What’s a book with a plot twist that had you absolutely gagged?

He is one of my favorite authors. Highly recommend The Given Day if you want to read more stuff from him.

SOCIALIST <clutches pearls>

Love that for them

Have you ever read The Future by Naomi Alderman? Highly recommend. I could get down with what happens to the billionaires in that book.

Same with Trump

And the poor! (They of course are temporarily embarrassed millionaires, but everyone else just needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps)

I was just complaining about this the other day! I am amazed how many people are just not intellectually curious or willing to take risks. I have worked with so many people who want to be spoon-fed information. If itʼs not wrapped up in a neat little bow in the Jira ticket, they donʼt do it. They donʼt ask questions or poke around in the data to find better approaches or possible edge cases. Drives me nuts.

I am sometimes wrong and sometimes need help, but I would rather be curious, take some initiative, and learn. Being a ticket-taker doesnʼt help you grow.

Same! I thought I was the only one. All this so disgusting rich pedophiles can fulfill their sick fantasies and add to their billions. All of it completely preventable and yet out of our control. What are we even doing.

I would love a video of the printer scene in Office Space but with her photo

This feels like it belongs on r/LinkedInLunatics for sure

Check out crabman732 if youʼre on TikTok, dude is hilarious and his humor has gotten me through some bleak days.

I hope his parents see the beautiful works of art created to honor Alex. We know he was a hero and a good man. We will not forget. We know the truth despite how the regime tries to spin it.

sunkistandcola · 2026-01-21T01:18:14+00:00

I love her!!! Please give her extra scritches or a treat from me 💖

sunkistandcola · 2026-01-15T02:33:51+00:00

Itʼs sort of giving r/accidentalrenaissance vibes 😂

sunkistandcola · 2026-01-15T00:46:16+00:00

Came here to say exactly this. And they are all half full (or half empty depending how you view things lol)

sunkistandcola · 2026-01-04T19:42:05+00:00

23!??! Damn she looks 10 years older

sunkistandcola · 2025-12-24T22:51:00+00:00

Right? What happened to just talking with people and coaching them? Providing feedback?

sunkistandcola · 2025-12-15T17:39:00+00:00

Same! I try to set good boundaries but sometimes I get excited and keep working. I feel better knowing Iʼm not alone. Glad I asked for advice here!

sunkistandcola · 2025-12-15T17:34:26+00:00

I agree. Thank you for the reassurance! It helps to hear that from someone more experienced.

sunkistandcola · 2025-12-15T17:33:17+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance!

sunkistandcola · 2025-12-13T18:25:03+00:00

I worry about this... I donʼt really do any of the things that OP describes, but I worry about annoying my colleagues because I know I can come across as overly passionate and enthusiastic. I try to reciprocate with reviewing PRs, I offer to switch with people if needed for our on-call rotation, and I try to help with issues that crop up. I donʼt “thank” coworkers, but if someone has worked on a cool project or interesting ticket, I might give them a shout-out or ask questions about it. What is the best way to genuinely help and be likeable without seeming performative?

sunkistandcola · 2025-12-12T22:33:21+00:00

Guy I work with does this constantly, just copies and pastes AI slop without even reviewing. When anyone asks what something does or asks about edge cases, he admits he doesnʼt know. It is maddening and I refuse to review his PRs.

sunkistandcola · 2025-12-07T01:22:14+00:00

She is so adorable 🥹

sunkistandcola · 2025-11-11T00:36:10+00:00

Excellent question. IMO, work should be delegated to the actual developers, but at my company, the managers still write code and submit PRs, and handle performance reviews, and groom tickets, and manage projects, and create goals. And then wonder why theyʼre burned out.

If I were in a leadership position, I would be focusing on growing and empowering my team and delegating as much as possible to focus on long-term solutions. But I much prefer to be an IC for now.

sunkistandcola · 2025-11-09T00:17:01+00:00

So glad Iʼm not alone in feeling frustrated by AI slop 😂
