I could but I’d still be getting the same Firefox which has a nagging incentive to cooperate with advertisers and google. The benefit of having to pay for software is that their revenue stream comes directly from me and not from a 3rd party. It’s not about supporting the developer for me, it’s about knowing that the product I pay for is the product I get

If its an application I run locally, I rarely grep logs (they’re small enough that I can just ctrl+f). If it’s something running in production with millions of lines of logs, then I agree

I wish all the logs at my company were as beautiful as these terminal logs

Sure, look at their personal projects. I’m just saying the maintainability and quality of the code and speed of iteration is more of the point than how impressive the math is behind an ML algorithm. I’ve just seen a lot of ML engineers/data scientists who really suck at writing maintainable code

I got a simple Casio for my birthday and I don’t think I’ll ever need another watch, unless I lose this one. People say “oh it tracks how many steps I took today”, but I don’t know why I would need to know that information

I know I’m in the minority but I would pay yearly to use Firefox. Not sure how much I’d pay, but I am getting into the habit of purchasing software instead of allowing it to purchase me

I honestly don’t think that doing these cool things improves your odds of getting hired. Junior Devs don’t really touch these parts of a platform, let alone lead development on them from scratch.

A valuable engineer, to me, is someone who writes clean, maintainable code and follows common patterns. That’s also something which has to be learned by trial and error to actually see the value of.

I literally have no clue what the point of these devices is

I am absolutely not trying to antagonize you. I’m sorry that you interpreted it that way

When did I say that? Point out one single line that even remotely implies this. Flagrant strawman. What else would you call it?

Perhaps, I dunno, a misunderstanding?? Why do you assume everyone is out to get you? Why do you interpret everything as hostility?

How do you intend to pay for a search engine without signing in to it and having it track your search history?

Read my comment again, because I neither accused you of anything nor reduced your argument. I’m not the original poster you replied to

Maybe. They use several other indexes as their backend so they have to pay microsoft for every search

So you won’t pay for a subscription to use a search engine. Do you prefer the model that other search engines use where they take the content of your searches and use it to advertise to you?

It’s because you have to pay for the search engine. They dont serve ads

Gross

Yes (Chad face)

Terrible website with some legitimately hilarious but completely unironic posts from what I can only surmise are the human equivalent of NPCs. Still, I don’t spend all day reading LinkedIn crap, I just use it to communicate with recruiters. Has been useful in my career but the social aspect of it is hilarious

Fuck:

• Meta
• Google
• Amazon
• TikTok
• Reddit

And all the tech douchebags who created them. Apple and Microsoft aren’t included here because they’re not running websites that rot our fucking brains, I think
