Also, the software industry itself is waging constant war against software developers, desperately trying to crush wages and expand the workforce by any means necessary.

Muh agile is another attempt to turn sw development into an assembly line job and squeeze more out of devs. It’s garbage, but whenever people point that out, advocates of agile keep saying it’s “not done right”. Quite similar to how the consistent failures of gommunism, “weren’t real gommunism”. If nobody can “do it right” then it’s a system unfit for actual humans.

The last time the West was good at engineering and built the foundation of current tech (moon landings, teh internet, unix, VMS, cool cars), when people became engineers because they liked to build, not because they thought they’ll make bank after a bootcamp. And they were led by older engineers, not clueless MBA assholes.

@LukeAlmighty @deprecated I've seen it in multiple places honestly, just talking with other programmers. It's a bigger issue in the big corporate tech environments where they have projects that require huge teams.

Good luck with the offshore programming team that codes cheap, has incompatible work hours, lots of vacation time, and every time you ask them to do something you can practically see a monkey's paw creepily curling a finger towards the palm.
@deprecated @LukeAlmighty I've seen employers oscillate between "Let's import an H1-B visa worker who will do as we say or outsource work to Vietnam and won't complain much" and "Holy shit we need someone who speaks fluent english and can not only code but has communication skills better than Koko the gorilla."
@FelonyCommitter oh silent films must be making a comeback because I'm not spending 20 minutes to listen to a woman speak

All of the recent manipulation with the vaccination and covid data truly broke me.

I went to a doctor, and she noticed, my tetanus vax expired. The way she smiled connected in my head to all of the manipulation I've seen recently, and I panicked and ran off saying I had no cash to afford it.

That was about an year ago. The media are deadly, since their dishonesty starts glowing throughout the entire medical industry.

I've spent 3 days trying to resize VM disk, but only now did I think of simply adding a new one instead.
