Holy cow! I came here to talk about how Glocks are like Honda Civics too!

I like you.

Right? The way this post is written...

11 shots of tequila + car = bad

11 shots of tequila + walking home = bad

11 shots of tequila + at home while juggling knives = I dunno might be fine

I want his defeat to be written in history books. I want his name to be remembered in history the way we remember Darwin Awards winners.

This guy is pure lead brains.

Working in open-source, frequent issues do end up being future feature requests.

JD Vance walks into a supermarket: "Excuse me, how long have you worked here? Can you provide me a basket of groceries? Put in what's reasonable."

Trump eating steak? Nah. Still too sophisticated.

This is a guy who bought Fast Food as a celebration.

Here's the idiot eating McDonald's while visiting Japan's Prime Minister.

It worked with school shooting!

Years of thoughts and prayers have now made this a normalized event! . (Quietly dies inside)

I took it as software engineers tend to build for scalability. And yep, IT often isn't prepared for that or sees it as wasted resources.

Which isn't a bad thing. IT isnt seeing the demands the manager/customer wants.

I'm glad you've done both because yeah, it's a seesaw.

If IT provisions just enough hardware, we'll hit bottlenecks and crashes when there's a surprise influx of customers. If software teams don't build for scale, same scenario, but worse.

From the engineer perspective, it's always better to scale with physical hardware. Where IT is screaming, "We dont have the funds!"

Accurate!

Developers are frequently excited by the next hot thing or how some billionaire tech companies operate.

I'm guilty of seeing something that was last updated in 2019 and having a look of disgust.

This is like saying before you can be a writer, you need to understand latin and the history of language.

. I think to be a good software developer it helps to know what's happening under the hood when you take an action.

There's so many layers of abstractions that it becomes impossible to know everything.

Years ago, I dedicated a lot of time understanding how bytes travel from a server into your router into your computer. Very low-level mastery.

That education is now trivia, because cloud servers, cloudflare, region points, edge-servers, company firewalls... All other barriers that add more and more layers of complexity that I don't have direct access to but can affect the applications I build. And it continues to grow.

Add this to the pile of updates to computer languages, new design patterns to learn, operating system and environment updates...

This is why engineers live alone on a farm after they burn out.

It's not feasible to understand everything under the hood anymore. What's under the hood grows faster than you can pick it up.

Rough and that sucks for your organization.

Our IT team would rather sit in a room with developers and solve those problems, than deal with hundreds of non-techs who struggle to add a chrome extension or make their printer icon show up.

Absolutely agree, as a developer.

The devops team set up a pretty effective setup for our devops pipeline that allows us to scale infinity. Which would be great if we had infinite resources.

We're hitting situations where the solution is to throw more hardware at it.

And IT cannot provision tech fast enough within budget for any of this. So devs are absolutely suffering right now.

"Well damn! Scissor me timber girl! Let's duck under the table and 69!"

Conservatives: Liberals always think about race and only voting for her because she's a black woman. They should vote for the person qualified.

Also conservatives: I do not want that black bitch in my mailbox.

Sometimes managers do guilt trip.

Shitty manager: "Oh you're taking a few days off to go to a funeral? Now Sarah has to work overtime... :-("

A dumb employee would then try to reduce your PTO time to make it work, because they're too stupid to realize that it's the manager's responsibility, not theirs.

Oh, and the manager is paid significantly more than them.

After her performance ended at 10:00 p.m. local time, Grimmie signed autographs inside the venue. At 10:24 p.m., she was approached by 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl. She opened her arms to hug him. Loibl then pulled out his Glock pistol and shot her three times at point-blank range.

This is so messed up. She went to hug a fan.

The open-source side of WordPress is pretty pissed off at Matt right now. The Slack is heavily downvoting/disliking all of this.

Dude had a fucking power boner.

He saw a tired teenager who was bothering nobody as an opportunity to wave his dick around.
