Recently in that exact situation. Junior dev vibe codes some slop to solve a problem that was barely a problem. The "solution" to that not-a-problem was 2500 lines of slop. Unused variables, spaghetti logic, unit tests that were c

You'll notice that it's always YouTube that is the target, though. People feel entitled to free YouTube as though by birthright. If someone doesn't like Netflix, they cancel and move on, they don't usually claim they de

Other micro centers have a ton of employees so I'm not surprised. They're actually knowledgeable and helpful, the opposite of what Fry's had. And they're everywhere, not in a pushy sense, but just available.
