How does this slip through the cracks? This is exactly the type of stuff I constantly find at work. Even when I’m trying to actively not find it. I don’t understand how other devs ship a high risk feature then don't…
If you use TurboTax, you are part of the problem.
There’s an interview with someone talking about Steve having an extreme melt down rage about the header not being technically centered in one spot on the Apple page. I want to see his reaction trying to type a message…
I have been pointing out these annoying things for decades with Microsoft. It’s funny because the “senior dev” know it all there person always used to have an answer. “Heh you see temp stands for temporary. Tmp stands…
Uber does extensive leetcode interviews to weed out the best of the best developers just like FAANG. How could such a bad developer have been hired with this process in place and proceed to make such an expensive bad…
I wasn’t a dev at the time but in my research of how we got here, Google started with more abstract mental discovery questions. Then people got frustrated on both ends because some people got through it by just BSing,…
I’ve been pointing to Google Maps, drive as specific but not the complete set of fantastic innovation we saw around ~2007 for how great developers used to be. I think the drift is specifically tied to the introduction…
Yes, the world will be a better place with a real email alternative. The current system does not work. I should be able to refuse emails and not get spammed with life ending phishing and malicious links around every…
It’s bots pushing another false narrative. You’ll notice this in anything around politics or intelligence the past 10+ years, with big booms around 2016 and 2024 “for some reason”
There’s a lot of stupid shit garbage on the internet that needs more blocking and nobody’s doing anything about it. Aside from bad JavaScript and css garbage and other things that are obvious and still only slightly…

All email is spam.
Remember when people wrote things online because they had something useful to say and share and that was enough? Now it’s slop factory of people having a writing quota to get enough ads because they don’t want to work.…
1. All tech discussion is irrelevant unless it’s leetcode. Don’t fill my brain with any other useless, unproductive information. 2. How much time (points) will this presentation take to get to prod. Then how many points…
IBM isn’t really a tech company anymore. More of a legal trolling company that cosplays as tech. They seem to primarily benefit from kickbacks in the form of both leasing and technical contracts for things like opening…
This is yet another thing I’ve been saying is technically feasible in a large variety of games immediately since it started happening to game sizes around 2015. I’ve had nothing except people screaming at me that I’m…
This is a direct result of using leetcode in interviews instead of any other, more legitimate tests like winning a tekken 1v1. Have you ever seen a good developer who’s not good at real video games? If companies had…
I think the current default knowledge you could expect a random average person to understand is limited to approximately the following single sentence: “A balance of diet and exercise is the key to losing weight.” This…
also gotta have every click on the page to highlight text navigate to a shopping cart subscription page and then break the back button. Clicking on a video to mute it also needs to navigate to a sponsor’s page and break…
Crime, fraud and terrorism continue to be legal.
Yep I won’t use anything with a negative self deprecating name like this. Because some tech bro will use it as a a basis to disqualify my entire resume or sabotage an interview after solving the leetcode trivia troll…
Just add an agenda. Every meeting. What is the topic. What will be covered. What decisions are being made. No deviations without a new meeting or at least they need a settling time before they become concrete and people…
This is it. We can’t have people going back and forth over chat to work out an issue. I need to start a meeting so I can monologue the portion people already understand again and then I can complete the work because my…
Every product has bizarre bloat. I understand things might get heavier over time with new features, but Office from like 20 years ago still works pretty great. In fact, I don’t even really see any new features that are…
Testing bugs is your full time job. Why should I spend my time doing it for, at best, free, but more likely pay to do so? And even then, the bug is almost always closed without fixing anyway.
