We try to discourage siloization of projects and emphasize cross-training

This is how my work has been and it allowed me to touch every part of the repo while still a junior dev and gain lots of experience. So I also like that. But lately I'm trying to specialize more and go deep into things, and I like the idea of being an expert on something. So I appreciate the trade-offs.

all bets are off with offshore contractors. Some want to learn, some simply don’t care and will do the bare minimum.

As a guy who was replaced by offshore contractors, and who hasn't had a single interview in 7 months while offshore contractors are (probably) still getting lots of work... I find this observation both heartening and disheartening.

Apparently he didn't watch the movie.

Everybody in my team gets to own something.

Oh I like this.

That works when the docs are good and clear. Otherwise, we'll have to revert to communicating with each other for brief periods while the chat-bots train themselves on the new data.

Yeah they're trash anyway. That subreddit sucks. I've seen too many astroturf ads get promoted to like 20k upvotes. Good riddance, I say.

I really liked the "Baron's" brand workbooks. I re-did some high school math with those. They explained the concepts and also there were many exercises to do by hand.

Sounds too much like Threads, the invasive corporate thing which can get fucked. Never going to market for them.

You can taste the trauma

I don't think it makes sense to be walking on top of a thread of time, as if we are separate from time. Our being is inseparable from the thread of time. The fibers in the fabric are our experience, we are the fibers, and we still travel through a one-directional thread, no matter how tangled.

a knot is still a thread. It can still proceed as normal.

Also, tangled knots happen in space. What kind of space can time get tangled within?

OK that's legit. So it's just a shitty photoshop picture.

It's a stupid picture.

I think you’re the AI lmao

You actually don't think that.

That bear isn't a halloween antic

can’t pick up on Photoshop…

Photoshop stuff looks different. Also, if it was photoshopped it would also be a shitty meme.

doesn’t know what memes are

It's not a meme.
