unrealistic idea that has lots of currently unsolvable logistical problems and the only currently working part would be a gamble that I can't even get
and
unrealistic idea that could be attainable, but not for me in our current society... or if it could work, not within my reach and no way for me to know that it'd be viable
If anyone wants a good example of what happens when you put a bunch of engineers in the room without a leader just go look at the dumpster fire that is Linux desktop for the past 30 years.
It’s amazing how you resort to ignorant personal attacks when you hear something you don’t like.
For what it’s worth, I spent last week tuning some k8s pod affinities. It’s not that I can’t, do LDE, it’s that I’m not delusional enough to think 2fps in some games is worth fighting KDE and gnome and having every extension break every other upgrade.
Gnome requiring extensions for some basic functionality and happily breaking them are deliberate design decisions from the Gnome devs. Compare that to the kernel’s long standing “we don’t break userspace” policy. I don’t use Gnome.
Wayland has taken a long time to get where it is now, but on my laptop which only needs to deal with one 60 Hz normal DPI screen running a web browser it was ready years ago. There have been a lot of edge cases that needed to be chased down - I needed VRR in XWayland apps and the ability to turn off DPI scaling for XWayland before I could switch my desktop over.
The best managers, leaders, and mentors I’ve ever had started as engineers and could hold their own in a technical capacity. The second best are non technical, but value their team members and provide air cover for them to do their best work.
The worst are career middle managers that overcompensate their lack of knowledge and usefulness by spewing bullshit like this to get over their well deserved imposter syndrome.
If you’re a “leader” I can promise that your team despises you and you absolutely crush their productivity. They aren’t successful because of you, they’re successful in spite of you.
And don’t even get me started on Six Sigma Babysitters.
Sorry to burst your bubble around that imaginative story but I do k8, tf, and run a platform team for 100 or so developers. Not to say it’s Google but I can certainly hold my own.
Yeah actually, working as a senior staff eng at great job at a company I love with awesome people that pays very, very well and I didn’t even have to become a narcissistic dick slurping middle manager! Hbu?
Not really. Image hosting for a webcomic costs a lot of money. A lot of webcomic artists are instead hosting their images on WebToons primarily. It’s a site dedicated to comics which is a great start but also severely cuts down on their costs.
Believe it or not, I have ADHD and am aware of stigmatization of stimulant medications. I don’t need to be coached on how to make light hearted jokes about amphetamines on the Internet
I went into that joke without ADHD or it’s related stigmatization in mind. I viewed “Adderall?” as more in the context of recreational use be it partying or something like cramming for a test. There wasn’t a previous dialogue about ADHD established so it never entered my mind that that’s how people would view it. I wouldn’t make that joke in that context as it is insensitive. However, that wasn’t the situation and I still don’t really see my comment as insensitive or reinforcing stereotypes/stigmatization of ADHD. It’s not that I don’t care, I just disagree with the interpretation of my comment in that way
It truly is if someone is not understanding how much of it is a myth. Look up the “Protestant Work Ethic” and how this has been used to justify wealth gaps and labeling the poor as lazy. It is so ingrained that many people don’t even know that it is a thing and still believe it
