This has been my experience in San Francisco over the past 15 years. The techbro types, who see technology as a way to get rich, often share the same worldview that life is about “winning” and in this business you “win” if you are smarter than others, so therefore since they are “winning”, they are smart and deserve everything they get (or… take). But, that mentality and their behavior and the culture it creates can often influence humble, empathetic people into that toxic self-hype cycle.

I saw plenty of those today in SF

Oh sure, let me just check with Charlie Ki- oh wait

White dude in software here to echo the same sentiment. So many of my colleagues have never experienced any hardship of their own or viewpoints of people with different experiences. They don’t think about how their privilege has helped them get where they are, and how their company culture often subtly (at best!) reinforces their worldview and massages their egos. They’ve never tried to think critically about their “meritocracy” or “libertarian” beliefs and how many people are unjustly excluded from the lifestyle they enjoy.

20 years in software development for me.

Maybe I’ll regret asking, but what could “haiku-level brilliant” even mean?

If a sentence or headline ends with “Trump Says” you can disregard it

Edit: at best you can infer the opposite. But mostly they are information-free.

I have 37TB of media and another 10 in the download queue waiting for storage to be freed up. Which probably would equate to tens of thousands of torrents (or nzbs in my case). So it was absolutely worth my time

Ah, the Costanza defense

Can I get unavailable AI overviews for all my searches? Then Google has a chance to be usable again

I use it for work so it felt natural to do it at home too. If anyone has time to learn it as a hobby and doesn’t mind a challenge, I recommend it. But IMO you need to already be familiar with a lot of containerization concepts

I use k3s and argocd to keep everything synced to the configuration checked into a git repo. But I wouldn’t recommend that to someone just getting started with containers; kubernetes is a whole new beast to wrestle with.

“lug around”? the server(s) are 100% in a data center, no way this is a single computer on prem. no company, especially facebook, deploys software that way in 2025

It’s far worse than that- he’s saying it’s a just war, as in, justified. For justice.

Yes the west is also exploiting his death to cause division

Has the meaning of the (((parens))) been updated to mean only zionists or is it still how hatemongers cast aspersions on Jewish people?

That’s how we know not to do it anymore

Knowledge tells you it’s safe to push to prod in Fridays. Wisdom tells you not to. Experience raises your heart rate at the very thought (though, that might actually be ptsd)

Yes, definitely wait til they start killing people. Condemnation will surely work wonders then
