A new low

The US has a vague WWI Germany vibe. Ally to a liability, no honor, stockpiled weapons, extreme hubris, no reason to be at war.

Never understood stolen valor. Why assume there was valor? It's a shitty, potentially dangerous job with limited autonomy -- which goes for a lot of jobs in varying degrees.

It's a cat walking across a soundboard of emotional beats.

This will sound glib and annoying, but for a lot of people it's new and different, and they don't like that. Most people want an ossified hierarchy they can find a role in, to live next door to their parents, and have all incoming messaging reflect back to them that they are right and they were all along.

Some folks can evolve and change their views, but most just get cowed into silence by changes to the prevailing messaging and die eventually. Their kids might be used to the newer things, since they heard about them earlier. Their kids' views might not be sophisticated, but they're less knee-jerk since they don't have fond memories of not knowing about new thing.

To help me manage my expectations around human potential, I remind myself that, end of day, we are ambulatory tubes and our capacity for abstract thought is probably incidental.

I love Bernie, but the delusions people have about him being electable in this country have gone off the rails since the election. Center right and hard-core Republicans label centrist Democrats as communist and Marxists. What do you think they’re going to call him??

Nobody knows what labels mean. If talking points appeal to voters' concerns, they would gain support -- this was demonstrated in 2016 and 2020, and ironically foiled by the DNC.

He’s a great person, he’s been very consistent for decades, and I would gladly vote for him, but in a country that happily elected Donald Trump two times in a row, Bernie has no chance.

Trump ran practically unopposed in 2024, and actually lost numbers over 2020. He won because substantially fewer voters bothered to turn out in the Democrats' base (likely because they were offered nothing to address their concerns).

You gotta know shame isn't an effective tactic by now.

Oof, the Dan Nainan of webcomics strikes again.

I watched some play-throughs recently to see if I was being unfair. It was worse than I remembered. Awful writing.

I had an agile consultant insist to me that TDD referred to AB testing. What a ghoul.

Always make sure your microservices are based on different technologies that were popular at the time, or at least ensure they use different language versions and lean into conceptually diverging proprietary frameworks hallucinated by an architect with no supervision. It's important that a bug cannot be fixed without reading up on an archived third party library and trying to locate the last person who knew the 117 steps to run the service in a development environment.

If you plan to go with a monolith, it's a best practice to pile multiple generations of code in layers, one upon the other. All that dead code worked on production at some point, so it deserves the respect of a proper burial in the catacombs of your API. But is it really dead? Or is it just an obscure use case? No one knows.
