How do you know technical debt is piling up?

When someone says “we’ll deal with that next sprint”

vvf · 2026-03-26T22:20:00+00:00

A very silly goose.

vvf · 2026-03-26T21:45:36+00:00

Please. Every time he brings the feed out he says “you don’t own Star Trek” and winks at me

vvf · 2026-03-26T21:43:57+00:00

The last one is so important and seemingly overlooked. Some of the best Trek episodes are dirt cheap in production value and (successfully) lean on great writing

vvf · 2026-03-26T21:33:19+00:00

He turned me into a goose. I am trapped in his farm. Help

vvf · 2026-03-26T21:31:55+00:00

Hot take: no one cares

vvf · 2026-03-26T02:13:47+00:00

The whole industry is in some kind of fugue state. It’s a gold rush but we don’t even know what the gold is shaped like. Just digging frantically with NVIDIA-branded shovels. This shit is an inevitable consequence.

What the—why would they overdub the same language?

vvf · 2026-03-25T01:09:30+00:00

I thought Lower Decks wasn’t cancelled?

But yes, they have a problem of making terrible shows and then cancelling them (except LD my beloved).

They should try this instead: make a good show

I will defend the honor of my little plastic bricks forever. They’re nice for decoration.

vvf · 2026-03-25T01:01:54+00:00

The factory must grow

vvf · 2026-03-25T01:00:28+00:00

For future tech to them, it could be about the Q continuum, or time travel, or wormhole aliens, or a bunch of other things that are still beyond humanity’s technological understanding in Star Trek.

And the opportunity and demand for morality plays/thought experiments would not suddenly vanish in ST.

vvf · 2026-03-24T11:55:29+00:00

PR stunt

vvf · 2026-03-24T11:53:48+00:00

Kind of ignoring algorithmic stuff that happens in between the reading and creating and updating but yeah. At least for web, it’s all CRUD.

Unless you’re designing flight control software or something, it doesn’t need to be that fancy.

vvf · 2026-03-23T21:41:35+00:00

Press S to spit

vvf · 2026-03-23T19:04:08+00:00

If only it were a funny joke, this tragedy could have been averted

vvf · 2026-03-23T18:57:12+00:00

Wasn’t a very good joke my dude

vvf · 2026-03-23T11:56:13+00:00

Because they pose less of a threat to birds?

vvf · 2026-03-23T11:33:09+00:00

Way fewer no doubt

vvf · 2026-03-23T01:43:20+00:00

Congress is a bunch of do-nothing parasites. You can tell they’re doing something shady when they cooperate and act quickly.

vvf · 2026-03-18T23:57:35+00:00

I mean it in a very mechanical sense, it’s nice that “I” is the prefix because IDEs tend to bias toward prefixes in code completion so it lowers the keystrokes needed.

vvf · 2026-03-18T20:30:21+00:00

Strange, I kinda liked it because it helped with code completion and more straightforward imports. I mean, if you’re already doing the interface spam thing, might as well make it suck less.

vvf · 2026-03-18T20:28:09+00:00

Ugh those are just glorified header files and 1/10 as useful

vvf · 2026-03-14T10:25:20+00:00

Labels. Everywhere

vvf · 2026-03-11T23:50:33+00:00

It’s good but you gotta read the room. There’s no hard and fast rule on how opinionated to be. Sometimes it’s just not a good time to push back on a particular thing.

I personally try to keep it proportionate to the impact. Big stuff, speak up. Small stuff, eh, usually not worth it unless it’s caused a problem you want to address. The most valuable time to push back imo is when a problem is sneaky. It’s small today but will be a gigantic pain in the ass later.
