Real leaders would take the time to understand why someone doesn’t like them, do a little self reflection to see if it’s either a valid point or just a perception issue, and then work to fix the issue if there is one. If it’s just a person who just doesn’t like them but is good at their job, just ignore it. If they are truly not a good fit or just a bad actor who just thrives in negativity, then you either find a better fit for them or then you fire them.

I’m very much a pleaser type personality but if someone doesn’t like me for whatever reason, I don’t really sweat it if it doesn’t affect me personally. Most people like me but not everyone and that’s ok. This constant need to be surrounded by yes men and sycophants is just disturbing.

Not a developer per se (mostly virtualization, architecture, and hardware) but AI can get me to 80-90% of a script in no time. The last 10% takes a while but that was going to take a while regardless. So the time savings on that first 90% is awesome. Although it does send me down a really bad path at times. Being experienced enough to know that is very helpful in that I just start over.

In my opinion AI shouldn’t replace coders but it can definitely enhance them if used properly. It’s a tool like everything. I can put a screw in with a hammer but I probably shouldn’t.

Well it was kinda my first thought.

Haven’t really heard anything about her recently and then all of a sudden she says something bat shit crazy…. Yep that checks out.

She sure seems to a habit of this.

It might have some side effects of affecting more than just the military, but codified right to repair into law is never going to be a bad thing IMO.

This is really going to confuse MAGA. Pro-military but anti-corporate profits…

<grabs popcorn>…

As an American even I don’t want to leave because I’m very critical of this administration and god forbid they’d somehow connect me with my online persona. I just don’t want the pain they could cause. I don’t “think” they could deport me (50s very white male) but who the fuck knows at this point. Gravy seals that are cosplaying as some military elite in their tacticool gear are just snatching people off of the street.

That would have at least been entertaining. Racist yes, but on brand for him.

I’m terrible with names. I fully admit it. But if I forget a name I just ask “what was his name again?” or something along those lines. A normal person would just keep saying “the prime minister”, or I don’t know, just make the effort to remember the names of major world leaders since it’s your fucking job. Not Mr. Japan OR Tim Apple.

Why some people think he’s intelligent is beyond me.

If someone calls themselves an “influencer“ I immediately want to punch them in the face.

Yeah most of the content I watch is still useful years later. Now it may not be super current since tech changes so fast, but still useful. If you have to stay in someone’s face all the time to stay memorable, you’re not memorable or relevant.

Oh for fucks sake…. How can one woman be some incredibly dense?

She probably heard somewhere that is why there were flash floods in Texas because some evil genius is punishing “real Americans”.

The ironic thing is the GOP constant bashing of clean, renewable energy and promoting fossil fuels and coal really is affecting the weather, just not in a very predictable or controlled way.

If it splits the republican party and removes the old white billionaires from the dems than I’m 100% for it.

Bison.

I remember these.…

And …

And…

You mean like we all did if you’re like me and started writing code in late 80s to mid 2000s?

Fucking amateurs…

I have this printed on a sign at work.

Yep totally agree. And I also like boobies.

Ok I have problems with these cutoffs for ages. My wife is 57 (1967) and is very definitely a gen x’er.

Until the fetus can survive on its own it is a parasite.

Wait… no I’m pretty sure that might still be the case when they graduate college and can’t get a job as well.
