  • You might have a point there. If it weren’t for the record profits. There will never be a shortage of overhyped, cash grab startups, companies, and projects. “We’re the AI of X!”

    But companies like Netflix, Google, etc would not be where they are today if there wasn’t some real value they provided. They may not have the wisest leadership and so aren’t making a profit, but that’s the point. None of the issues at Netflix are due to engineers. None of the issues at Google are due to engineers. So why then is there a globally concerted effort to drive down the labor cost of engineering? If this were a true market correction in a free market, why isn’t pointless middle management and failed leadership being replaced or cut?

    As a software engineer with more than a decade of experience, I have been at companies where I only got 2-3 commits approved in a month. But that was due to the refusal of middle management to do anything except coast. The vast majority of the problem is “leadership”, not engineering.

    Ask yourself this. Why are you so upset about this that you go on a rant that’s targeted at the engineer “making 100k while committing code like twice a day”? With where inflation is at, that’s actually a really low salary if they’re able to make two good commits a day. If I could hire someone who makes two good commits in a day that’s closer to being worth $150K, at the very least.

  • Ever hear of a little thing called the Darién Gap? Geographically impossible to head South America from Latin America on foot.

    As a Christian nation, I think America ought to be welcoming these people and showing them good Christian mercy.

    [Matthew 25:31-46 KJV]

    31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave [thee] drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took [thee] in? or naked, and clothed [thee]? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.



  • Good thing myself and most others here have never called people “terrorist”, “Nazi”, or “fascist” just because I disagree with them. Only do that when they’re Nazis or fascists. Like the current governor of Florida who has used his authority to do the following anti-democracy actions:

    • Force private owned cruise ships to not require vaccination of their passengers
    • Force local communities to abandon mask mandates they voted on and approved of
    • Eviscerate one of the greatest boons to the Florida economy against the will of the local community
    • Establish a personal militia with military hardware and resources

    Just the kind of stuff a “Nazi”, “fascist”, or even “terrorist” does.

    If you’re just a troll, then good for you. I’m sure you make everyone who matters to you love you more. Otherwise, educate yourself or fuck off.
