it is funny as fuck, though

on which note: I would love to see a kind of "double-blind" experience where a pile of (ideally, more clever/clueful) muskrats get to interact with felon (without knowing that they are), and then watch the fallout as they all go "wtf is this dumbass I'm speaking to"

I'm thinking something in the survivor-y format of shows

probably wouldn't ever happen, felon's too fucking proud (and would 10000000% rig the game to own image advantage). but in a perfect world where this happened, oh wouldn't that just be some great television

narcissism is a fuck

this is a pithy framing, I admit, and with him as possibly a boundary-pushing narcissist with record-breaking voids inside.... still

unfortunately I don't know how to channel agraphia or pure alexia without resorting to imagery, otherwise I would have

projection belongs in cinemas and SFPs, don't go casting your misunderstandings onto me

it may be a shock to learn this, but asking people things is how you find things out from them

I know it requires speaking to humans, alas, c’est la vie

and that’s the pernicious bit: it’s not just their skillset, it also goes right to their fucking respect for their team. “I don’t care about just barfing some shit into the codebase, and I don’t think my team will mind either!”

utter goddamn clownery

 

Too tired to sneer at the book myself right now but the article doesn’t pull punches either

Figured it’s worth posting since the book author has featured here more than once recently and has definitely been an enabler to The Shit

Not entirely the usual fare, but i figured some here would appreciate it

I often rag on the js/node/npm ecosystem for being utter garbage, and this post is a quite a full demonstration of many of the shortcomings and outright total design failures present in that space

 

will this sure is gonna go well :sarcmark:

it almost feels like when Google+ got shoved into every google product because someone had a bee in their bonnet
