> Compensation is insane.

What?

> Speaking from FAANG

Oh.

In the Navy if people weren't complaining, we knew something was wrong.

Weird takeaway, I thought the comment was brilliant and spot on! 30 years here too!

Ah, that explains the poorer performance when comparing to AWS or GCP, now it makes sense, thanks!

Yup, originally had Nexus One, found out it couldn't be upgraded after a couple of years because of the decision to make the installation space so small. Upgraded to Nexus 4. Battery expanded like a blowfish after a year. Bought a Nexus 5. The Gorilla glass wasn't as durable as my clumsiness confirmed. In between the 4 and 5, bought a Nexus 7 (I think, it was a pad device), it's display stopped working almost 1 year to the day.

Back to the Nexus 5, after dropping the 5 accidentally and destroying it, upgraded to a mid-range LG phone. Wow. It was great. Still works like 5 or 6 years later though 2 years after buying it, LG announced they would exit the smart phone business. That was a blow.

The LG will works but is slow now so the only option left was a Samsung phone, mid-upper range. About a year later so far so good but I had to disable a thousand crap apps they install and revert a thousand more crap default settings. Worse than buying a new Windows PC which is why I use Ubuntu Linux on my PC.

> It was extremely white and nerdy when looked at on average.

Many of us in the world chatted and conversed (VoIP was a thing already) with people around the world in the mid-1990's.

When the word "force" is involved, it's time to take a step back and re-evaluate things.

> why spend time on a ‘nice’ commit history in a (smallish) feature branch when you can squash merge later.

Agreed, it has been standard at most shops I've worked in the past 8-10 years.

> For me, even though rebasing comes with some trappings, I still greatly prefer it to the alternative, which is to have merge commits cluttering up the commit history.

The purpose of history is to remember. Rewriting history, whether git or in life, is bad; outside of the context of don't use it on public repos. Such advice is similar to saying, only point the shotgun away from you when firing. If you have to remember such a rule, it's best to avoid it.

AI models will no doubt gobble it up and spit out back out in a unique looking laundered format minus the comments.

As a mostly backend dev, maybe I'm biased but all the tech you listed there isn't layers of stuff. Each of those do something different. For all but FAANG, kube is overkill. Helm is just templating. The rest existed before DevOps was a term.

That's wild, never really looked into it, reminds me how a C programmer thinks. I'm mostly backend but get involved with frontend every now and then. Tried to avoid Angular and React but now trying to teach myself Angular. AngularJS was nice. Angular sucks, very complicated for doing the same things I can do with vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, but that's what companies seem to be hiring for.

That's a neat shortcut, I prefer vanilla JS too.

Squeezing the lemon, the AI hype train continues full speed ahead.

Technology is like fashion trends. In the early 2000's VM's became popular on personal computers (PC's) like they were something new. IBM created VM's in the 1960's.

In the military, they made it very clear to use how to read "shall", "must", "should", etc.

I like the the way KDE looks and operates, the fonts are clear and easy to read. Please KDE developers keep them as they are, KDE is great!

I got, "Some tools might be unavailable due to heavy traffic in this file.".

I'm a software engineer with over 20 years in Java and more years in C# then C++ before that totaling 30 years and am seeing rates at $60 per hour (also what I made 10 years ago) and $50 per hour (what I made 20 years ago - even during the 2003 recession).

Is it being supported by the current corrupt administration or has it been supported by all the corrupt administrations. Rhetorical, I know.

Our grocery costs continue to rise, media streaming has gone up, nearly everything has gone up and drastically just the past 2 years alone yet wages being offered are from 10-20 years ago.

I downloaded the tar to my user account Downloads dir, unpack and run from there. Created a launcher in KDE. I use Help > About and it checks for updates, pulls any and updates and tells me to restart Firefox, works great. Wish Mozilla would put Firefox in Ubuntu repos like Thunderbird. Makes me wonder if Mozilla gets a kickback from Canonical to diss Ubuntu users and make them think snap is the only way to run Firefox.

I've used the pin apt to prevent snap reinstalling approach on multiple machines for years with no recurrence of snap.

> So yeah the achievement is on the neural network.

It is? OK, tell them to completely clear the model of any angry bird original and clone code, data and assets that it scarfed from the Internet.

It can retain scarfed definitions of angry and bird as well as scarfed information on making a 2D video game.

Then tell the model to create the game and see what if anything it comes up with.
