Ah, I see someone went on a deep dive of Utah lore after reading the PornHub ban thread

feels like it will lead to a pyrrhic victory at best by making your average Joe more skeptical of government overreach

This is basically how all climate regulations are perceived at the end of the day, and it’s the primary fuel for my most doompilled opinions for sure.

Counter-point: I’ve dealt with engineers who certainly would’ve considered themselves this article’s brand of “craftsman”. But all it really meant was that they tolerated their own TODOs in the code and no one else’s. Theirs were obviously justified and smart and correct TODOs and yours were just nonsense, trivial, brutish TODOS.

Too frequently this attitude is just a bad cover for acting like your shit don’t stink.

For the love of god people don’t use any website to generate passwords, it’s practically begging to be compromised.

Ironically enough Covid showed us how fast emissions could be curbed and how quickly nature started to reclaim space when it was given room to breathe. The canals in Venice flowed clear for the first time in decades, air quality the world over improved drastically, etc… we all saw it, and nobody gave a fuck.

Everyone is too concerned with their bottom dollar and it’s gonna be too late to change once the collapse starts.

I won’t be predictive or prescriptive about the markets. But it’s clear that tech giants will soon have to fall or evolve.

The great shake up has started. Google pissing their pants with AIs abrupt arrival, Twitter dying a death by a million cuts, Facebook in mid-air making their VR play, the tech skyline will look very different in 5 years.
