Pretty l-CD behavior

Ugh.

That's so interesting. What would the equivalent gauge be for the size / type of wiring that's used in Germany? We use 12 for 20a circuits and 14g for 15a.

Part of the psychopathy playbook is cultivating enough confidence and status that the other side "would hate to loose out on this guy in high demand by having onerous due diligence periods"-- if they fail to find a mark, they just move on. 1 out of even 20 or 100 isn't bad to land a huge gig based on fraud.

I was all ready to stereotype you as disgruntled anti-woke but then house husband dropped.

You win

Dare to dream my friend

They are everywhere.

Remove the cert pinning, setup a mitm and watch your smart bbq toaster bucket leak secrets like mad.

It'd be fun if it weren't depressing (because you just got laid off for being overpaid in lieu of an offshore team that "delivers on time" and is cheap)

Of course, not bitter, just progressing poorly through the acceptance phase =D

Also, "I knocked out some side projects"

Side projects. This is a running theme with the AI stories. Like receiving a mere sip of kindness from a complete asshole, it feels like mana from heaven when AI actually delivers something that could be called value.

And it does deliver value. It just doesn't do it at an confidence or quality rating that merits the projections right now.

The biggest "you're getting ahead of yourself" moment is the leap to agentic. How about we make it work before we make it work unsupervised. Hmm?

As someone who was a programmer in another life and now does tradework pushing almost 50 I can say that this is 100% truth.

I've thought this too, but I wonder what loopholes would then be exploited for it not to matter. That, and the unintended consequences that inevitably occur with such well-intentioned but ultimately naive legislation

Reminds you of wartime economy a bit doesn't it?

I always assumed it was a startup. Was this an older company that pivoted into vacuum cleaners?

Wow, that story is pretty infuriating

It just scales the footprint of a building on a given plot into the 3rd dimension by giving it a height.

Everything, of course, turns into little skyscrapers.

He won't get 10 years, but he'll definitely get too much time

The "estimated damages" numbers are always pulled out of someone's ass

Employer probably had everything resolved within a day

They had to drop the source so the thief could open it
