TFS reminds me of militant vegans who still insist that eggs are unhealthy based on poor research done in the 60s. The fools are still married to the long disproven idea that dietary cholesterol leads to cholesterolemia, and were pissed off after the FDA removed the cholesterol RDI.

I always look to people with degrees in 'community development' to tell me whether there are enough spooks in my computer science or not; it's just good sense.

If it's dissociality and/or disinhibition without an LLM fetish it's just an ICD-11 personality disorder.

Saying that, much less in public in a way that suggests you either think that it will be helpful or that people will view you as being helpful, seems like strong evidence of an AICD-11 personality disorder.

Why, exactly, are we listening to someone who passed through software engineering on his way into management claiming that software engineers(presumably now his direct reports) are the most spoiled profession and how it's just terrible that nobody is willing to spend several years working for peanuts to get experience(because the argument from race to the bottom is persuasive now?)

He then meanders over to the theory that if you are a real actually-good software engineer your job is clearly safe, because AI isn't set to replace you; ignoring the fact that entire teams, competent and all, get wiped out when the money sloshes a different way all the time; and 'AI' has seen some cataclysmic levels of frankly irrational money sloshing by some mixture of conmen, cultists, and the good old 'animal spirits' of that definitely rational market.

It's basically the same story about 'web developers' who learned how to knock together some HTML at a bootcamp somewhere, or 'IT' back when that was something where the money attracted some people who had no interest, warmed over and presented as novel; with a side helping of boundless(but notably vague) optimism about all the cool new AI-things that are being created that will need real engineers at some point.

Honestly, it's almost impressive how he manages to be so grating while being so vacuous.

This is a very basic part of software development and always has been. There's always some framework, API, or concept that you have to learn to get some particular job done. They're paying you because you have the aptitude to pick up new skills quickly. I've only been doing this four'ish years and found that out before I even started (I am entirely self-taught -- no CS to speak of -- the only credential I can offer you is that I'm paid within the top 5% of software engineers at roughly $277k gross on my last W2, likely going to be over $365k this year.) Employers already expect that you're going to spend only 25% of your time writing actual code at best, with probably another 50% reading documentation, watching youtube videos, etc. If you can't do that particularly well, then you'll never be a good engineer, and you'll get paid accordingly.

Experience does translate to value for exactly this reason. On the flip side of that coin, no employers are just going to offer you a raise because you learned a new programming language or something like that (in the four years I've been doing software development, I've already picked up six languages and written a fair bit of code in each of them, so go figure.) Again, that's just part of your job description. If you think you deserve more pay, then ask for a raise. If you don't get one, but you still think you deserve more anyway, then go apply for another job, either within the same company or with another company. If your employer really feels that they can't afford to lose you, they'll offer more. It's really that simple.

I say this often and can't understate it enough: If you went into software development for the pay and only the pay, then you always were going to have a bad time. People like that have historically been weeded out during big recessions, typically having a CS degree that they thenceforth don't even use. From the sound of what this guy is arguing, basically the only people who will remain software engineers are the core group of people that typically even last through recessions.

The word "seems" in the sentence "They are drawn to it because they feel burned by the traditional system and want a fresh start with something that seems more modern and less manipulative." is so load-bearing I can only hope that the author is also a structural engineer.

To a darkly hilarious extent 'fintech' is more or less entirely regulatory arbitrage with a light skin of 'apps'.

So, on the minus side we've got people trying to game the system. On the more-minus side; the way they are trying to game the system suggests that peer review has, at least in part, been farmed out to chatbots because it's easier. Fantastic.

"A tandem charge the size of a solar system" isn't really the reassuring correction I was hoping for; to be honest.

Could you be any more of a stupid fucking conspiracy theorist? I already showed this to you last time:

To my untrained eye, that wound looks very superficial. I say that because I've had a similarly copious amount of blood from being scraped by a skeg while surfing. All I really felt was a mild amount of pain and was in the water for another three hours before realizing I was even bleeding. A bunch of people were freaking out when they saw me and called over a lifeguard, which I didn't think was necessary. All he did was wrap it in a little bit of gauze, and the word "superficial" is exactly what he said.

I've also had basal cell carcinoma removed from my ear. They had to remove it layer by layer, pretty deep as well, likely deeper than Trump's bullet wound, and it bleeds quite a bit. People only notice the scarring from it if they're specifically looking for it, and even then they have to take a pretty close look. Trump is old and wrinkly, it wouldn't be surprising if such scars are even harder to see in his case because it's hard to tell the scars from ordinary wrinkles, especially with his obvious spray tan likely concealing pigmentation differences normally seen in scar tissue.

More importantly, people like you who obsess over this are just incredibly stupid. Alex Jones level stupid. Though in your case, I think you especially obsess over holes, including ear holes, which are almost certainly the only holes a person would have that are small enough for your dick.

What else do you want? His birth certificate? His tax records? And how did that satisfy you? Even if you did get them, odds are you'd say they were fake, the doctor was paid off, they were altered by aliens, or some shit like that.

Thankfully, you can sustain national greatness just by shouting belligerently about it; the idea that you actually need competence or execution is just a con; so this should have no side effects whatsoever.

Probably not great news that someone further up the Kardashev scale remains a fan of double tap strikes.

Either that or his email server fetches all images regardless of whether the email was read. This is increasingly common now. I looked in my work spam digest once and some sales derp was asking why I wasn't responding to his emails even though I supposedly "read them twice".

And yeah, vendors really get aggressive, especially if you're a well known company. Even if you barely do any business with them at all, they like to tell other potential marks that you're their customer in order to build rapport.

My suspicion is that they are probably in the clear. the USB PD spec includes 'vendor-defined messages'; both 'structured VDMs' that are standardized and 'unstructured VDMs' that are basically whatever the implementer feels like. This obviously doesn't prove that Nintendo are in full compliance with what the USB-IF really wants the USB trademarks applied to; but(along with the reports that it plays just fine with 3rd party chargers) it looks a lot more like a basically-compliant-minus-any-bugs-or-compatibility-hacks USB PD implementation that just doesn't mention DP alt mode unless it likes the unstructured VDM chatter. Dick move; but one you could do in full standards compliance.

There's plenty of evidence that you have shit for brains. You're a fairly typical detritivore who is what he eats, after all.
