Are Overemployed ‘Ghost Engineers’ Making Six Figures to Do Nothing?
The old adage of the engineer paid to know where to tap an X comes to mind: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2017/03/06/tap/?amp=1
Frankly anyone telling you they can measure the value of a line of code without any background knowledge is selling BS.
But I welcome this new BS system as the previous system of managers not so secretly counting total commits and lines added was comically stupid.

Israel is not a people. It is a colonial government enterprise. So yes calling for the death of that political system is entirely within the bounds of peaceful and polite conversation. You shouldn’t call for the support of a genocidal government by equating it with the people inhabiting the land.

True fact, in the early days of Linux I installed it and was like awesome! I am staring at a terminal prompt with color ls output and thinking man this is so cool! That irrational love of computers lead to a career but also a lot of inability to socialize.

Will you be willing to pay for using Twitter?
A monthly fee seems idiotic but yes please do it! Please!
That said I think a $5 signup fee on Mastodon or Lemmy that is not refunded if you get banned would seriously help stop bots. They only make pennies per bot and if you make their cost even minimally painful the economics fall apart.

I was going to just block the author of this post and move on but your comment so beautifully and clearly expressed everything I was thinking about their asinine lack of self awareness, I had to just at least thank you for taking the time to patiently engage despite knowing full well they refuse to learn.

Expensive school uniforms don't make kids better at maths, so why are schools so focused on them?
Reply in thread
That’s some serious graft. But nothing to do with uniforms as a policy. My daughter’s public school has a uniform of sorts but it I just color and style based, not specific required brands

The alternative is PRIMARY HIM. That ass doesn’t deserve our vote and his hubris that he will get it no matter what is driving this country into a game of chicken with madness. He must retire and the only way he will listen is if we credibly refuse to support him NOW

Likewise. Doing taxes is easier for me than emptying my physical mail inbox. Literally. I only got through 90 percent of my inbox but man I filed early this year after more than 5 hours of forms

Shit Midas. Unlike the greek's myth, there're so much more people who turn everything into piles of burning feces. I'm struggling to name it. Shitass, maybe?

What we had was an excuse to spend unlimited money on weapons, destabilizing anti-business foreign governments, and demonizing unions and social programs.
