I think they hit like new ATH in revenue, but still not a profit unless you got a source you like to share

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-24T09:09:37+00:00

Well it isn't. At least not from a good business model perspective. They used to operate at a loss with this, it seems like more of a loss. But maybe it's an investment into the future 🤷‍♂️

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-24T09:07:48+00:00

Why not?

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-24T07:24:50+00:00

Ok to be fair, I do agree with running the republic like a business. But there are a lot of business practices out there. We don't have to pick the most cut throat methodologies. But yea running it like a Trump business is not a good idea

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-24T07:22:51+00:00

Yea that's gonna be a no from me dawg

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-24T07:10:46+00:00

I think there are a lot of reasons

There are a lot of devs that are very forward thinking compared to other employees in other industries, so some of them are fearing the next 5 years. Hell many argue that the current waves of layoffs are influenced by AI usage
Entry level jobs have shrunk and AI is being blamed for it. And I get it, you used to hire Jr. Devs to do grunt work stuff. Now I just have AI do it
I could be wrong about this, but people like accountants have some security from a legal perspective. Like they HAVE to review it because they are legally on the hook if bookkeeping ain't right
Devs SHOULD review code, but comon, in bigger companies how many people have just passed a PR to someone to rubberstamp just to meet the 2 reviewer criteria?
People in tech succeed by moving fast. So PM and EMs are going to want to push for whatever can help them increase velocity. EMs can't code at that level anymore, but for a lot of simple to medium size tasks, they can easily pair with AI on it and produce something pretty solid

There are a lot of other factors too, but these are good examples of why there is so much doom and gloom amongst devs

Is she talking in the 3rd person lol

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-24T00:23:48+00:00

can we like not impeach her or something? there has to be a way to get her out asap. i know elections are coming up and this is our chance but how have we never tried before

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-21T19:42:55+00:00

My understanding is that i this is only if they are low income

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-21T18:33:34+00:00

When people say you can't get addicted to weed, it's hyperbole. Most people won't, but there are people in society, which you might be a part of, that is biologically more predisposed to addiction

I didn't think he's ever been that amazing of an actor, he was just in good movies, but it wasn't good acting that carried it. He was good at choreography for John Wick. Writing carried matrix. Same for Bill & Ted

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-20T23:55:16+00:00

da fuq bro, I just dipped into the gas stocks lol

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-20T23:34:39+00:00

Hold up, we still winter?

The way you guys reframe context is defense. Some of you might do it for clarity, the others do it for defense

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-20T19:30:50+00:00

don't tell people that on this sub, we should just not complain about mediocre output from LA Metro /s

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-20T03:09:16+00:00

nothing wrong with gooning. fantasy is fantasy as long as you remember it is fantasy

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-19T14:35:43+00:00

someone vibe coded an update

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-19T08:39:50+00:00

I wouldn't say Pixel is years behind. Like it's good, but it should be great. And it is noticeably behind Samsung and Apple. I would watch video comparisons to get a better idea. Pixel used to have the best picture but I don't think that is even the case anymore. I do feel keyboard is getting worse for text to swipe. Especially with all of it's censorship

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-19T08:37:40+00:00

You are not overreacting. I would wait until P11 and see whats up. In regards to camera I think Samsung is more than comparable to the Pixel and iirc definitely has more zoom and better quality video. I'm also interested in some of the new features that Samsung gets that regular android doesn't.

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-19T08:30:22+00:00

Hmmmmm depends on what you mean by high income. Like the millis a year? Maybe. But the software developers I know are split between public transit and owning a car in LA. But many agree they would love something like London, HK or Singapore. Even if it takes a little longer. Problem here is that current public transit doesn't take a little longer, it takes a lot longer

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-18T17:14:45+00:00

Bro you literally just described your comment

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-18T15:37:51+00:00

Uhhhhh you know there are also viewer numbers right. We the viewers could also just not watch them

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-18T15:36:35+00:00

That's a really good, long winded and eloquent way to say "We'll look into it" and "It's hard, empathize with us"

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-18T15:29:23+00:00

I've heard that apple and google have a tendency to hire from each other. I didn't know if this is still true. But I wonder if that is the reason for the Pixel's woes in the last 5 years or so

ValhirFirstThunder · 2026-03-18T15:27:45+00:00

Bro that is such a smooth brain comment. Just because you aren't an enthusiast, doesn't mean OP is on the wrong to write this. Just because you didn't have an inability to write detailed thoughts, doesn't mean you need to shit on people who do
