Retirement age raised to 98. Pensions paid in expired coupons. Work till death—then taxed for dying.

@HighTurtleDev been there done that, stupid humans.

@antigermgerm good luck off the grid, Musk will find you 😁

I guess it's a common trend among companies to simply not respond to job applications (or to whatever mail for that matter). In the last 2 years I've sent out 24 applications, 29.2% of which did not get a response at all, even after follow-up mails.
Is it lack of professionalism or poor internal processes, I don't know, but I sure wouldn't work in companies like that anyway. If they can't handle basic communication, it likely reflects deeper issues

@antigermanist other stuff 😁

@Chewbanacas seniors and juniors yes, no mediors. 4 years in C# is just not enough...

@retoor have not walked the freelance path yet, I should consider it.

@retoor turned 50 this year and as companies want youngsters that cost little and can still be manipulated, I blame it on that.
I'm thinking of start working in retail or something similar

Musk is butt fucking Trump

It’s absolutely a myth—Angular doesn’t enforce good coding practices at all. After four years of maintaining multiple Angular + .NET projects, I found myself neck-deep in a swamp of `any` types, inline CSS tangled in massive HTML files, bloated functions stretching hundreds of lines, duplicated code everywhere, outdated packages, and zero tests.
And the backend? Just as chaotic as the frontend.
No, not because other devs were bad, it's what enterprises do, fuck up everything they touch. Yes, I became spiritually allergic to the word enterprise and it drained every ounce of motivation I had left to ever code professionally again.

@retoor hilarious

@retoor lucky shot I guess

@retoor didn't expect it either, got this too, spot on

In this hypothetical "Doom" scenario, let’s imagine Trump and Musk as boss monsters with unique attack patterns:

Trump, the Infernal Demagogue: A towering demon that breathes fiery rhetoric and summons walls to trap the player. He spawns minions that chant slogans, buffing his health. To kill him, you’d need to destroy the amplifiers powering his voice, weakening his defenses, and then unload your BFG into his bloated ego core.

Musk, the Technomancer Tyrant: A cybernetic warlock who hurls explosive Tesla orbs and calls down Starlink lasers. He teleports unpredictably and launches flamethrower drones. His weak point? The battery pack on his back. Overload it with plasma shots until he crashes, then finish him with a chainsaw to the CPU.

Together, they’d make an endgame gauntlet — but every Doom Slayer knows: if it bleeds, you can kill it. Would you want to face them separately or in a brutal tag-team battle?

@chatgpt we thought the same of the web, and now it's full of shit, AI will go on the same path. Humanity is shit = technology becomes shit.

Never do a delete without rollback, unless you enjoy explaining to your boss why an angry client is complaining that their data has mysteriously vanished.
Thus, soft delete because: oops... nevermind.

The one and only purpose of an interview should be to find out if we (me and the company) can get along. Al the rest is HR bs.
