@realcaseyrollins yeah, I think for the most part Lew is more of a guy who likes looking at fancy new phones and isn't that much into the more technical department

that being said, he does love his stuff

If you want a work to be open-sourced, reproducible and transmissible you must focus on the rightsholders preventing that

the 4k display has been a thing since the Z5 Premium in 2015 COME ON

it's so funny to see, like, Lew being impressed about everything that has been on previous Xperia smartphones, despite the fact that he already took a look at the Xperia 1

Hey @georgia you've gotta help me hook this kid up with someone before the hornyposting gets completely out of control. @Jojothegoodperson @11235
@realcaseyrollins @SandiaMesa @a7 ngl, pleroma is way better than mastodon, but one thing that mastodon does a lot better is marketing, which the pleroma doesn't has
Learning languages are kinda like learning how to code

Skilled programmer might be able to do something in 3 lines what might take you 10 and a native speaker might be able to say something in 3 words when you need 10

@niggaflamebuttholeaids @lain Exactly, and when they brought me on that wasn't clear to me either. I feel like they hired me under the false pretense there was already something in progress and then dumped the whole project on me and said "figure it out".

I'm very good at "just figuring it out", and I liked the freedom they gave me, so it actually seemed like a perfect fit. I was motivated to work my ass off to build the awesome, stable, new Fediverse backend. What I didn't expect was them to fire me for expressing doubts and asking too many questions.
@lain @niggaflamebuttholeaids When I suggested Misskey, Rob said "I looked at the code and didn't like the way it was organized, so I would have to refactor it to the point where it's no longer Misskey anymore, so it would be better to just build our own thing." The whole team, except Andrew, argued strongly for building their own thing. I feel that Andrew is being misguided by them.

Obviously, refactoring something to the point it doesn't resemble the original thing IS the better way than building from the ground up. At least you start with something that works. It's always better to refactor than rewrite.
@niggaflamebuttholeaids @alex but they already have 20 million projects like a browser, a video chat and so on. why add one more?
@niggaflamebuttholeaids @lain Yep. Unless you count the times Rob came in behind me like a whirlwind making completely unnecessary changes that broke all my automated tests, like trying to swap Express for Restify without properly researching it.

There's no code review, and team communication is mostly hot air. Rob justified not doing code review by saying "we're all adults here." But then if I did something he didn't like, he'd react to it, so I was in a constant state of limbo unsure if I was creating the thing they wanted or not.

Hello. I'm new to Mastodon and QOTO, and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a nerd with fairly broad interests. In particular, I play a lot of JRPGs, and have a nice collection. Regarding my technical knowledge, I'm a Control Systems Engineer who does a lot of programming. My current silly project is trying to beat TiddlyWiki into my preferred project tracking app.
