I worked there too during that time you mentioned. I only made it a year before finding another job, so that I didn’t have to give my signing bonus back, the place is poorly managed.

Service guarantees citizenship

This reminds me of that one executive that tried to turn Sears into an internal economy with its own currency and different divisions and departments had to pay other divisions and departments. Some freak at the Pentagon saw that the cafeteria system was not enough of a market economy and mandated this bullshit

It’s good that he’s experiencing a thousandth of a percent of the punishment he deserves but I also feel bad that the DRC has to be the one to hold him. I don’t want him back in the US but I don’t think it’s fair for the DRC to have to carry that burden.

In a just word he would be facing trial in Iraq for his crimes but Iraq would get leaned on very hard by the US and probably also Iran (so that they don’t start shit) so they wouldn’t do it

I never browsed the main site but I read all the library articles.

Rotten dot com used to have a library of essays about stuff.

It’s now located at https://www.rottenlibrary.net/

if you don’t believe me, wait six months

We are now on year…three? Of this mantra.

Jira, where productivity goes to die

This industry is completely screwed. The MBAs have successfully taken over the industry and turned it to shit. There’s no respect for craftsmanship, no respect for deep work, and a constant push to reduce labor costs.

Imagine being forced to write a puff piece about the cringiest thing of 2026 so far

The Democrats are full of cynical assholes like this. There’s something happening in that race that Crockett is running for that is just like they. They keep fucking doing this shit

It follows the same pattern that happened when Trump said “just take the guns”

Incredibly light critique, cringing in fear as they utter it

NRA and other 2A groups won’t say shit

The freaks on The Orange Site™ are jerking each other off at how “cool” and “revolutionary” this is. I feel sick.

Perhaps, but they did the same thing with Twitter. Part of the reason why Musk got funding from Saudi Arabia to buy Twitter was because of the Arab spring and how people used Twitter to organize.

Destroying large central platforms to fragment the opposition has been shown to be very effective

The objective was to stop any alternative narratives, so having everyone leave is an acceptable outcome for the new owners

For one really big bird

Knowing a programming language is not software engineering.

It’s like building a bird feeder and then claiming you can build a skyscraper.

He’s having a great time reading Sensible Chuckle

This guy just vibe coded a bunch of slop, based on high quality training data (everyone’s code on GitHub, including probably lots of unity projects, godot, etc). It’s sort of disgusting to me.
