there's always been hucksters in our industry, to be sure, but the sheer level of "we don't care about the extreme harm this is causing" has been particularly glaring with the last 3-4 cycles (cryptocurrency, NFTs, metaverse, and now genAI, all scams, all destructive AF beyond anything before them)

I'm just kind of amazed that the past ~8 years or so of the tech industry have been basically reduced to a series of absolute fucking scams that opportunists latch on to as get-rich-quick schemes, no matter the cost to people, or the planet, and I just assume that's what we're gonna be going forward

good morning, we live in hell

Please for the love of fuck when you design multiple blonde characters could ONE OF THEM HAVE BROWN EYES INSTEAD OF BLUE? HELL, I'LL EVEN TAKE GREEN.

Finally completely wiped everything and reinstalled the OS on my previous-job laptop that they let us keep (2023 M3 Pro)

Oh hey a job I applied for and interviewed and got ghosted after an interview with the hiring manager back in December just showed back up on Indeed. Cool. Sounds like hiring is going well.

One of my biggest issues with live coding assessments is I'm trying to focus and mentally grok the assignment/existing code/some docs and then they interrupt my thought process and it's like ahhhhhHHHHHH I'M NOT STUCK I JUST AM TRYING TO READ MY WHOLE THOUGHT PROCESS IS NOW GONE

Failed another technical assessment. Might kms

Toast is my baby boy and Cheese is my little man

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Anthropic is like "please don't use our products to make autonomous killing machines" and the US government is like "YOU BETTER LET US MAKE AUTONOMOUS KILLING MACHINES OR YOU'LL BE SORRY!!" Again: Do not create products without knowing how the worst people on the planet will use it.

Music Question Friday: Hey, Who Sings That? Edition: Give me a track that's your karaoke go to. Whether you're a karaoke night person or just someone who belts their favorites in the car or shower or whatever, that track where you just know you can just nail those lead vocals.

me, interviewing: my watch: ABNORMAL HEART RATE DETECTED!!!!!!

I really think Opus No. 1 deserves it's own Wikipedia page instead of being part of Music on Hold.

I'm really glad the people doing my interview today noticed that I WASN'T ON THE MEETING INVITE

I HAVE A STRUCTURED SETTLEMENT BUT I NEED CASH NOW

Today I learned Old School Runescape and I share a birthday (not year though) #OSRS

The JG Wentworth ad with the viking opera singers in the roller rink makes no sense and I love it so much

Why is falling asleep on the couch so satisfying?

Blerr can't shake the anxiety today

My birthday just brings me dread and anxiety not for getting older just...idk I guess I associate it with disappointment

Bruhhh I'm so glad we rent cause like everything in this house has broken since we moved in. Dishwasher was replaced already and now the freezer ain't freezin.

it's honesty a little weird to me to see people who are hostile to ai in art and writing, but openly advocating it for things like code it kinda feels like a value judgement, "this isn't worth my time" or maybe perhaps "it's cool to exploit people writing code but art is where i draw the line"
