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.

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

So this is 510 mA per hour, I guess
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 1 week ago:
Great advice. Also make a PR to an open source project, have some public discussion of trade offs you considered, and get it merged. That’s an awesome differentiator. I’ve seen thousands of developer resumes without this. It shows you can work effectively and productively on good code and with a team.
- Comment on [Video] Cops not sure whether to arrest man with "Plasticine Action" shirt for supporting terrorism 1 week ago:
British authorities: you not only have to decide that approximations of a representation of an outlawed group are illegal, which is shaky ground at best, but you would also have to decide that open support of a group that is guilty only of vandalism of military assets is also illegal. To do so, without encroaching on the fucking Magna Carta, which y’all invented, would require an assertion that direct action on behalf of a subset of members of the group disallows the freedom of expression necessary to support the group writ large. Suck a fuckin dick.
- Comment on Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal 1 week ago:
With the recent insults to privacy (including E2E encryption) and the pro-corporate legislation, has Germany lost its way? Seems like newer generations are forgetting the lived experience of the Stasi and why there are such pro-renter economic circumstances

I’d definitely rather deal with Carabinieri, they’re just early twenties year olds from anywhere in the country that give varying degrees of a shit most of the time. Maybe not at airports and landmarks. American cops are jumpy and hyper aggressive always. You can get that from the Carabinieri but it’s half-hearted, not baked in to their identity.

- Comment on So Long to Tech's Dream Job: It’s the shut up and grind era, tech workers said, as Apple, Google, Meta and other giants age into large bureaucracies. 1 week ago:
You’ve nailed it. 15 years of experience here.
Scrum messed everything up too - lots of less-technical people needed jobs in software and that’s where they tend to slot in.
The kids don’t seem to think one level of hierarchy higher than the context they’re in a lot of the time. Not much appreciation for holism and design patterns (your mileage with the latter can vary of course).
Elegance is down and writing your own shitty code instead of using decent opinionated frameworks is up.
If I’m frustrated I write code outside of work.

Goddamn, with their parents’ history, I cannot possibly think of this as anything but mental decline. The basis of their political affiliation is a reflection of the state of their brain, to be sure.
