It is getting really sad though. On an average team of 15-20 you get something like the following breakdown these days:

- 1-3 people who actually know wtf is going on. Usually old fucks who do this stuff for fun.

- 1-2 people who show a little promise, but are way under experienced.

- The middle are usually newer graduates. They spend like 2 hours of an 8 hour day actually doing "work". The rest of the time is bitching about capitalism, fascists or rambling about Trump. Pretty much useless. When they do work it is minimal. They will get stuck on something and just set on it for weeks until they are forced to get one of the top 1-3 to pretty much "help"(do the work for them).

- 1-2 people at the bottom who have the inability to understand anything. They will run something through chatgpt once a week and cut-n-past it into an MR. Usually has nothing to do with the problem. Sadly, these are usually immigrants with poor english and no technical experience(HR helps them through the process). They are incapable of learning.

How tf do you guys always got to make it political. The anti-vaxers will get their own because they are not protected. Those that are vaxxed don't have to worry right?

If you were asked to RCA this though where/how do you think the source of the new surge infections are coming from? Do the anti-vaxers infect themselves by magic? Are the vaxxer gods smiting them with it?

They are almost military like in trying to force this shit into every project. The end result is a bunch of partially implemented rust replacements scattered across a bunch of projects that are a PITA to deal with for both the developers and end users. Like, why tf am I installing system rust dependencies for some random python dependency that isn't easily available on most OSs? Why do I care about maintaining a half implemented rust parser that was pushed onto a project that is mostly golang, c or python? Most people don't give af about the quarter of a millisecond that the parser may saved them.

Yep, I would also argue that 9.5% is way to low. After doing this for 20+ some odd years, you get maybe 1 or 2 self-driven performers on the team doing the majority of the work. Maybe 2-3 second tier guys that take a small amount of load from the performers. The rest not only do the minimum to get buy, but the introduce a large load on the performers and second tier guys with the constant hand-holding. You can't fire anyone these days either unless they are a white straight male without HR getting heavily involved trying to stop it.

Comment Imagine (Score 0) 114

Imagine being dumb enough to think government bureaucrats and lifelong politicians know anything about how to operate and run a business. All they know how to do is accept large sums of money from some businesses to create policy that give that business an edge over others. This interferes with the free market and creates the breeding ground for monopolies in first place.

If you work in government as an employee or contractor in the past, you know that they ruin everything they touch.

The only thing that needs to happen is separation of business and state like we have with church and state. The backdoor deals between the two always result in screwing over the taxpayer in some way or another.

Yep. Businesses can sensor what they want and let the free market decide who stays around. Hopefully Carr gets rid of the cartel of government working with or in business to censor for political gain. We are already watching some of this in action as mainstream media is failing and being replaced with podcasts and other media sources with less gov control.

Planting more trees couldn't hurt. Instead of going into fields to actually solve these issues, we have morons blocking roads, destroying historic art and bitching about things online. These same morons and those they elected are actively working on destroying Elon Musk while he is attempting to develop better alternatives. Go out and work in a field furthering these improvements. Become a tech in the electric or hydrogen based car research. Work on tech to terraform the barren parts of the earth to grow more carbon scrubbers(trees). Work towards going to other planets for human HA if the worse happens... Work on making existing tech more efficent so that it reduces the impact... So much to do.

All these morons have such a small mindset. They would rather blame someone else for all their issues and wallow in their misery than going out and working towards making a better tomorrow.

Seeing a lot of kids of family members and friends moving back home and living of them now. They sit around, play games and scroll social media all day. The days of working hard for what you want are over as everyone is a victim of some great injustice.

Life is hard. We all had to start small and work really slow and hard to earn better paying jobs, better houses, family... They expect to just be handed everything without the hard work. It is sad really.
