Exactly, my coworkers at nearly every job have done this just by their disinterest in reading code and not caring about their craft.
It’s far more effective. Once you have a bad architecture and you keep adding to it over the years in haphazard ways, it becomes increasingly difficult to make any changes.

This is the winning response I think.

I get this is a battery but the units don’t make sense unless it’s going at 100% all the time

Hazing is the reason I decided not to become a doctor or an academic. Well, that and bad grades.

This is not a generational thing if you live in Bakersfield or Visalia or Fresno. Most of the time I’d agree.

I have been volunteering feeding homeless for a number of years and I was never happier than when I was tasked with throwing away compromised food. The sadism of it mixed with the altruism, sweet Jesus.

Depression is not this. It is far more complex.

Many petty tyrants who couldn’t hang in a normal job. I dealt with these guys in a tech support role. Many are genuinely nice. Some have oppositional defiant disorder

I liked this meme until I thought, wouldn’t it be cooler if it were a complex and reversible operation? 3/10 doesn’t deceive enough

- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 4 months ago:
Specifically, the phrasing “you were/you are” is not totally accurate. You were in many tax brackets. You are now paying a fraction of your income in a higher tax bracket. It’s tantamount to begging the question.

That’s a loaded question. Poor methodology.

Sharing your kids’ secrets with anyone is a breach of trust. Good way to get your kids to not trust you with anything. You don’t get to override their preferences because you value their secret information differently.

Websites used to be like this. I hate modernity.
- Comment on I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas? 8 months ago:
Honestly it’s a very lazy tack. Imagine what would actually happen if you are a young conservative and your leftist aunt or whatever gives you 1984.

Oh god Ayn Rand? I’m surprised he has the attention span. Yeah Anarchy State and Utopia.
Steel man his perspective. Give him something he finds interesting which will also teach him to develop his argumentation.

I am a homeless man in San Francisco because I quit a public sector job that I was not allowed to fix with my good-ass coding skills. I have no regrets.
