Not showing up for me. Illegal in Europe or something?
10·2 months agoStrychnine tea. At least you know what it’ll to your body.
One of them was my current employer when I was arguing about not managing to keep people on my team.
And I said exactly that, except didn’t walk out naturally. In another frustrated discussion I almost yelled “You can’t CHOOSE not to compete with them!”
True. But also I get paid more by taking my employment elsewhere. So win?win? I guess.
A capitalist company with a CEO earning what CEOs earn, and a board of directors maximizing profit, does not get to shame me for wanting to get paid as much as I can.
-We offer a competitive salary.
-Places X, Y and Z offer much more.
-We don’t compete with them.
Stupidly enough - not satire. I’ve had this conversation with three different companies. They struggle to attract talent for some weird reason.
See, ladies? You don’t have to shave your ear hairs. Just grow 'em long and blend them in with the rest.
“We made our own instance where the mods allow people like me. But it turns out that instance sucks because of the people they allow there. So I want to come here where it is nice. But please allow it to be not nice? Anyway look at my cool sword tattoo I drew it myself. I can say Penis.”
On this topic, I am optimistic on how generative AI has made us collectively more negative to shallow content. Be it lazy copypaste journalism with some phrases swapped or school testing schemes based on regurgitating facts rather than understanding, none of which have value and both of which displace work with value, we have basically tolerated it.
But now that a rock with some current run through it can pass those tests and do that journalism, we are demanding better.
Fingers crossed it causes some positive in the mess.
I think the dude is just watching porn on his TV stand while a murder scene runs by in the background.
I could troll better than that.
It’s funny that all the edgelords can’t find joy in the servers they made for themselves, but have to come here.
Day 78: Turns out my acolytes wrote rude jukes all over my face while I was passed out from drinking worm bile. I’ve been walking around like this for WEEKS and nobody dared tell me?! Next time the smuggler caravan comes by, I’m getting a wardrobe mirror installed.
When trying to find the original top image, “male female hardcore” was a poor, poor choice of Google image search terms.

7·4 months agoAt some jobs, I can get away with “Señor Developer” or “Computer Toucher”. Those are the nice ones.
Otherwise it tends to be “Senior Software Engineer” that carries the least constricting baggage.
I SWEAR big company middle managers hear “developer” and they can only ever see you as an infant who without guidance would just keep coding some absolute random shit and not think about product, market, customers, integration, or prioritize their own work.
You may or may not be making a valid point, but you need to be clearer about who you are referring to and in which context.
