Look at that young whippersnapper. I had one for my discman.

Thing is, you don’t even have to be in a union to get the benefit of other industries having them. They raise the bar for everyone.

The implausible part about Homer’s job wasn’t the salary, it was the fact that he was in charge of safety at a nuclear plant despite being completely unqualified. Lenny and Carl both have Masters’ Degrees in Nuclear Science.

Sure, I’m just bemoaning the fact that you’ve taken cloud hosting to be the default. It’s as much a complaint about the world in general as anything specific to you. Good luck with it all.

I’m old enough to consider the framing of the question to be weirdly loaded.

It does not feel that long ago where people would be asked to justify entrusting their product’s functions and data to a bunch of strangers who can make unilateral decisions about your service with zero comeback. Now we’re being asked to justify not doing that.

Commerce isn’t the same thing as capitalism.

A significant percentage of developers regard frontend dev as a branch of the Arts, and therefore not “proper” software engineering.

I once had a fresh grad Junior complain to me about being given a frontend ticket, because they wanted to be writing Real Code and apparently thought they were too good to learn how to change the margin on a div.

Your life can be so much better if you get over the notion of having to own things. Almost every luxury out there can be enjoyed without having to own it, as long as you’re able to discard the consumerist propaganda that you’ve not enjoyed it properly unless you can take it home.

The giant jpeg square artefact on the side of Homer’s head in the first frame undermines the message somewhat.

I usually screenshot it in place with alt-print screen, paste it into paint, crop it to size, and save

My LinkedIn has recently become flooded with Suggested Posts from 3rd degree connections who have “Vibe Coding Guru” listed as their job and post lots of stuff saying “people who mock Vibe Coding just don’t get it, and you too will be left behind if you don’t subscribe to my newsletter (which ChatGPT writes for me)”

I had a look at the supposed “false and defamatory statements” that the UKLFI claimed the Co-op made, and it’s such a weaksauce mix of pedantry over minor points plus heaps of unsourced speculation peppered with weasel words that it’s almost comically bad. Even their own defence of Israel is damning.

I got into a long debate with someone who wouldn’t accept my claim that pi is 3.

My reasoning was that 3 is accurate to the number of decimal places it’s quoted to, which is all you ever can say of any given value of pi. Like, pi might not be exactly 3, but it’s not 3.14159265358979323846 either, because both values still have infinity digits missing.

Everyone has that one moment when they realize just how expensive a good box is if you need to go out and actually buy one with money.
