  • Nah, by the time millennials were old enough to use the internet, it was already there. Speaking as Gen X, I recall the days when you could just get stuck in a game and never figure it out. Or you’d call a pay-per-minute phone number or hope a magazine would cover it.

  • All right, I got the OK from PR. The company I work for is called Olo (stock symbol: OLO). We're not well-known because we operate behind the scenes in the restaurant industry, enabling online food orders to appear directly in our clients' POS systems rather than on a separate tablet. We do a lot more than that now, but those are our roots.

  • Sounds like classic junior engineer shit. “Let’s do a big rewrite!” Followed by everything going to shit because they don’t how to create good maintainable software architecture and for whatever reason there weren’t enough senior engineers around to show them the way.

  • Seriously, it doesn’t sound great, but it sounds about what you might expect wiring up a new UI widget in WPF or whatever the latest thing for native Windows is. Sounds like what would happen if you started developing a Windows app using the Microsoft scaffolding and never applied any kind of software architecture beyond that and it just grew and grew into a big ball of mud. Exactly what I would expect given the quality of so many of their frameworks, and I say that as a professional dotnet software engineer.

  • JFC. Even if both candidates were identical on the issue of genocide— they’re not, but even if— you still stack up and compare all their other differences and you fucking vote for the best one available, because I guarantee that we wouldn’t be talking about an impending nationwide abortion ban if Kamala had won.
