A guy I work with has a dad who likes Star Trek (well some of it lol)

Saying "There's no such thing as a gay Klingon"

I was surprised my response caught him out when I said "There's no such thing as a Klingon."

I just don't get why there's so much toxicity nowadays

A lot of local libraries have decent movie collections. Some will be able to request titles from other regional libraries too!

Bluesky is successful because it consists entirely of elder millennials, who are the only generation to learn how to successfully navigate the web and who understand the internet only has two worthwhile utilities:

1. Piracy
2. Shitposting

Some of us switched to bidets. The pennies the plumber pulled out of the line don't quite cover the service costs, though.

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

if their results are improving? this is fine

if their spend is impacting other members of the team? probably have them review their approach with a senior dev

if the powers above have an issue? ask for more budget since it was corporate that pushed this onto the team in the first place

If you donโ€™t see the utility personally, I can get that. If I wasnโ€™t coding I probably wouldnโ€™t either.

If youโ€™re worried about its downsides, join the club. A lot of us are too.

But no matter what your take is, take it seriously. This shit isnโ€™t crypto.

Code is poetry.
The screen, a canvas. Alas,
some devs are Vogons.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareโ€™s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

They say AI is the end for developers.
They say the job market is gone.
They say learning to code is pointless.

I donโ€™t buy it.

I think we're just getting started.
