If there’s one thing I hate, it’s ppl sayin something should have been done yesterday.
Guess what, if should have been done yesterday, we’ve missed the deadline, we’ve already failed and might as wel write off the project.

As much as I agree that decent public transport is significantly preferable to autonomous cars, this video is a bit of a straw man argument.
Self driving cars will never beat trains/busses on efficiency. But that’s not why people like them. The major selling point is the illusion we can sustainably keep living in spread out suburbs.
Trains will not stop at the doorstep of your mcMansion. Trains will not allow you to comfortably carry your biweekly Costco shopping. Trains will not provide you the luxury of traveling from point A to B without ever having to come in contact with the plebs.
Unfortunately, he kind of admits as much in the end of the video. Where says that self driving cars will entrench suburbia and will work in sparsely populated areas.
He’d have been better off focusing on the economics of self driving cars. E.g. how the vegas hyper loop is an insanely expensive money sink, unneeded musk subsidy, and just plain doesn’t work.
The dude is right though. The most important part of being a programmer is designing an elegant solution. That requires talking the problem through, solliciting feedback, getting ideas… you meeting with ppl and talking to them.
The second most important part of being a programmer is realizing that you’re not doing this alone. Once again, you talking to colleagues to discuss what they can expect and when, likewise what you need and when.
Meetings are super important. Unless your a code monkey or if it’s office gossip or me having to spend an hour explaining why a job estimated to take 4 weeks will not be done next Friday. And no, “trying a little harder” or “realizing how important this to the client” isn’t going to change that.
Tbh, I thought they had already done that.
I use a plate. But just the one plate. I had friends over a while back and had to wash my other plates before serving. They were covered with dust.
Writing documentation
I think there’s a difference between not knowing the UI and not understanding the tech.
E.g. in windows, you might not know which button to press to connect to the wifi, but you sure as hell understand that without an internet connection you can browse the web.
The latter is way more frustrating to deal with. Especially if it’s an older person who straight-up doesn’t want to know how it works.
I can see myself becoming a member of the former. Hope I never join the latter.
My grandmother used to say: if you expect your good deed to be reciprocated, you’re not actually doing a good deed.
She said it in dutch, so I hope it’s an decent translation.
Tbh, reddit did win. They’re set to become a highly commercialized social media platform, focused on maximizing engagement through generic content.
They may lose dedicated eccentrics looking for a welcoming place to geek out over shit in their niche community. They’ll also lose users who value long in-depth discussions with complete internet strangers.
But, Reddit doesn’t want our need those people. As long as they have the generic subs (like r/funny, r/pics) and the outrage groups (like r/aita, r/publicfreakout), they’ll keep getting views and sweet sweet ad money. And that’s all Reddit cares about.
Soapshover all the way. All the way.
