As one of these employees, I'm very very pissed off. Then this article hits the day I get back from a nice vacation. Fuck it. My resume is already updated. Time to get out of here. I have less than zero respect for this guy. So much for nearly a decade at AWS.

Fun side story. My first job as a developer, I was working in a small porn company in downtown Chicago. We had just hired a few people, so being the only techy in the company it was on me to order a bunch of hardware from NewEgg.

It was supposed to be delivered days later. But no, they had an employee, just like a regular dude, hop in his car and deliver the order on the same day. This was probably 2006, so same day delivery way NOT a normal thing.

I rarely get to tell this story because I don't want people to know I started off my (somewhat long) software engineering career in porn and because who cares about this in today's world.

However, OP mentioned NewEgg, so it fits here.

Or using any plugins that are privacy/ad-blocking related?

I mean.... Of course.

Oh shit that matrix feature is real cool. Thanks for sharing.

My boss is having his wedding tomorrow. He was supposed to start his vacation earlier this week. He definitely showed up to meetings I GUARANTEE he didn't need to be in on the first day he was supposed to be gone. Man, we've been here longer than you. We can handle it. You're awesome, but don't let upper management bully you. Us senior devs sure don't. Fuck em.

Well, we sure do live in a society. Can't really add much more than that.

Bahahahaha. Good.

Just installed Mint on my Surface Pro 4 that's been sitting in a drawer for years and guess what, it's now useable again! Praise be Linux.

That's very fitting.

US here. Also sounds good

Welcome to the club. Your lan port is over there. (Insert broadcom chip joke here)

One of the many reasons I will always set profiles to hidden anytime I create an account somewhere. My visibility should be null by default.

Oh I definitely remember this. Completely forgot about it

I miss 3.1. the blue background was a specific blue and the gray taskbars were gray. What a wonderful time.

Time for another "nobody cares, so the Internet gets to hear it" story by yours truly.

In 2006 I got to go see Paramore. I was right up front, as you do at concerts. Made eye contact with Hayley and she winked at me.

I still have butterflies in my stomach. That crush never went away. Don't tell my wife.

Right!? I don't get it. Why aren't we so far beyond this by now? This was shit that should have been solved ages ago yet here we are having the same goddamn discussions decade after decade. Let's just collectively grow the fuck up already. I just don't get it. I just don't. Fuck these people.

As a wise Arabian parrot once said, "Why am I not surprised? WHY am I not surprised!?"

Same. Keep up the good work.

Time for some double shots rather than printed on nonsense!

You can come use mine and I'll use you as inspiration to quit.
