My favourite feature in #Java: the generally small amount of drama in the community.

I don’t know what the drama is with rust. I just know that everyone right now is saying there’s drama with rust. Which is bad for the language because outsiders like me rightfully or wrongfully just develop an opinion the language is toxic.

TIL that movie "trailers" are named thus because they were originally shown *after* the movie, as advertisements for what to watch next. I never even thought about how wrong this word is for something shown often even before the movie is even released.

Community will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no community.

Got my days wrong and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine.

Apple saying they “pay developers” billions each year is like a bank saying they “pay” people that use their ATM. It’s our money! From paying customers! All Apple did was carry the bag from one place to another, and, in the process, dip their greedy fingers in it. Apple does not *pay* us for anything. They give us our own money after extracting a tax.

Colleague: We have these 2 old standards, we're going to create a new one to unify them going forwards Me: 927 Colleague: Yeah yeah, I know #IYKYK

40 straight years of supposed innovators whining like absolute babies at the faintest hint of government oversight, promising just endless Utopias if we embrace just two choices: either zero oversight at all, or shitty regulations they get to write that coddle the biggest and wealthiest

I’ve found myself referencing this a couple times recently. Both of those conversations were in the context of React, but the principle applies to every over-adopted technology.

My local dry cleaner was struggling to pay the bills. He was losing $10,000/mo. I told him to "use AI to transform his business" He took my advice. Bought a $20/mo subscription for ChatGPT. His business is totally transformed. He now loses $10,020/mo.

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me Maybe Goals and Constraints changed without the teams knowledge? Or they might have been left owning all the issues? Or they might have discovered a resource/requirements mismatch? I guess it depends how they got shafted, and who you're trying to tell.

stock market dipped today. check notes for why… because an AI generated fake image of a Pentagon explosion was retweeted by a fake Bloomberg account with a paid blue check and RT’d by more blue checks. AWESOME! /s

Every study ever: Overworked employees are less productive. Employees who work from home are just as productive as employees who work in the office. The evidence is indisputable. Managers: I see. But I have a hunch that the complete opposite is true.

Sudden flashback to age 10 or so, hearing the phrase "queer as a three dollar bill" from Aunt Mark, getting mad as heck, and insisting the phrase should be changed to "queer as a two dollar bill" because two dollar bills are unusual but actually exist and are legal tender.

Game industry job postings are the weirdest, worst things. “Requirements: Must be able to help our game achieve GOTY status” like uh. Okay? I’ll put that skill on my resume next to “able to win the lottery” and “can release a game before it will have started production”

Grrrrr! Trying to get payment from a US vendor. Their form wouldn't submit unless I had a US phone number. Thank fuck for Google Voice! Oh, and it's a good thing that I remembered "my" zip code is 90210. Why don't Americans accept that the rest of the world exists? (Rhetorical question. Doesn't actually require you to explain anything.)

Moments I lean towards "there's probably a greater than average degree of autistic traits in this brain": obsessing over making sure I have exactly the right process for making enchiladas — a dish firmly in the "pinch of this, splash of that, cook until it's done" category.

If I end up leaving tech, it's 100% going to be the people that does it. And the industry as a whole, but I definitely stay in spite of that. I'll probably leave when I realize that the majority of tech will use every and any in favor of capitalism (and their own platform). (https://jacky.wtf/2023/5/aEyb)

it seemed like a good idea during lockdown because I was at home anyway and I already memorized my card number but then lockdown started to lift and I had to physically hand my car to people at restaurants and places and that… became a problem

‘The whole thing stinks’: UK water firms to pay £15bn to shareholders as customers foot sewage bill - https://theguardian.com/money/2023/may/20/the-whole-thing-stinks-uk-water-firms-to-pay-15bn-to-shareholders-as-customers-foot-sewage-bill it's simple: no dividends until the infrastructure is upgraded, and no price rises. if investors don't like it, they can move elsewhere. investors do not have an inviolable right to dividends; the public does have a right to rivers and seas without sewage - if companies can't do this, nationalise them
