I’m not sure if that thought is hilarious or disgusting :D

EUROPEAN (adjective) Belonging to or relating to Europe or its people.

That cheese got in your head.

Sure let me know in a ticket, I’ll get to it eventually!

Working the neutral way currently. There’re so many tickets, all of them more important than the other, I can just as well take from the stack.

I hear you. It’s amazing how much some company’s code / projects is allowed to suck.

Not even “my” tiny-little-side-module inside the project source recompiles within 20 seconds… because of absurdly complex and large dependencies to the actual project code.

If you’re thinking about rage quitting a job you don’t even have yet, maybe take a different career from the beginning?

What the hell.

Dude shouldn’t worry. Kids will understand that he has or had a boring job with not much to talk about… and still be the greatest dad in the world. Kids don’t care about the job of their parents.

Unfortunately, if anyone, I do.

We do that for some of the more complex business logic. We wrote libraries, which are used by our tests, and we wrote tests which test the library functions to ensure they provide correct results.

What always worries me is that WE came up with that. It wasn’t some higher up, or business unit, or anything. Only because we cared to do our job correctly. If we didn’t - nobody would. Nobody is watching the testers (in my experience).

Who tests the tests

Meme answer: Changed a manual wait from 20 seconds to 18 seconds. Boom, 10% performance improvement. I can only do it so often though.

Fair, maybe that’s how it was meant. But “dicking around” makes me think otherwise.

If your mental capacity is reached by checking your surroundings while all the traffic is going roughly the same speed as you, then no way youre capable of handling “no speed limit” where everyone is driving to their liking.

It’s not just you who’d be suddenly free to do whatever they want, but everyone else too.

Claiming “I know better what’s best for me” is the best sign of someone who absolutely doesn’t.

My current project is building a (almost) 1gb Java rich client which takes around 2minites to load… while it’s merely a gui with some small client to client capabilities. The technical debt is insane, and it’s only getting worse because neither can they afford to rebuild it from scratch.

It does have that vibe, but it’s unarguably true that a lot of software and websites are ridiculously bloated and slow.

I think his argument is valid, just as yours is.

You’re right it’s not only the US. But he’s also right that phones are not the only reason / common denominator. Basically every country has a rigged economy and a two class justice system - some more, some less. But the ruling class secured their privileges everywhere. Our planet’s doom looming over the horizon is also a global phenomenon.

What unrestricted access to the internet is doing: it’s making everyone much more aware of those things, their global scale. Everyone gets a feeling of how bad it is because there seems to be no greener pasture anymore.

Anyone has that meme with Space-Marine-style Millienial protecting lil-Gen-Z guy with his sword, saying “they fucked us real good, no?” or something.

It was here a couple weeks ago.

Except nobody is advocating coal. So what do you want to turn back on him exactly?

Just because you developed a hate boner for anyone who’s not on your nuclear train doesn’t mean they’re pro coal. If you need to put words in others people’s mouths to confirm yourself… you’re wrong.

With your reaction you just confirmed what he described.
