10 YouTube videos == 557 blocked ads. 👌

Your variable's name so long the IDE gave up auto completing it.

Is it just me or has german tv become more and more ad-ridden? A few years ago it was considered a dick move to play a single ad during an episode.
Now some channels continue the tv program but make it smaller so they can show an ad on the sides. And whenever i switch to the most popular channels i get an overlay that is basically an ad too.

I switched to livestreams and web-based tv for a reason, and that's because tv ads get more intrusive with every year. And don't get me started on the bullshit that smart tv's do nowadays, by that i mean sending data home.
I can't wait for tv to die out or to be replaced by an ip-based protocol just like telephones did.

What companies think they're hiring for - software engineers. Actually they're looking for unicorn duct tapers.

All the youtubers ranting about adpocalypse, watchtime and such for weeks now..

And tbh i didn't really care. But for fucks sake the AI youtube uses to recommend videos indeed sucks!

You know back in the days, when you listened/watched part 1 of a playthrough and were just fine with the upcoming video because it was part 2, 3, 4 and so on of the series?

FUCK THIS. How about now that you saw part 1 of Scykohs "Pokemon Snap Playthrough", watch some random fucking shit of jacksepticeye?

FUCK YOU. THENKS.

I used to fall asleep and wake up with some chill ass gameplays on my tv. But now I fall asleep with using my remote to direct myself to the next part of the video and wake up to some random ass content nobody wants to watch.

FRIGGIN FIRSTWORLDPROBLEM I KNOW BUT IT SUCKS.

Is it common to have CTO who don't know shit and yet gets to make the call? What can be done to prevent this imbalance at work?

Who should be setting the versioning and features it should come along with? The dev team or perhaps the product manager?
