Once tried to stop a small aircraft from rolling against a car. Upon impact the vibration in the wing knocked me over.

Next time I'll let it crash and enjoy the show.

This fella loves using his leverage manipulating people into whatever the fuck he wants them to do. The border between good and evil is so close it is nearly indistinguishible. Stay the fuck away from him if you can.

I'm scared. To have 600+ tabs open like this...

Yeah they have a fair history becoming the thing they fought against.

This is me.

I would say I'm a fairly proficient dev overall, though on this one project I had to work the frontend. It was shit. Everything was shit.

The backend was a steaming pile of crap, and all of the implications of terrible design decisions were offloaded to the frontend. The frontend became the source of every single delay as it was where all crap started to surface. They were ignoring it, so besides frontend communication was also crap. Eventually, in line with ignoring all other issues, they sacked me.

Long story short, backend devs: treat your FE devs well.

Wait wasn't this the premise of FarCry 6?

Ah yes rusted down cybertrucks on the road. That's more like the dystopian future I imagined.

Most modern software is way too complex for what it actually does.

Anytime someone starts with "it's just a fact" you can be pretty darn sure that whatever is coming isn't just a fact.

In my humble opinion all these fellas just seem to be running around like a beheaded chicken in search for the slightest amount self worth. Instead they started yearning for surrogates like wealth, power, status and what not.

The problem with these surrogates is that you cannot ever get enough of it. It'll never fill the gaping hole which is their sense of self.

Am I the only one thinking these trust tokens are not going to prevent bots from scraping websites?

Eventually, somewhere, someone will just develop the infrastructure to work their way around this, right?
