It’s not the surprise. It’s the soul crushing, unavoidable inconvenience of never having any say as ads get forced, new unwanted features get added, more AI bullshit injected, more updates now, no matter what you have going on… for all time.
It’s the fact that there is no choice for users but to just accept that Microsoft is forcing them to turn the computer they had last year into a totally different computer this year.
I mean without documentation… what is an API?
Think of it as a function you can unleash on others…
Aka “I have zero responsibility here.”
We are talking about about engineers whose careers are based around abstractions.
It’s funny how accountability is just ignored so that certain folks get to feel good.
Having worked in tech companies for decades, I’ve never once felt comfy with letting computer science majors just take the wheel… but I’m sure someone think this hits “hard”.
Historically it’s blamed on UX. PMs don’t create products they run MS Excel.
The gators are everyone that interacts with your code.
Shit got real then.
Passively displaying any stuff is the holy grail, but we get there step by step.
Holy shit that was weird.
The important thing is to be important. Engineering has to deal with teammates that don’t have these problems, so they equalize.
There wasn’t an excuse in the first place. It’s kinda amazing anyone can say centering a div was ever hard, especially if you have a computer science degree.
I mean sure it’s different from say object-oriented programming… but it’s frankly weird in a professional setting hearing grown adults with plenty of experience struggle over basic front-end work.
It’s like the end of Micheal Clayton.
Meanwhile in reality css totally confounds the well paid experts in c# and the whole world suffers.
But yea fonts…
If it makes a dev’s life easier there’s no reason not to upend half the planet.
Hell yes!
Does your wristwatch carry a history of use in terrorism? Did it once raise flags at the border if you had more than one? I’ll wait…
Yea but don’t forget, since I’m not getting 100% of what I want, the way I want, achieved precisely when I want it… then they are both the same.
One has worked with Bernie Sanders and helped get some his goals achieved in policy and legislature.
The other hired his own children despite their inability to get security clearances, cheated on his wife while she was at home with their newborn, paid illegal hush money over that matter, stole classified documents and likely gave them to adversaries, likely compromised national security multiple times, sowed doubt in our elections with zero evidence to back it up, blew up the debt, fucked up the Supreme Court and has said he’d ignore the constitution, term limits all of that.
But both sides amirite?
Not me!
I put them in the recycling AND feel guilty that I’m getting rid of the card.
This feels like Sovereign Citizen 101.
