Hello id like to spend all at once please

4 panel comic.

Panel 1: A pink blob character in suit tells Forg “you did a good business”

Panel 2: the pink blob in suit hands forg a dollar bill. He says “here is your pay”

Panel 3: forg holds the dollar bill. The man in suit walks off the frame. He reminds forg “don’t spend it all at once”

Panel 4: we see now that forg didn’t really listen to his advice. He stands in front of a building labeled “things you don’t need store”, dollar bill still in hand ready to be spent

Being into cats feels so debasing. You give everything over to this animal — time, labor, money — but when you want them to sit next to you, they refuse and jump away. When they finally sit on your lap, you sit motionless to the point of physical pain, afraid to disturb them. Humiliating.

I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia. But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

The infinite diversity of the internet never ceases to amaze me.

Meme that says: reading a fic by someone who's actually in the profession they're writing about so you're witnessing jargon unlike anything you've ever seen before

Comment: I think abt the fic where Sasuke Uchiha works for the Ottawa housing board every single day.

Screenshot of the fic summary on AO3. TAGS: public servants for the government of canada au, no plot no sex just endless ATIPS, sasuke is overworked and kakashi can't use ms excel, occasional unprofessional conduct, poor email etiquette, this is not an official publication of the government of canada, but if it was it would be in both official languages

DESCRIPTION: What Sasuke Uchiha wants is an indeterminate EC-02 Step 2 position with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that offers a decent salary, health benefits, paid vacation, and a manager who won't break all his Excel spreadsheets. What he gets is Naruto Uzumaki, an improbably attractive and unbearably annoying co-op student who eats way too much instant ramen and doesn't understand that "casual Friday" doesn't mean varsity sweatpants.

‘Vibe coding’ as a phrase is embarrassing to me. In an industry where the bar was already very low, it suggests we can care even less. It’s another step towards enshittification. The only way to make great software is to truly reason about the code and systems. There are no shortcuts.

For design, this process is called "critique" and the fact that bootcamps don't teach this skill is partly responsible for where we are as a field. When you understand the purpose of your work, critique is immediate and tangible. When you don't, you get clown-ass "I don't like it" type feedback.

Understanding that all tech is flawed is one thing but it is actively against standards of engineering to release systems to the public that cannot reasonably be debugged or fixed or explained. If any one needs to ask for forgiveness it's the engineers. And they won't be forgiven.

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it. The law only ever serves capital.
