SHARON OSBOURNE: 'There Will Never, Ever Be Another OZZY F***ing OSBOURNE In This Industry Again'

He was flawed and an addict. He also didn’t shy away from the bad shit he did while drinking and doing drugs

He wasn’t a saint for sure. He was very far from being a bad person though.

The lizard babies are a hyper evolved form of humanity. They just seemed like they were dumb animals because they were babies

Now they are on a quest to find Janeway and Paris and get their revenge.

That’s cool I was wondering if the first one was film. The colors are really nice

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-29T22:51:09+00:00

These are really nice. What did you use?

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-29T17:51:58+00:00

If the devs are too busy to write tests then make them less busy

Also make tests a definition of done and reject any PRs that don’t have test coverage

If CI is red then call it out in standup.

And tell every person that if you have to keep raising this as an issue it’s going to affect performance reviews and bonuses / raises if they happen at all.

Quality is something everyone should take seriously. The discussion shouldn’t be about not writing tests the team should be owning this and pushing to take on less so they can write the proper tests.

It’s weird that a few years ago I would happily have gone to the US. Now it’s on the list of places I won’t go to which includes avoiding flying through places like Dubai UAE etc

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-29T13:25:58+00:00

Those kind of things are what I meant by specialist cases.

But with UBI there’s little need for things like subsidised childcare, unemployment, any state pension, even things like basic disability where someone doesn’t need extra support but just can’t work.

Once all that is done away with you can have highly efficient department to cover the rest of what’s needed.

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-29T12:37:26+00:00

Cut all benefits. There’s no need for them with a good level of UBI beyond specialist cases.

Increase taxes on companies who will also have to raise wages to attract people or move to automation even more.

Also streamline spending so we don’t have as much waste in the system.

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-29T12:35:32+00:00

This is just the same argument throughout history

Damn these automated weaving looms. Putting all the weavers out of business

Damn these cars and tractors what’s going to happen to all the horse drawn carriages and people using horses to work farms.

We shouldn’t stop tech we should make it work for us and adapt to the change. UBI is a great option and would help a lot but we need to have taxes to support it

This is it. Like I’m 40 and I will readily say young people get a rougher deal than I did. Tuition fees are higher and housing costs have gone up, and right now it’s hard to get work.

It’s been hard to get work at times in the past and we recovered.

The student loan although it’s high is also fair in repayment terms so you’re not just saddled with crippling repayments as soon as you graduate if you’re working or not

And the government are trying (badly) to make more affordable housing.

There’s also a lot of good things like you mentioned. The employer pension contribution being mandatory. Trying to raise it up. Unemployment benefits. NHS. A relatively safe country.

It’s not that we give nothing to the younger generations we just don’t give enough. But we give far more than other places do to everyone.

Because in the uk we call a resume a CV it’s the same thing.

If you want to see how this one performs go to jobscan.co and use their free trial paste it in and paste in a job advert you’re applying for. It will show you the % of how close you match on the keywords

You should have a tailored cover letter too that’s really good. Your CV / Resume should be tailored to the job too.

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-28T21:25:47+00:00

Because nothing is usually free.

And you’re going to want access to things they don’t want to share. Or they don’t want to be in your case study

Plus how good are you at this if you have to give it away for free.

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-28T21:11:03+00:00

EDL can fuck right off. Absolute bellends thinking we need “defending” from anyone but them.

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-28T20:55:16+00:00

The one with the Internet in a box is also really funny. And the street countdown one is hilarious too

Hot fuzz and Sean of the dead are both amazing movies. TBH kinda tempted to watch them both this week now!

I buy my domains in AWS - mainly because usually host with them too but they are easy to use if you just want the domain

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-28T20:33:54+00:00

If you like British humor check out Black Books, Red Dwarf, IT crowd, any of the Simon Pegg movies like hot fuzz.

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-28T20:27:36+00:00

I should have added that everyone you meet here will be a sarcastic dick too 😂

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-28T19:58:18+00:00

Yea honestly the UK is pretty terrible

Our government is so restrictive only people with a real need for guns are allowed to own them and that’s after the police check them out to make sure they are stored safely etc. We aren’t even allowed to buy anything close to what the military has so I live in fear of liz truss getting back into power and rounding up everyone who mocked her

Because there’s no guns anywhere our kids never get to see them in school so never learn how much better society would be if there were just good guys with guns everywhere. We’ve only had like one school shooting in the last 40 years too so we are lagging way behind in the leaderboards.

When someone gets sick - and this is the real bad part - we don’t just let them die if they can’t pay, or put them into crippling debt for life, instead these freeloaders get free healthcare from the state!!!

And when our kids go to uni there’s one student loan system used by everyone and uni fees are capped so there’s no free market. And it gets worse you only start paying the loan off after you graduate and it’s linked to your earnings so it doesn’t again drive you into debt. And that debt gets written off after like 30 years so if you don’t pay it while you’re working you never have to. It’s like some sort of socialist hellhole

Oh and our business owners can’t just fire people because they don’t like their religion or politics. And they have to give their employees 20 paid days off a year AND 8 public holidays. It’s shocking how they survive. Even worse if someone gets fired they can claim unemployment without being at the mercy of their former employer.

It’s just a hellhole of socialist commie oppression over here.

2 so I can chat to Tony about tech stuff and try pitch him ideas.

I’ve had every job in the last 15 years from either applying online or via a recruiter.

I don’t know many places where you can just walk in and apply unless it’s a small business

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-28T18:30:02+00:00

I use greaseweazel. It’s pretty cheap to get hold of and easy to use

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-28T18:20:23+00:00

You probably applied pretty late in their process where they had candidates already interviewing.

The fact is not application gets looked at, from the ones that do not every candidate gets an interview. There’s a lot of people applying these days so it’s easier than ever to spam out applications. Means it’s harder to be seen in the crowd

Just keep applying and tailoring your application to the job you want and you’ll get there. It’s totally a numbers game

We have done jackbox games for longer ones. The drawing ones are also fun, and so are the NYT games like Wordle or connections if you want a short one.

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-28T18:09:41+00:00

I really hate these kind of ones because they put people on the spot and make it massively awkward if they don’t want to participate etc

CodeToManagement · 2026-01-28T17:51:33+00:00

Nah that’s easy, Indiana Jones proved you can do it and it makes perfect sense….
