Honestly, I think this skill could easily translate to one of those "lore keeper" or "continuity expert" jobs people have on TV shows.

I believe the problem is that it's actively cooled, so it won't get hotter under a blanket.

He could always unplug it though...

What's wrong with systemd?

You're right in theory, but in practice the point is that email survives because it's not a closed, proprietary protocol.

Unfortunately I don't think the issue is quite so simple. We used to have open chat protocols that were slowly strangled by big tech until only their solutions remained.

I think the biggest problem is simply user apathy, if users cared more we wouldn't have the whole US green/blue bubble problem

Could you imagine Microsoft replacing windows engineers with a chat gpt prompt? What would that prompt even look like?

As evidenced by all the prompts, we aren't! But it's still the best place to get the latest info from some companies

Oh I didn't even notice that, now I can't unsee it. Thanks (I hate it), I guess?

Thank you for your sacrifice

PLEASE HERE TAKE IT

(Just please stop yelling at me)

 

I happened to click a link that took me to the associated ~~twitter~~ X account for something I was interested in and was greeted by not one, not two, but four modern day web popups.

I know it's nothing new. I've got a couple of firefox plugins that are usually quite good at hiding this sort of nonsense, but I guess they failed me today (or, I shudder to think, there were even more that were blocked, and this is what got through)

What's the worst new/not-signed-in user experience you've encountered recently?

Nah QA isn't necessarily going to understand code (the best ones do though!)

I've set my role on my company's slack profile as "code connoisseur"
