Maybe it’s for the really really big three percenters?
- Comment on Wells Fargo workers using ‘mouse movers’ are getting caught and fired - The Verge 2 weeks ago:
This tells me that Wells Fargo has middle management layers so useless, they can’t even understand if their employees are doing their jobs so they resort to monitoring.
They literally just want their employees to look busy because their corporate culture isn’t able to comprehend managers having close relationships with their direct reports and their work.
Companies should be looking at an employee’s output to determine if they’re worth keeping employed. If you can’t measure that, what the fuck are you doing? How do you justify having any employees when you don’t know what they contribute to the bottom line?
- Comment on ChatGPT has caused a massive drop in demand for online digital freelancers — here is what you can do to protect yourself 2 weeks ago:
It’s a little worrisome, actually. Professionally written software still needs a human to verify things are correct, consistent, and safe, but the tasks we used to foist off on more junior developers are being increasingly done by AI.
Part of that is fine - offloading minor documentation updates and “trivial” tasks to AI is easy to do and review while remaining productive. But it comes at the expense of the next generation of junior developers being deprived of tasks that are valuable for them to gain experience to work towards a more senior level.
If companies lean too hard into that, we’re going to have serious problems when this generation of developers starts retiring and the next generation is understaffed, underpopulated, and probably underpaid.

It’s worth pointing out that this only works if your plan is sufficiently evil.

Glow in the dark filament is shit for glowing more than a minute. It’s like the cheapest toys you had as a kid.
But they illuminate constantly if you shine a UV (or IR?) LED on them, and you generally don’t see the LED light nearly as much.
So my vote is a bigger project with an LED in the base that keeps whatever you print lit up and looking spooky green for hours.

- Comment on Because only women are worried about becoming step-parents? (This prolly could've been an Ask Lemmy.) 2 months ago:
We had a baby recently and I tried to read a few books geared towards men to be better prepared.
The bar for men is very, very low. It’s a tripping hazard.
The guidance in all of them was a pathetic mix of “have you tried basic empathy?” and idiotic sports metaphors. It was baffling. Are most men actually like stupid sitcom dads from the 90s?

To be fair, that’s a pretty accurate way to describe my career, too.

They named her Alexis, a combination of their first names.
As heartwarming as this story was, this line confuses me.
