Looking for money, somewhere, anywhere, as long as it’s hard currency. They’re running out of fake collateral.

It’s missing a /s for some people but it’s exactly the attitude.

Tech ran out of new ideas over a decade ago. They’ve enshittified everything. The people are tired of it.

He’s a symptom, not the disease.

I want to see him and his corrupt family rotting the rest of their lives in a prison.

Lunchtime video games.

But also SharePoint, virtual. Bloated crap.

I was issued a laptop with 32GB for standard office work. 15 years ago our devs had 128GB. Of course, that was before COVID and AI insanity.

Lane keep drives me of the fucking road when it’s sunny and the cameras can’t see straight.

Automatic braking loses it because of shadows but misses the goddamn elk.

I really love adaptive cruise, but i can see how many people (especially with lane centring) tune out - and make it a liability.

What most people don’t do is drive many vehicles. The difference between safety features on cars - and it’s not always price that is the differentiator - is staggering. Stability control isn’t the same between a Toyota and a BMW. Not halfway. A $90,000 GM and a $15,000 smart car are generations apart - the smart wins, at least on traction control. Unfortunately it’s not easy to test all these features empirically.

It’s no wonder people turn it off.

A former manager had team lunches every month. It wasn’t mandatory but it was a day that we could go in and team members would be there. It was also not a day taken up with general business update meetings and the like, so we could get work done.

The key is ensuring that people know when they can go in and see other people they know, not just the marketing team.

HR drone always talks about how nice it is to see everyone collaborating in the office when we come in for quarterly meetings.

Nobody is getting work done. We’re all “collaborating” about sportsball or coffee machines or whatever it is, or just trying to tune it out. It’s a full day of productivity lost for nearly everyone there. Not to mention the early rise for a commute, cost of the commute, missed workouts, and exhaustion on the return home.

100x, in much the same way that a team of 100 interns will. AI useful but lacking context.
