He's got the vibe of a guy who once lost a pull-up contest and had his ego severely damaged over it. So he went home and trained on nothing but pull-ups for years until he got really good at them. And now he goes around challenging everyone to pull-up contests, insists that pull-ups are the superior form of exercise, crashes school board meetings demanding that kids be required to do a certain number of pull-ups in order to graduate, and advocates for this bizarre idea of tying voting rights to how many pull-ups you can do.
Like, we get it. You like pull-ups. A lot. You think they're important. But not everybody does, and certainly not enough to serve as a basis for voting rights.
He should be happy we don't have political power tied to some other person's stupid niche hobby. Like owning real estate.
I ain't been out anywhere damn near long enough for them to now try to make sundresses some kinda symbol of patriarchal domesticity cult bullshit. I'm trans, I'm out, and if the sun's out too, I'm wearing a sundress. Goddammit.
Imagine the incentives tho. It's free real estate, but how would they sell it to advertisers? "Here's some ad space, but we work really hard to make sure users see it as rarely as possible."
But if they do manage to sell it, the dev team then has this wacky incentive to trigger BSODs often enough to hit revenue targets, but rarely enough that they don't drive away their user base. As another commenter put it, cynical and absurd, but... I mean, there's a universe where it could happen... hopefully it's not this one.
I am sort of in this position as well. The day-to-day can get way too busy at times, so I get burned out fairly often, but I'm still sticking around. I'm loyal to the team like you said, but there's a variety of other reasons as well. I appreciate the mission, it's a good fit for my skills, I have a decent amount of flexibility in my schedule, and on and on. Also... I really hate looking for jobs. So I'll probably put that off for as long as I can.
Any job will have its mix of pros and cons. You have to make a call based on what matters to you.
