for me it's not just exhausting, at this point it's demotivating and it makes me dread interacting with this shit like imagine this being our future, I don't know what we're even doing anymore

in the gaming community there's infinite amounts of cheat devs, mods, leaks like this, etc. it's not like regular stuff where companies just sue you left and right, this stuff is hard to pursue and usually not worth it it can get

this is just false...

yeah but I didn't prompt it in a way where I tried to get such an answer, it gave an entire boilerplate rundown just from like me asking "what's up with the 'seams'?" I might be wrong, but usually it'd be

it's hilarious to see some people here go on about how they're proud to work so that they can be replaced I think too many just expect that they can get by like before because they're a 10x engineer or whatever

we have technology, 99.5% is embarrassing for a company like Microsoft it's 2026, not 2016 and that 40 hr may be that over 40 days you just have to randomly stop working if you depend on GHA for something and why are other services not

not really, I've ran into Github Action downtime and you can't run tests or anything so either you wait or you just let stuff merge and again don't know how this is acceptable in 2026, for a paid CI service and I'm not t

That's the smoking gun—investor relations are all about human connection seams and load-bearing relationships.

yeah strangely 50-60fps feels "unnatural" In a way? like uncanny valley sometimes?

what makes you think companies will do it the "old way" when the new way is much more economically viable? I'm not saying this as in I love it but I just don't see how we'd go back
