  • I hate the word “woke” in general after it deviated from it’s intended cause (not by the ones that coined it of course).

    However the right wing is very smart is disguising certain things that they pretend to champion and mask it as if they’re doing people a favour. A big part of “woke” (even though they can’t put it into words) is corporate pandering. Which I don’t think the left cares for too much… but that can be stretched to mean anything to be fair. The thing is that some people can THINK they mean: shoving representation to only sell tickets but it can also fit under as hating minorities because they’re taking over. It all fits into the same umbrella.

    In any case, black people were in ancient Greece just as there were black cowboys. World was more diverse than some think.




  • Yeah, I hear people use “Stardew Valley” clone or rip-off too. Which doesn’t bother me either. Stardrew Valley is a ripoff of Harvest Moon.

    I think Palworld is more base-building and stuff than the turn-based Pokemon games that are out there – but it definitely looks more of a ripoff than the game itself leads on.





  • For the love of god, those “agents” are simply fucking markdown file! You wrote a crap document which isn’t even grammar-checked!

    I ran something on Opus 4.8 or something two weeks ago and it ignored my rules and when asked why it was like, “yeah I read it but i ignored it”

    That’s another thing about this is when they say: “tell us what PRs are bad so we can improve the process”

    None of these guys are data scientists … what are they going to do? Bloat the context? There’s reasons for why any PR isn’t acceptable and any instruction they’re secretly writing can change over time.


  • I actually agree with a lot of what you said. Software engineers didn’t want to form a union and stuff because they had high salaries and we’re so sought after. lol, to be clear, I’m not one of those crazy useful or overpaid tech guys (not anywhere close to FAANG). Although overpaid is always relative. Regardless, I think all workers should unite beyond tech … it’s the “tech bros” that are also making the world worse right now and I’m not happy these chuds are holding that moniker.


  • I’m 40 something and I didn’t make FAANG level money. I still need to work for at least a little while but I am still planning to retire early as well.

    I definitely feel for the next generation as well. Every new job I usually did my best to train the juniors and try to put them on a good career path. It seems like it was already difficult with the thirty million line problem and just how much sits in between the code can be a lot. Now add in AI and it’s just a mess :/
