@antigermgerm oh, but you would.

von der leyen has been well-known for gross, near criminal incompetence from the first time she appeared in public. she has not yet, in any way, redeemed herself even the slightest bit.

she was born in belgium, by the way. maybe it's just something in the water there.

@retoor everything is brave if you're retoor enough.

JS isn't last, so it's wrong by default.

also: LaTeX is turing complete and therefore a progamming language by definition.

i rate this tier list "F"

> The ridiculous and unprofessional behavior on display in modern times was unheard of even 15 years ago.

no. it's not "unheard of" just because you didn't hear it.

trust me, any "ridiculous and unprofvessional behavior" that exists now has been around since mankind exists.

well... if you're brave enough, i guess...

@cuddlyogre you missed my point of "open source software has ALWAYS been written by ideologists".

and you're kinda required to know about those believes by reading the corresponding licenses. which you oughta do before using software.

and the pursuit of truth is never "totally neutral" in a world where ideologies exist that oppose the truth (aka religion, patriotism, etc.)

all of the open source world is based on the "ideology" of "all people should have free access to dev tools".

@Lensflare languages matter. but not as much as you think.

languages are tools(*). some better, some worse. some more specialised, some more generalised. and how you use a tool matters more than the tool itself.

but most important is the wisdom to pick the right tool for the job. for that, you need to know what the job exactly is. and for that purpose, programming languages don't matter.

(*) except javascript. javascript is divine punishment.

@antigermgerm we all know you are "special"

and we're all hoping you'll get the "special" care and "special" padded room you deserve.

and the princess is usually in another castle.

correction: bureaucracy is one of the biggest impediments in life.

@AvatarOfKaine you can't understand that doesn't exist

@BordedDev

> Why the hate on shelves?

retoor probably has some PTSD from her last job as an elf.

@BordedDev

the tastiness order of mushrooms is

1) chanterelles

2) boletus edulis

[...]) everything not mentioned

int.max-1) literal mold

int.max) champignons

@retoor

> I only like champigons

do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior, Chanterelles?

@antigermgerm if you can find an electron microscope, we could send a picture of _your_ dick.

no

@HighTurtleDev then screw them.

send a picture of your middle finger.

depends.

you like your employer on a personal level? enough to help them out of your own pocket? do so.

you don't like them enough? send them a quote.

you don't like them at all? send them a quote with a special premium rate that's 2x+ times your regular rate.

"hating yourself" is what windows runs on.

@kiki it's also a problem in the scenario "small scale foreign actor that doesn't like you".

which is a scenario that's basically always on.

@WillemD i'd even say that 100% of managers are bad at managing, period.

@kiki still, a stockpile is always finite. and keep in mind that nuclear plants are, strategically speaking, a prime target for enemy attacks, and therefore the dumbest possible way to secure your energy production from hostile foreign forces.

nuclear will make no difference if the uranium-exporting countries say "fuck you", too.

now wind and sun - that's energy sources that can't be put under an embargo.

also: "no growing food in nordic countries"?

so all the inhabitants up there are just living off the air?

@kiki sorry, but it IS an implementation of scrum. as much as any other implementation.

otherwise, that's like saying linux mint isn't linux just because it's not as awful as SUSE...

i think the primary mistake most people do with scrum is to see it as a strict ruleset, or simply as a way to "stretch the waterfall", instead of a flexible toolset.

@kiki this completely opposes my experiences with scrum.

we use it mostly to plan what's gonna happen within the next sprint. and if the customer says "but i need THAT done today, and i need THIS done differently", we use scrum as a basis to tell the customer "fuck you. this is what's planned, this is what you're getting, and this is what you're paying for. want something different? wait for the next sprint."

but then again, we're doing scrum the right way by not doing scrum in the textbook way.

@kiki scrum, when done well, is actually not terrible. it's just that managers are too dumb to do it well.

yeah, well.... do incredibly unhealthy things, don't complain about reaping unhealthy results.

@Lensflare ...or at least something that is slightly more amusing than Absolute Zero on the amusement-scale?
