At this point I just stay connected to the bird site just to witness its end.
Man all these ‘A day in the life of a software engineer at [any SV tech company]’ sure as hell looks lonely AF. Do you folks even have someone to talk to at the office?
How to make sure you stay in business as a moving company? Have owners decide tenants can’t move during weekends. Smarts!
one must further conclude that any code generĀated by Copilot may contain lurking license or IP violations. In that case, the only prudent posiĀtion is to reject Copilot THIS COPILOT IS STUPID AND WANTS TO KILL ME by Matthew Butterick
If I ever burn out, it won’t be because of yet another dumb architecture decision or the legacy code blocking innovation… It’ll be the office politics
Gotta love how most pilots youtube videos are a collection of complaints about how travelling in business class sucks
The system I’m working on is so complex and unreadable it took me 3 hours this morning to update a string in the database

Itās alright to want to work that way. Itās also alright not ā¦
Codebase so rotten you need to refactor the unit tests āhelperā methods in order to upgrade the framework version #featurefactory
When change is slow, it takes so much more energy to keep the big picture in sight than it is to do the actual change
Software logic so complicated even support people don’t fully understand how it works… How many hours/days lost for nothing
