Before the largest things on the horizon were trees and perhaps the odd church or water tower. These windmills tower over anything there is on the countryside.
The point I’m trying to make here is that our definition of tall has significantly shifted over the last 20/30 years. E.g. windmill 5km away is visually still twice as high as the church tower which is 500 meters away from you.
This fella loves using his leverage manipulating people into whatever the fuck he wants them to do. The border between good and evil is so close it is nearly indistinguishible. Stay the fuck away from him if you can.
Oh yeah absolutely. The quickest way to get something done is to monkey patch another process instead.
Yeah they have a fair history becoming the thing they fought against.
This is me.
I would say I’m a fairly proficient dev overall, though on this one project I had to work the frontend. It was shit. Everything was shit.
The backend was a steaming pile of crap, and all of the implications of terrible design decisions were offloaded to the frontend. The frontend became the source of every single delay as it was where all crap started to surface. They were ignoring it, so besides frontend communication was also crap. Eventually, in line with ignoring all other issues, they sacked me.
Long story short, backend devs: treat your FE devs well.
Wait wasn’t this the premise of FarCry 6?
Ah yes rusted down cybertrucks on the road. That’s more like the dystopian future I imagined.
Most modern software is way too complex for what it actually does.
Can you explain?
I spent years writing an abstraction to be able to write shorter code… Not sure whether that was worth it 😅
I love spark for how it helps one curate their inbox. For me it made email slightly useful once again!
This is the staircase from my nightmares. There’s a door to the right as well.
