Yep that. We are a fairly high spend customer which gives us direct access to engineering managers there. Some of the non-core products are run by what looks like two guys in a trailer protected by a layer of NDAs and finger crossing. Had s

Whilst this is a combination of user error and shitty support (not unexpected) I’ve seen Amazon directly not understand how their own lambda stuff works before. There is a pretty horrible bug in one of their higher level products that used

Correct but we are never fungible. That’s the trick for a reliable career. I’ve survived every single layoff season since 1995.

I get paid a fuck load of money to write C. Your point is? As for trends, I've been around long enough to have seen this cycle a couple of times...

This is typically what I see when I’ve seen it applied. And as always trying to hammer nails in with a banana. Rather than fit two generally disparate things together it’s probably better to just use VSTO and C# (hammer and nails) rather th

This is why you will have to pry vim and my own brain out of my cold dead hands. It’s not just the IDE but the ML model you are selling yourself to. I see my colleagues atrophy before me. I see their tools melt in their hands. I am rapidly

Well we warned him. He got paid to set it up and then paid to get rid of it so it went rather well for him but not in the way he though it was going to. Plenty of time to roll out a plan B which worked out better for him anyway.

Yep. One of my colleagues went all in on Crowdstrike a couple of years back. That went hilariously badly for him due to obvious reasons.

Stellantis are doing a wonderfully disastrous rebrand thing at the moment after finishing a previous one. They rebranded the local dealership and service centre here “stellantis and you” at great cost. No one actually seems to know who the

At least that’s interesting. There was an argument on our local net about growing strawberries. A new local ham chipped in and was told to fuck off and mind his own business. This resulted in what I assume was the new guy transmitting duck

I’m a licensed ham as well. These folk were even far outside the realm of the local racists and wife haters on 2m where I am. (One reason I stick to CW - being an asshole on there is too time consuming)

Standard CxO mentality. “I think the facts about our product might be true but I won’t say it because the shareholders and SEC will hang me when they find out it’s bullshit.” Then defer to next monkey in circus. By which time the tech press

We had a very naive version of this at a company I worked for about 25 years ago. It was called “asshole detective”. We captured about 200 user comments and dredged through them by hand and scored particular words and phrases. Then we summe

Signed up to complain about this. YT is no longer worth watching ads for. Anything that is worth paying for, the money needs to go via Patreon so the publisher isn't demonetized at a whim. The rest is brain-rot, utter shit and a lot of
