  • How are hippies going to survive this? On the one hand, they need an overpriced piece of hardware with rounded edges to stick their anti-capitalist stickers on, on the other hand it would (just as always) be supporting an anti-palestinian regime.

    I guess, the same as always, ignore the inconvenient truths and drink some mate or kombucha, or whatever it is they drink, and go to an anti-zionist protest with big tech hardware in their hands.

    Meanwhile, the large majority won’t care. Out of sight, out of mind. As long as the new gadget makes them seem like they belong in a high social class and they can fit in 🤷 “A little big tech ain’t hurt nobody! (nobody I know)”





  • Crporate programming sucks and will always suck. Your team leads, managers, CTOs, and CEOs all lose the plot as soon as they are promoted (if they ever were). Unrealistic deadlines, little to no understanding of the craft/job/whatever, unrealistic expectations, unwillingness to listen to the experts, no progress or too much process, and so on.

    I enjoy myself much more when writing my own stuff. No deadlines, sometimes not even a plan. Just jumping from task to task; whatever seems fun at the time. I might work on the same project for months, sometimes for days, sometimes not at all as I take a break and just touch grass or play games. But at work… No such luck. Just have to trudge through the crap.

    We need to tax wealth and introduce UBI. Fuck corporate work.
