“I swear this shit only happens in SF”
He says it like that’s a good thing?
Nah. That’s a turn of phrase. I.e. only this Backcountry shithole would have crazy people like this.
probably the only time they can actually successfully merge
Do NOT let me do this, I will actually be rage-merging on the road. “LFGTM 😡” bypass branch protection rules
force push to master
All to afford the cardboard box they no doubt live in
Half-assing two jobs at once
Science fiction or San Francisco?
San Fierro
Sioux Falls!
He’s checking in code for FSD.
don’t merge and drive
he can merge without looking
“Hahahaha, merging this code is so fucking funny, it makes me want to merge without looking!”
Big Gasoline truck explodes
“Yeah, Elon!”
When the cost of living is so egregiously high that not only do you need two jobs, but you have to do them at the same time
Imagine that driver working an only fans account while driving.
anything’s possible with self driving cars
This is known and quite popular genre of porn.
A software engineer needs two jobs. Which means most people need at least 4. Or 3 if they live under a bridge.
A software engineer does not need two jobs. That’s ridiculous.
I mean if you read the article, one of them saved for a year or 2 and bought a house (I’m assuming large down payment for a mortgage), one had a “house payment and alimony” (so basically paying half the salary to the ex), one was saving up 90% of income doing this.
These are people who were either striving for FIRE or had other shit happen to them.
Obviously the area is ridiculously expensive, but software engineers make more than enough to live on a single job. If they still have jobs of course.
It sounds ridiculous, yes, but there are US software engineers who basically work for minimum wage full time doing freelance work because that is all they can find
Ok so a software engineer needs 3 or 4.
That’s startup life. Dude might be rolling in it in a couple years and it’s a decision. Feel bad for the non tech workers around the bay
Not sure why this is downvoted. It’s a lifestyle choice that is a genuine choice. You don’t have to live in SF if it’s not for you.
Yeah I don’t get it. You can also work for established companies where you get steady income instead of volatile stocks but you’re not going to be able to retire super early with a work life balance that way
Exactly. I got a drive by downvote which is a shame. Some people are in a situation where they’re happy to take a risk, and know that if it fails they won’t be destitute, and sometimes you might be paid more to account for the risk. Or less, but you get stock options to account for the risk. They’re all valid options as long as you’re not forced into it.
likely not tho.
might be rolling in it in a couple years
Doubtful given 70-90% of startups fail.
might
Yeah it’s risky. People do it multiple times though and one success pays out. It’s a risky choice that I wouldn’t make but I understand why people do
he did say “might be” 😅
Everyone who plays the lottery might be a millionaire too
You could work for a startup that still pays a livable wage so you don’t have to do something this reckless. That is an option.
Clown town libertarian take.
Lmao yes, telling you to feel bad for non tech workers in the bay area makes me libertarian
Is this a 2008 RDX?
average tech entrepreneur
A Personal Record?
A Public Relations?
Pull Request. You are in Programmer humor.

Whats a programmer?
What’s a humor?
My wife had a labmate in grad school submit a paper on a comedy robot, and a reviewer noted “the authors mention humor several times but never define the concept.”
It’s one of four liquids, sometimes vapors, that humans have to keep in balance or else they get black bileosis
Same thing as humour, I guess.
Outside this community: someone who programs computers.
In this community: no one has any fucking idea how to answer that.
so he updated his script, or fixed a bug while driving, right?
Oh I would hope not, it’s good practice to not let the person writing the code merge it in, to get a fresh pair of eyes on the code before it goes in.
Though in a way you could say he “fixed a bug” by merging a bugfix written by somebody else, but that feels like a failure of attribution.
Someone else wrote some code, and he reviewed it and approved it, and merged it into the codebase.
Prime Rib
Might also have been a peer review.
I mean… prescient, but also very un-funny if true
I’m not sure if that is impressive or terrifying.
Personally, I find it depressing.
¿Por qué no los dos?
Somebody tell that dude that having a “bus factor” doesn’t mean you should actively seek getting run over by a bus!
