Yesterday I experienced a developer related situation in a completely different scenario. Let me explain:

A friend asked me if he can borrow my angle-grinder. As I was curious, I asked what he needs it for. As he is not that experienced in woodworking he wanted to cut small piece of wood with it. Of course I told him, that this tool is a complete overkill and recommend him to use a small saw.

Now what makes this programmingrelated:

I believe that often unexperienced programmers tend to use to heavy tools for small tasks. His lack of experience let him choose the most powerful tool, but made him blind for analysis of the actual problem.

Just wanted to share with you something that happened today.

So I was looking to buy a flight ticket from Austin to Chicago. I looked at the price and it was about 360$ so I thought I will just fly to Milwaukee and use the train to Chicago. I found a flight to Milwaukee for 140$ with 1 stop at Chicago. 😂😂😂

holy fuck, UFOs are now moving to the "mainstream discourse"?????

yes, just like AI, world's ending, all the jobs are gone!!!

just like covid (remember that one?) world's over, we all died!

let me repeat it for you:

shut the fuck up
shut the fuck up
shut the fuck up

what the fuck went wrong with the vast majority of people along the way????

i'm going to the mountains, i'll be back...

never

inb4 "have some creativity fullstackclown!" "isn't it cool to think about?!"

shut up, using your fucking head that is a result of millions of years of evolution seems much more exciting than taking 4 grainy ass videos as truth and getting hyped up about it

show me a shred of valid evidence and i'll believe. however, evidence does NOT include:

- some big wig CLAIMING or SAYING they exist, regardless of their credentials - i don't care if fucking honest abe lincoln himself rises from the grave and says UFOs are real
- a photo or video that looks like it was taken in the 1920s
