  • Your mother suddenly pops into existence next to you, her umbilical cord begins to materialize as the necrotic energies fueling the resurrection form her mother's outline. The priest's face is glowing like the surface of the sun, the skin peeling off and floating away in glowing motes. You realize the power of his god is flowing forth unabated and ever increasing. The symbol of Moradin, the dwarven god of creation hanging from the neck of the priest rekindles a long forgotten memory, reminding you that it was said the dwarven god of creation values automation above all else.

    You lie there paralyzed by the power of the god fueling the spell coursing through you, through your maternal ancestry and now into your great great great great grandmother who is growing an umbilical cord of her own. You can only hope that the priest's mortal frame gives out soon.

  • the highest salary I've ever seen on a tech job posting was 900K, offered by Netflix for a networking god.

    Even that guy would be broke by lunch on day 11.

    A person so singularly gifted that one of the highest paying companies on the planet had to offer that just to find them, and this fucking bag of sewer gas has that in his coat he hasn't worn since the 80's. Really makes it easy to justify hating these absolute parasites that contribute nothing and own everything.

  • It really is the best part, because he's trying to weasel out of it saying "if you want money I've got to keep the machine running to make more" but the families holding him accountable are setting his everything on fire telling him it was never about the money, and that's awesome. He was hoping greed would save his ass but here he is in the hands of people who want real justice - the dismantling of the very machine he used to do harm.

  • On a long enough timeline, all things end, and tech has hyper accelerated timelines.

    I was once interviewed by a guy who asked for my biggest failure, which was basically "favorite open source project didn't work out". He let me know he worked on an early competitor of the X windowing system and really believed in it. And we laughed about that. (He hired me).

    So yeah, I kinda agree with this job hopper guy on everything but legacy, but only because we really don't get to have a say on what our code ends up meaning to anyone. The sands of time are nothing compared to the brutality of tech stack churn.

  • Snoop wrote a song dissing him, talked shit about him for years, then worked him over and got him to pardon a bunch of dudes. Snoop's not dumb, he knows he played him and won, and that, for the sake of his friend that could possibly have his pardon revoked if the world's biggest narcissist gets a second term, needs to play it cool.

    Or, he literally is ok with dropping his beef now that the asshat is out of office, like an adult.

  • I can offer some insight. A friend of mine recently switched to the new one plus and he's finding all sorts of little things he misses from his pixel 6 pro. The background music discovery was one, as was the camera processing stuff.
