  • Have some dark fantasies, but probably not do anything about it. If I did see someone damaging the car or the owner, I don't know what you're talking about.

  • The author they're criticizing, McGinnis, sounds like a real asshole.

  • File under "some problems have easy solutions but would upset a handful of rich people", or maybe "...but would upset unqualified idiots"

  • I think a lot about the job I didn't get last year. Technical interview was trivial. They said I did very well in the system design. But they ultimately went with someone "more cross functional". What the fuck does that even mean?

    I think it's just code for "dunno we like the other guy's vibe better".

  • Electronic Arts has launched EA Advertising, a way for brands to integrate ads in games

  • Chex Quest was legitimately good, but mostly because it was just a Doom mod

  • Gen-Z socialism, from Zohran to Zack and beyond. The world’s leftists are embracing a new set of economic ideas

  • They just say stuff. They don't care if it's true.

  • Corporations shouldn't be allowed to buy each other

  • Life is cheap in Colorado, where a driver walked without a day behind bars for killing a cyclist

  • I feel like if someone did a killing with their car and was let off, and someone enacted vigilante justice of their own, I wouldn't vote to convict.

  • People should be held accountable for this kind of thing.

  • Any company convicted of posting a ghost job should be required to pay a year's compensation to every individual who applied to the job.

    There should be a well funded team of investigators and a tip line. Rewards for ratting out management.

  • Some people will do anything to continue to fit in with their group. I don't think it's always even a conscious choice.

  • Has no one been pointing out to management that even firms like Microsoft are backpedaling on using AI?

    Management doesn't listen to low level people who actually do work. I think this is part of Ed zitron's "Business Idiot" thesis. Upper management is so far removed from how things actually get done, they are in all measureable ways idiots

    Sometimes they also have selfish or stupid side goals, too. Like, the rumor is the company gets a tax break for people going into the office. So now they make people go into the office, even when most of their team is remote. Climate criminals all, but they're removed from the consequences.

    Upper management are fools. Middle management just wants their paycheck, and maybe to rise high enough to become a business idiot themselves.

  • That's kind of like "no one goes there anymore - it's too crowded"

    I mean, the one I'm at is mostly doing a hiring freeze. Management is frothing at the mouth over using AI. But there are currently a lot of people working here, some full time and some under dubious "contractor" arrangements.

  • and I am constantly telling them that in the workplace situation, to not be afraid or hesitate to act on something.

    This really depends on the workplace. I'm at a megacorp and trying to fix anything is far more pain and work that just not.

    Like I could try to convince them to move off of python3.9 because that's old and well past end of life. But I need to explain that to my boss, the business lady, some other manager, "the audit team" (whoever the fuck they are), and then grapple with how they have 5-10 years of code and not a single line of automated test coverage.

    There's no reward.
