I work for the absolute LAZIEST engineering manager I have ever known right now. Like dude has Ages of Empires open on his desktop all day at work. He is last remaining engineer from a team long ago that created the wireless technology that put us on the map. This was maybe 15 yrs ago, he was obviously the dumbest member of that team because he is secretly hiding the fact that he can no longer get the original source code to compile and he is slowly running out of ways to bullshit around it. We are now owned by a VC so upper management could not care less, but this guy creates tech debt out the wazoo! Him and the 20 yr old EE make changes to firmware, PCBs, mechanical designs CONSTANTLY and dont document any of it. it is crazy. They break production all the time. Nothing is documented, basic assembly, programming and test documentation for production is a decade old, if it even exists. They just do not give a shit, the engineering manager is already checked out, and his protege has never even seen what a good company looks like, or what engineering design control is. I feel really bad for whatever company gets suckered into buying us as that is the only concern of the VC, cut costs (primarily labor by laying a bunch of people off) as much as possible to make the company look good. Whoever buys us is going to be in for huge surprise! lolol

Technical debt is very real and can complete fuck companies.

Who else read this in Patric Stewarts voice?

That’s not my narrative at all. What I am saying these people CHOSE to work at meta, hense are likey devoid corporate moral standings and would likely get swooped up by the next shitty company that wants to treat humans like profit cattle and since they’re STILL at meta, they would likely be okay with it. I’m not generalizing about high skill workers, I’m shitting on people who work at meta.

What a bunch of BS. Yeah, I’m sure people working at FACEBOOK are destitute and have no options for any other jobs or employment, they’re completely unskilled and just have no fucking options. /S with a CAPITAL S

Fucking disgusting. The people making these decisions should be responsible for every person this causes harm too.

Wow, what a way with words… Deadbedroom? Love it.

100%. It is always better to know. I think that’s what draws us all to this place.

At the same time, fuuuuuck man. 😔

I think capitalism is humanities terminal illness.

So much potential wasted.

Why did you have to shatter the small bit of perceived relief I had!!??

Oh a simpler time. When nothing needed to update, billion/trillionaires didn’t exist, and no one was trying to steal every normal of your data to rip you off and con you politically. I miss riding bikes till the street lights came on.

Idk, that’s pretty snazzy too!

InGlassDeedLinkDoorIn? Really rolls of the tongue lol.

Couldn’t communities desiced themselves if they want their forums to be indexed?

I wonder what the active dev community on Lemmy looks like? These are problems that could potentially have solutions?

Nice! I have a similar build! I recently discovered proxmox and now have my home assistant, Plex server, and a full arr stack up on it. I should look into automated backing up of photos 🤔. Turns out, hording all my old gaming PC hardware was the right call. With component prices these day it feels like a small fortune having extra hardware, drives, and ram laying around! (The wife finally agrees lol 🤣)

I knew it was the beginning of the end when they dropped the free API access. Corporate enshitification.

I did not know what Lemmy was a couple weeks ago. Reddit pushed me out. I don’t want to be logged in or have an account with the way they harvest data. I got tired of weekly rotating ublock origin scripts and using incognito mode. You don’t want me if I’m not a willing data whore? Fine, I’m gone! I am now actively trying to NOT even look at reddit when a random Google search sends me there!
