I guess they’ve never heard of the Streisand effect in China.

Wow you’re making some absolutely WILD assumptions about what the poster believes, and in generalizing it to the populous. You’d win Olympic gold in long-jumping-to-conclusions with the distance of that jump.

Strangely applies to American police, too

Edit:
upon reflection, this sounds like I think white cops are better. What I meant to say is that the white cops are just gonna shoot you so gg.

I’m super skeptical of this.

You don’t get oxygen toxicity, even breathing pure oxygen, unless you’re under significantly more pressure than atmospheric pressure…

So either this graphic is wrong/misleading, or the atmosphere was more than double current pressure for most of earth’s history… Which I’m pretty skeptical of.

Pump the brakes.

She isn’t saying that she doesn’t know about photosynthesis. She is saying she didn’t understand what the child was actually asking about.

There is a world of difference between knowing the answer and understanding the question, especially if the question was asked by someone who doesn’t even really know what they’re trying to ask either.

IMO I think that’s more a reflection of business decisions rather than innate programmer skill.

Programmers used to do that because they had to do that, so the businesses valued it. Now they don’t have to do that, so businesses don’t allow them room to develop those skills.

I think that rate that people actually developed unnecessary skills outside of work likely remains the same, just the skills that people desire are different to the ones from back then.

I’ve not been a dev for that long, but I’ve been a dev for 15y or so. For the most part it seems to me like that is an effect of business decisions; workers will learn the skills that get recognized. Which skills those are has changed over time.

I don’t see older devs have that quality particularly more then younger devs, what I see is businesses that don’t value that type of behavior. And having worked with “wild West cowboy” coders before, the businesses may be right; they often make a real mess things and just rely on other people to clean up after them.

From what I’ve seen, there are lots of young people who invest in themselves and have passion for the craft, when the business allows them room to grow and doesn’t treat them like a code-producing machine.

That’s true, but that’s also just the general populous, who weren’t ever contributing to open source anyways.
I don’t think the quality of coders (professional or hobby) has really declined that much.

Young people today are struggling to make ends meet - they don’t have enough comfort and free time to be able to donate their labor.

That’s not agile.

It’s not bad, it’s just not agile. Agile exists for projects where that simply isn’t possible. Its sacrificing a bit of potential best-case productivity to ensure you don’t get worst-case productivity.

The problem is that people realized that they could sell agile training to middle management if they changed it to be about making middle managers feel empowered and giving progress visibility to upper management.

It was the other company CEO with dubious ties.

Wait… Who is “it” in “it’s CEO”??? Which CEO has ties?

I guess I’ll have to actually read the article.

Oh this is neat. I wonder if the license will accommodate my work (and my work is willing to allow a nonstandard diff)

We both have issues. But as I said, at least I have a modicum of self-awareness.

I don’t expect you to go back and check, but I think you know that’s not how the hostility started.

Anyways, I’ll lay off now unless you ask a question or say something wildly out of line, but I’d like to part with this: your take here doesn’t seem to align with other things you’ve said in your (public) comment history on your (public) profile. We’re all forced to play the capitalist game, but you’re not going to be rewarded for this kind of devotion to your boss.

Sorry for catching you in your hypocrisy? 🤷

How do you reconcile what you’re saying here with your anti-billionaire stance on your other comments? Sometimes someone needs to hold up a mirror.

Only to fascists and bigots.

You talk like a bootlicker. At least I have a modicum of self-awareness.

No, you’re right. Being fun at a party of techbros is totally a sign of superiority and not at all a sign of sociopathy 🤮

Tbf you’re probably not a terrible person, but that is a bad take. Rejecting someone based entirely on education, and not allowing for other factors (as is implied), is just bad for both your company and society.

Let me rephrase, to make myself crystal clear, because you didn’t get the tactful approach: that’s a shitty filter. By excluding people without a degree, you’re saying that ability to afford university for 4 years is more important than skill, experience, or knowledge.

It shows that you’re ignorant. It shows that your company has a toxic workplace.

It’s probably one of the dumbest flexes I’ve ever seen.
