I fully agree with most of what you’re saying. But I also have many close friends who started out as coworkers, but we found out we’re enjoying each other’s company.
Hell I’m crashing on a former colleague’s (and former boss’s even) couch right now, and another colleague in the same city offered theirs. Another ex coworker is my deepest confidant in just about any topic.
It’s a bit tricky to find out which people are worth deepening the relationship with, and how to cordially avoid the others. But that’s just like everywhere else tbh.

In an ideal world where people read the open source yes. But having contracts with a provider means someone else is responsible if shit fails and that’s half of the corporate world there.

Well back in my days we would wear an onion on the belt, as it was the fashion at the time.

As a German, I’ve definitely learned that in school. Maybe it was memes by then as well, but it being the late 90s I doubt it.
- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 1 month ago:
For all numbers I know (I didn’t look anything up, but so did nobody else) I’m at a bigger risk of being run over when I cross the street to the store. And glasses surely are a bigger inconvenience than not having onions when you wanna cook or beers when the footie is on.

To be fair those places do exist. Just don’t go looking for advise on being human on the site literally known for being terrible at humaning. Even the Old Place had and still has areas with very decent discourse.
- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 1 month ago:
Can’t compare it with cancer, but calling it barely an inconvenience is also a hit rich in my experience.
Also the 1% chance is pulled out of someone’s arse isn’t it? Did anyone here look up actual numbers for long term detrimental effects?
- Comment on Anon considers LASIK 1 month ago:
Yup. The procedure is like something out of a body horror movie. Nothing I’d wanna do again for fun. Still 10/10 payoff, would do again.

Kinda looks like it has a very unfortunate kind of moustache that went out of fashions for reasons that are very well related to dangers to humans.

But what can be more human than being a predator and a terrible being as well?

I mean it’d work on me. But I’m a straight dude and my answer is Triceratops, so not wrong at all.

I miss having wheels on my screen to do funny trapezoid distortion effects. Calls would be so much more fun!
- Comment on Anon reflects on e-sports 3 months ago:
Look, I know what I heard. And that was every old school screen I’ve ever encountered. What I don’t know is harmonic or flyback transformers.
Maybe maybe it’s a ntsc vs pal thing? I’ll restate, I don’t know anything about the tech but I could tell if a screen was on.
And before you restate that they were low quality: maybe every screen I’ve ever encountered was shit, yea. But then shit was the default apparently.
- Comment on Anon reflects on e-sports 3 months ago:
Me too. And like the other guy, all of them, unless I’ve only encountered shit CRTs.
I’ve also stopped hearing it in my mid 20s when I’ve no longer seen a CRT monitor anywhere. If I’ve lost that frequency I don’t know.

Took me a moment: in Germany at least, you don’t start a PhD without a master”s degree.
If others are confused as well: elsewhere it’s different, I believe?
- Comment on Anon is smarter than a genius 4 months ago:
I’ve switched to iOS exclusively about 10 years ago cause I got tired of android being full of it. I just wanted a phone that works without me tweaking every little thing. I don’t regret the choice one bit, other than giving money to the other tech giant.
This is not me hating android either; I guess I was unlucky with the phones I had.
That said, being a dev myself, my phone shouldn’t be a side project I maintain, but something I can use with ease. Apple products fit that description for me and just as that won’t be a universal sentiment (which it never should be) that’s nothing to be scoffed at.

Id say it’s also like the coach’s fault for losing even if they’re not on the pitch but you’d answer that Golf is not a bicycle so how do you even analogies mate?

It’s not always my death for me, but I often have very, very violent dreams that include fist- or knife fights at the very least. I feel you, it’s absolutely horrendous.
