Yes there is throwaway work but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to be done.

Every line of code a programmer does is written so it can benefit the company or make the coder’s life easier.

We are trained to not do busy work if that makes sense, and it’s not busy work if management honestly tells you that they need X, regardless how right or wrong they are.

I agree, I was very careful to say tries to ಠᴗಠ

Given how python tries to be as readable as possible with its controversial stance on using indentation, is it really neutral?

Idk if moral alignment makes sense for languages, at least not as much as weapon metaphors.

Lots of good gems, this one got me:

1980 - Alan Kay creates Smalltalk and invents the term “object oriented.” When asked what that means he replies, “Smalltalk programs are just objects.” When asked what objects are made of he replies, “objects.” When asked again he says “look, it’s all objects all the way down. Until you reach turtles.”

I have Immich that has AI searching for my photos. Pretty useful for finding stuff actually

I feel like 20 years ago someone made a similar realization with Linux vs windows

Edit: i remember people telling me how good Linux was in 2010ish (so maybe 20 years was wrong), so idk…

This is really odd cause one of the first things I learned as a dev is that there is no one superior tool, otherwise everyone would use that instead of the right one for the job.

For a bit the picture didn’t show up and I thought that was the joke

Feels a little too close to home, except maybe the 3 hour nap part, more like dozed off but never reached REM for 45 mins.

Photo sync claims it does and as I mentioned in the post, I’m okay with needing to trigger it myself via its own app.

This is amazing, exactly what I was looking for!

Missed opportunity to make the last panel have her eyes closed (or just be fully black).

For a second I thought this was a hit list.

Oh wow, I was wrong, we are close to AGI.

Fair points but as someone who works in cybersecurity. Phishing emails can happen without admin access. I haven’t heard of any randsomware that is triggered by just clicking on a link.

I think there should be some restrictions but highly technical people should slowly be given more and more control as they gain more trust/experience.

I thought my comment was pretty clear that some rules are justified and that the IT person can just be the bearer of bad news.

Maybe not, hopefully this comment clarifies.

In my experience it’s been IT people telling me you can’t use a certain tool or have more control over your computer cause of their rules.

The expression is appropriate but the meme assumes that im doubting the IT person’s expertise. I’m not, I’m just not liking the rules that get in the way of my work. Some rules do make sense though.

Edit: just wanted to point out, yes I agree, you need the rules, they are still annoying tho.

Cause it’s a C++ replacement when said audience never asked for one. It’s great but it’s still waaaayy too early, people need to slowly get comfortable with it.

But people like and appreciate German.

That’s not true, there is a third state:

“I don’t care anymore, I’ll drive Uber if it comes to that”.
