People believe weird shit everywhere, unfortunately

Edit: couldn't get Wikipedia to give me the urban legend definition and not the metal band. Changed the link

I find it chuckle worthy that half of this thread is just crying about people owning jets

Edit: also find it chuckleworthy that people brought over their downvote habits from reddit :D

You're taking my comment way too personally.

The web is still open and distributed. Its just that everyone decided to concentrate in a few areas (reddit, twitter, Facebook, etc) and the thing that excited us about the internet back in the day (the web) has become an ai generated, Chinese dropshipper ghost town or appified.

It doesn't help that more popular websites all became the legacy ui for mobile apps.

I'm also saying this as someone who doesn't really go to web forums or websites anymore and mostly uses apps for things since I'm on my phone a lot more than on a desktop or laptop when not at work.

I do go to web forums for my hobbies (brewing and growing things) but either those websites tried to optimize for mobile and became unusable on mobile or they haven't optimized at all and its like reading text for ants.

And yes you can make your own website today but the signal to noise ratio of your single website among everything else out these makes the chances of anyone visiting you remarkably low.

It is what it is

I'm mostly annoyed that the web had become a terrible ai generated dystopia within a giant mall made mostly of Chinese dropshippers.

Are your suggesting that everyone let go had years in the game? Are you suggesting everyone getting hired is entry level?

But more are getting hired

The hands are nightmare fuel

How large are we talking?

The problem is creating isos and vagrantfiles for the common denominator that can be shared via git and artifactory

Cool story. Same here. Did you want to get into an internet Snapfish at which tool has millisecond advantages over another?

That docker engine still runs in a small Linux vm.

And the m1, m2, etc chips killed the use of VirtualBox for running full fledged vms :/

VSCode is fine

Sounds exactly like atom... until they killed atom

This is exactly where I'm at in the same type of gig. I do get a bit burnt by the end of the day but by 8pm I'm just counting hours until the next day because I want to dive back into the problems I'm working on.

I feel very lucky I've found a vocation that I love and pays handsomely. It's also working for fed gov so the benefits and work life balance are insanely great. Also, work from home.

If I went into the private sector I could probably make 50k more but I'm very comfortable now and the chance of me hating my life and job working to try and make someone else rich is not appealing at all. And that's all if the company doesn't fold or get acquired.

Fuck that noise

My 2022 crv hybrid gets about the same mileage as my wife's stick shift 2012 civic!

And took an arrow to the knee

You're a person with the finer tastes in life. don't let the riffraff tell you different

Nonstop "this"

For dinner, either some kombucha I made or some water kefir i made, both carbonated with Welch's grape juice. Pretty good stuff.

After dinner, 16oz of a hazy juicy ipa I brewed last month.

I also made a bunch of wine so the wife and I have been drinking these https://www.acouplecooks.com/kalimotxo-red-wine-coke/

Fucking delicious
