I'm not sure how the quality can possibly go any lower

When I need performance I just use sublime text. I wish I could have stuck with sublime text, but vs code just had too many extensions I needed.

I don't understand how it works out for them though. Hiring is so much more expensive than retaining staff, not just the higher salary, but the loss of productivity from losing someone with institutional knowledge and needing to train the new person which can take a really long time to get them up to speed.

Sometime who's hired that many people would understand how job hunting works more. If you've worked at 3 FANG companies in 3 years, you're not quitting your job then interviewing, you're interviewing while you're employed and only quitting when you've secured the next job. Also, with a beefy resume like that, companies will be reaching out to you to poach you, and in those cases they can't complain about the work history because they're the ones trying to steal you away.

I like Magma better (Meta, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon). I know Google is under alphabet but it's still the main company. And Netflix isn't really cutting edge anymore, so I'd put Microsoft above them tech wise.

But most importantly, magma just sounds cool.

When they started treating employees and disposable cogs to be exploited.

Seriously, nobody is going to remember you. Like 3 generations down, you'll even be a tiny blip in your descendents world. Even most billionaires will be remembered through an encyclopedia entry and nothing else.

How's it risky? Normally you secure the next job before quitting.

I have no idea what level of proficiency you had in mind.

That would be a good thing for historians so they'll be able to know for a fact that we had nothing interesting to say.

I am so sick of that whole "hardware is cheap" excuse for wasting resources.

When you're developing a flagship AAA game for the Switch you can't use that excuse since you're stuck with 6 year old mobile hardware.

I was about to say that It's the only one, but then I remembered Alice in Borderlands was great too. The anime was just a 3 episode OVA that I heard wasn't great so dunno if it counts.

Still, it's extremely rare that a live action adaptation is even watchable let alone good.

I've done massive updates on Linux, sometimes it asks me to restart when it's done, but I've never been forced to, I don't think, unless I'm updating to a whole new version of the OS.

I want to have been there for when badwater basin was named.

"There's some water in this here basin"

"Yuup, but it's Bad."

I think that's how the dreams started, but then my mind tried to rationalize why I was there and then decided that I must have missed some credits and needed to make them up

I grew up with windows and it's sloppy implementation of a lot of things is a big reason why I got into computers because it let me fuck around with things under the hood easily. I remember messing around with the registry to do things that you couldn't edit in the settings guis.

It's hyperbole

I'm trying to figure out why I keep having dreams where I find out I somehow accidentally didn't finish high school and have to go back to finish it to validate my college degree, but I didn't go to class all year and I'm trying to figure out how I can pass.

The 10x thing is ridiculous. The highest you can get is 7.3x.
