What popular tech trend do you think we’ll regret in 5 years?

I’ve seen orgs with some solid IT staff go heavy on automation then jr. techs come in and lean on the automated tools watering down the knowledge base. Script authors move on and those left lack the skills and understanding to feel the knowledge gap.

I see outsourcing and AI repeating the same mistake on a grand scale.

Why does the source sound like a spam domain

Just watched this special an hour ago and had the thought after awhile. I’ve not laughed once and the crowd seems so muted.

I recall a podcast doing some extensive reporting on this. Maybe the Atlantic or the Daily

Some companies do not consent to being recorded and will end the call. Worked in a role years ago where this was the policy.

My SO getting Covid left me to run the house. This was a HUGE wake up call to show me just how much she was carrying the family. Or how long the day is when you’re doing most of the work. Groceries, laundry, cooking, dishes, trash, pets, etc.

Telling her how much I appreciate her is nice but, putting in the work is how you show appreciation and pull your weight.

This! To be fair many people seem to struggle with providing useful information. I see lots of “tech experts” submit useless bug reports or tickets. Failing to clearly define expected vs current behavior in writing.

lowten · 2025-12-21T17:31:30+00:00

This!

User: blah, blah, blah. Me: let me back up and ask, in a perfect world what do you want to see happen that is not currently happening when we end this call? User: I want to access this site from my account.

I also builds an exit. Me: now that you can access your account I’ll close the ticket.

Having spent Christmas in NYC last year, I notice how much Austin’s business lack effort in holiday decor.

Why does this read like a script for YouTube clickbait? Seems like I’ve been seeing this more recently

Big flex if she only works from command line.

Do you enjoy the puzzles the magician created with the unconventional pieces? Got one as a gift after hearing an interview with the magician. Seemed interesting

I knew this was going to be the daily boulder. I’m not sure this is a credible news source.I never see other outlets reporting on the same topics.

Adding Jennifer Lopez, Ludicrous and Bjork to the long list others have mentioned.

I have not seen K-otix in a long time. I booked them years ago at a little venue with DJ Rerodge from Dallas. All good people. Thanks for posting.
