The videos on that channel are so good that they're painful to watch, when you realize how closely it matches the life you're living. This one is my favorite (or "least favorite" depending on how hard it hits on any given day): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYvhC_RdIwQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYvhC_RdIwQ I feel like the people doing that channel could write a very effective modern Office Space.

I watched that multiple times after delivering a big feature I had to crunch on late last year. Of course my reward was a”meets expectations “ modest raise.

The most recent one, "Leadership Sync", pops into my head in pretty much every meeting I've had in the last two weeks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RAMRukKqQg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RAMRukKqQg

  I instead use words like "meet", "create", or other concrete and discrete <verb-action> and try to otherwise avoid the managerial douche buzzwords IRL. I submit it's unnecessary and pointlessly toolish to use such phrasing and lingo. People who speak that way deserve judgment; it's lazy and the buzzwords are variations on low entropy / meaningless vagaries.

it is insane to me that this channel is being discussed today because literally 2 days ago it was recommended to me on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8OnoxKotPQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8OnoxKotPQ

  It is very much inside jokes for professionals in the tech industry. Very underrated gem

This video is hilarious (like many on that channel). What cracks me up is the little jokes you can miss unless you pause some frames, like "...but not before I read my blogs" --> "What Ancient Mayans Can Teach You About Living Your Best Life" "and journal about creativity" --> "sleep retrospective, epiphanies: 0"

  The production value is just immaculate. Every frame is so clearly meticulously constructed to portray the emptiest imaginable life. A man going nowhere at maximum speed, really more of an absence than a man. It's so very close to being too painful to be funny, and I've never even believed in the grind. Just pity for a wretched soul.

    Probably the most production value they put into a video was their Virtual Coachella one https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=67sfZfreOrU https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=67sfZfreOrU Which has way fewer views than it deserves, possibly for algorithm reasons because it was given a cease & desist by actual Coachella https://mobile.twitter.com/EFF/status/1373006482397032449 https://mobile.twitter.com/EFF/status/1373006482397032449

      Virtual Coachella is a hilarious take on a dystopian hellscape (not far from our present time). I love it. Like a Black Mirror episode, only condensed so that every single second is brilliant and packed with jokes.

      They have so many other good ones - “Microservices”, “Senior Engineer”, “Ballmercon”, “Computertime with Gooch” are still my favourites.
