I could not believe that this is not a normal experience. If you put a poster in front of me, the words just get beamed into my brain the moment I’m see it.
But having chatted with people, there was a lot of folks who literally have to switch their brain to reading mode to actually start reading.
This guy either believes his code is god level (and has a huge ego), or just a crappy coder who can’t explain what he wrote.
Yep.
I have a habit of sending out a list of questions, even when I number it, and only get a basic response to 1-2 questions.
Same. This picture is surprisingly accurate.
Fun fact: internet explorer was originally built off the File Explorer.
I kinda stopped following programming for windows a decade ago. But in sure there is some ancient code from 30 years ago that is holding some critical files together.
Need a Explanation?

This is my neighbor all the time.
Like dude, round up!
And this is why we do The Scotty Principle
That’s the “One minute manager” bullshit. It’s literally just popping in randomly to course correct.
It’s distracting as fuck as a engineer.
Totally agree. Drives me insane with drive-by status updates.
It’s this.

Absolutely! But it also depends on the size of the company. Small companies can absolutely benefit from PMs. I used to take freelance clients as a engineer, and never accepted a job without a PM who was willing to block out the noise.
In big companies though, I have a lot of disdain for PMs.
Many literally spend their hours being the middleman between actual stakeholders. I recently had a project where the PM was just forwarding emails from one department lead to another. They didn’t understand the product or cared to follow any processes. Then distracting my team for status updates so they can build reports in Excel, so they can feed it up the chain if something was done or not.
Fortunately, our retros are heavily engineer-centric and we can give harsh feedback/fire our PMs, which we have done successfully over the past few years.
It really has been. So while I’m disappointed at the results, there is a relief that at least this part is over. And now we are in the eye of the storm.
I was thinking about this recently. I’m not disagreeing that there isn’t massive bot bullshit.
But I purposely stayed off the internet for like 48 hours. Many of my friends did too.
There’s trolleys in my city. I love them riding on their little tracks and I go choo choo.
Having slept in a train bed that has a bathroom and was 3 doors down from a kitchen, it’s wild that we looked at a car and went, “That’s what I want.”
I didn’t watch the video but who is this stuff for?
If I was a Microsoft fan, why click?
If I was a Linux fan, the thumbnail is all I need.
I plan to catch up on a grindy game!
Whatever America is up to can wait because I gotta get my hero to max level and get all the achievements.
I woke up today and at the team meeting, my company literally asked about roadmaps and to start planning for them.
Bro, I’m panic snacking right now you want me to what?
I read this as “No Pronoun Problems” and was like, dayyum, Two Face got my vote. Hell yeah de-gender those bathrooms in the Two-Face Goon cave.
Yep.
Tech companies have extreme “Fuck You” money. They have learned a lot from the past two decades of Antitrust acts.
That politician is either going to quickly change their mind with some bribes, or watch their entire life disappear with an army of lawyers or paid off peers shutting them down.
