Heh. Nice

Sigh, so is Mozilla just like Google now? Can’t trust any services to stick around?

So the plot of Johnny Mnemonic?

Here’s one. And their profits went up when they replaced their CEO https://www.forbes.com/sites/sherzododilov/2024/01/11/can-ai-become-your-next-ceo/

Tbf human operated cars are also murder machines, we just are more amenable to tolerating it

20 years ago while learning web development Dreamweaver was going to supposedly eliminate the need for code on websites too. lol

But sadly, the dream of eliminating us seems like it will never die

Does that mean it has something to do with excess iron in their systems? As women naturally get rid of a good bit every month but men have no such mechanism.

It’s definitely better…but. Thanks to Google SEO the internet it’s bringing you results from is still filled with shit

I seriously thought he died like 20 years ago

Yep, I’m not clicking that. So the headline will have to do

I thought this was going to be about setting up packet radio and making offline backups of Wikipedia, for when the world tears itself apart less than a year from now 😓

Snaps are crap. Not using them is one of the main reasons I’m considering switching to Mint

This sounds like a step right toward that Handmaid’s Tale future 🤮

Oh yeah. I remember this episode of Mr. Robot

Seeing the universe expanding at different rates could just mean we’re not as close to the center as we thought, and the parts further away from the center are moving faster. That’s my layman’s hypothesis though

So we need git add . && git commit -a here really

You need the “Userland” programs. Basic things like ls, cp, cat, etc. Usually it’s GNU core tools, but there’s also BusyBox or BSD equivalents.

Oh and for interview prep. I don’t really do much training. I either pass their genitalia measuring contest, or I don’t and I move on. If I’m qualified for the gig, then I should be able to roll with whatever they give me. Luckily the better jobs I’ve had didn’t even really do much whiteboarding and brain teasers though. Research has shown it really doesn’t do anything for your quality of hires. It’s better to get a feeling for how someone thinks and if they will be a good culture fit than if they can memorize the latest hot code kata.

I’ve switched jobs about every two years on average for the past 19 years of my career. Unfortunately it’s just like you said, the only way to get a meaningful increase is to jump ship. That said, once you break 100k, that motive seems to calm down a bit. You start caring more about the culture and the people you work with than how much you’re getting paid. I’ve taken a pay cut even once because my mental health required a better environment.

But sadly, at least in the startup world, there is this perpetual arch I see all the companies take. They all start good then slowly devolve into something worse, where when you finally leave you’re glad to go. Something about getting bigger corrupts what was good about a place, and if you IPO good luck. Culture goes out the window as soon as shareholders become your only driving concern.

So as jaded as that sounds, sometimes you do find a good place, and they give you decent enough raises and you can stay a while. Although for me personally, the longest I’ve stayed somewhere yet is 4 years or so. Maybe one day I’ll find that magic place that’s worth staying at for a full decade
