This was more of a problem when they didn’t support basic POSIX-isms so even basic calls to sh like sh -c 'echo "foo" && echo "bar"' would fail. Less of a problem now but you never know when a random script is going to rely on some obscure POSIX flag

Amazon’s AI crawler is making my git server unstable

End of the day someone still has to pay for those requests

Honestly, for the first year or two after learning about it (which is the only time where it’s really relevant) that’s exactly what I did. Spend 30 seconds, derive something that’s definitely correct, and never worry again about your memory randomly failing you

See the current dislike for fully digital display on cars. As they are now they just seem like a imprecise replacement for the function keys that either forces you to constantly look down at them (since the main selling point is that programs can change it at will) or force map them to F1-F12 (meaning you’ve spent extra on the touch-bar for no reason)

“Glazing” is slang for over-complimenting, often to an obsessive degree

Quote from the twitter thread:

I was asked about my sexual history, my boyfriends sexual history, “how I liked to fuck”.

I was told that certain issues were “sexual tension” and I should just “take the co-worker out on a coffee date to ease it out”

I was asked to twerk for a co-worker at one point.

I was told I was chunky, fat, ugly, stupid. I was called “retarded” I was called a “faggot”
