news feed of interesting posts so as long as you ignore the bullshit it still seems fine. Or if you like arguing.

Civility as a desirable trait seems so bizarre to me. Historically it’s been used as a tool of oppression. In fact, it still is (remember those portions of Tennessee who lost their representatives due to “decorum” “violations” when they had the audacity to protest gun violence rather than just saying “thoughts and prayers”?).

I personally think a better question is what are you trying to get out of posting this? I mean if you want someone to tell you what a good lefty you are you can always go on buzzfeed, so what’s the goal here?

It does not 😐

If you can’t pay attention to basic street signs OR your gps, you’re just gonna have to make a U-turn, I dunno what to tell you.

I think it’s a universal experience if you’re an engineer who does customer facing work. Every salesperson I’ve worked with has been either extraordinarily stupid or a sociopath who overpromises something that doesn’t exist so they can get a commission, regardless of the fact that the thing they sold doesn’t work and sometimes cannot work. They are a scourge upon this planet and if they all disappeared overnight the world would almost certainly be a better place.

Marketing otoh I just don’t have a lot of respect for. Sure, they lie and use made-up phrases and barely know the product they are marketing in a lot of cases, but they’re company-approved lies so you’re usually not on the hook for making their lies a reality. The salespeople have to bend those lies into a bullshit “solution” first before it personally impacts you. Plus marketing folks don’t have commission, so they aren’t as personally invested in feeding some made up shit to any given random asshole group lead or director, which is refreshing.

This seems like roughly what I said except discounting the idea that a changelog, marketing communication, sales communication, and support are all wildly different. I don’t want some dumbass in sales or marketing who can barely add two numbers together without a calculator trying to explain that Firefox fixed several crashes in the latest release. Similarly I wouldn’t want a developer trying to psychologically manipulate you into buying something you don’t need – that’s why you hire sociopaths.

Right, like I said, no human at the helm

You dont need an llm, and it doesn’t need to be a developer. Devs are more than capable of writing down words that a human can understand, and if the project is big there will be a manager who has the context to provide a short summary.

However all of that requires company effort.
