Why thanks. I'll change the post to this image.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

But why would that be a bad thing? 🙁

You do good work and we’re glad to have you. If no one’s being a stickler about quality, then the data decay would just get worse.

I appreciate you.

I try to be less of a stickler and more of an advocate by providing the higher quality version instead of just complaining.

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Providing instead of complaining, now that's something new.

I'm only learning who you are through context of THIS conversation. How have I never seen you before?

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Should you even expect to know who I am? It's not like I'm a celebrity or contribute to the same level as The Picard Maneuver et al.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Not a bad thing. I love your work.

As a teen I used to go snowmobiling in the winter with my friends late at night. At the time in the 90s it was boring and it got to the point where dozens of other teens would join us in a giant parade of snowmachines outside of town. There was always a small clique of older teens that led the way and we all followed them. It was fun, it was dangerous and it was something to do.

I remember being in the top fourth or fifth machine in a group one night and I didn't want to ride any more. I turned off because none of it was being done with any rules or anything, people could come and go as they pleased. As soon as I turned off, all 20 machines behind me followed me home, parked at my place and asked me if there was something going on tonight. I told them I was just going home and went inside and left them alone.

That was one of the points in my life that made me realize that people just follow whoever is in front of them without ever really realizing why.

Maybe they too just wanted to go to your home.

Stop that! I'm not Senior, just old!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

¡Hola señor!

Every time people ask me where the architecture is heading I think, "How should I know? I just graduated; someone above me will figure that out." Then I realize it's been almost 20 years and I am actually expected to know how databases work and I am one of the most senior in the department. I feel like this goose a lot.

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, it's horrible to realise it's you who are the adult now. But explains why the world is shit.

He's not the messiah!

I wish I was in that position. I never want to hear "good code is its own documentation" ever again.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Ah management.
