Not like in my case. I joke that Stockholm Syndrome takes time ;-)

Your phone was right: this isn’t a word.

I support ads.

Oh, calm down. I don’t support the ad level of Facebook, nor the targeted ads, nor the algorithm.

And we, as users, get to decide when too many ads are too many, with our feet.

No. Their reward for having users is that they’re in control. Expecting users to then pay them for that control is fucking stupid,

You DO realize that not everyone works to attain power over other people, right?

but I don’t expect most people to realize it.

The reason people don’t realize that site owners’ reward for forking over half a salary in hosting costs for some nebulous power to hold other people in their clutching fists and cackle maniacally is because that’s not the motivator here.

I look forward to when you can see that.

There are other points during an interview process to lay out your pay expectations.

Yeah. I ask them to justify the planning for this position and confirm the budget. They will have a budget.

Yeah. I’m brutal in the interview. I’ll let them know they are a finalist, but that I can ultimately only choose one employer for the daytime role.

But I want to weed out the egotists and ‘family’ shops so everyone understands. I’ll connect stand-by, OT and hybrid work rules to a higher wage given more demand and bad architecture, and ask them to justify de-prioritizing reliability and proper architecture with band-aids. And we’ll talk about the cost of living around the mandated office location and how 4x a 2/2 rent compares to their entry wage.

Sometimes, though, I’ll wordsmith it a bit to get the answers and then only review their answers later in the competition before confirming that their position as a candidate for my next employer has ended.

Good news: session save/restore

That’s a special dietary need.

Container and Ai ! Now you get the sparkle junkie virus, guys!

Manners. Maketh. Man.

Yes.

You let people see your eyes so you can talk and put them at ease. What are you, a cop in Alabama whose authoritah someone needs to respect?

Urge to help is fading.

“You can ask, sure. Let’s go back inside.” where the cameras are and it’s illegal to solicit or beg.

Dude.

Yes, the chopstick-to-the-grille is plan B.

It is then we’re reminded of the ability of good writers and performers to take even a low-potential idea and fucking kill it. With a pen. In the study.

I think the cause isn’t as important because, for all of them, I think, the solution could be the same.

Take one small bite of that huge daunting pie, and get the ball rolling. Then take another bite; do something easy. And then another. And now you’re off.

I have tasks lined up for yeeeeears I think. It’s daunting. I do it a bite at a time.

3 [months] later they asked me if it’s ok if we talk on WhatsApp because it’s too bothersome to use two different apps.

Hey, remember in the age of about 9 different messenger protocols, when Pidgin allowed you to message people on the platform they preferred without too much fuss?

The “things we lost in the post-y2k culling of clue and mentorship” box is running out of space.
