My answer is: become a “super manager.”

Honestly I'd rather die

so we’ll basically reinvent Lisp expressions, but worse

I'm on Gmail and getting flooded with it... About half of it is going to the Spam folder, which makes me wonder how it decides which of them are likely spam, since they're all very similar content-wise.

Compute keeps getting vastly cheaper and more capable; AI speeds that up.

For me:

- Enable Color Management and HDR display on non-MacOS platforms

- Play HDR video

- Support common and rising media codecs and container formats (HEVC, MKV, JXL)

- Support WebXR properly on desktop

Do they even do cost-of-living raises anymore? When I was at FAANG, my raises in the same role didn't even match inflation.

Not to mention out-of-bounds access, uninitialized memory, invalid type casting, and a ton of insidious sources of undefined behavior

I don't think materially contrasting yourself with your direct competition quite constitutes a "feud war"

Congratulations, I guess? Not everybody is lucky enough to be in your situation.

If you're not paying, you are the product.

If you consider your marriage or your kids to be a gamble, that's a sign that you shouldn't get married or have kids.

If we haven't managed to stop them brutalizing and killing unethically yet, then I don't think we'll stop them violating privacy unethically any time soon.

Well, one of the biggest drivers of consumer Linux adoption in recent years has been the Steam Deck, and compatibility with Steam games. The article explicitly calls out how this improves performance for this use case. I think your opinion is an unpopular one.

Now that's what I call an unpopular opinion.

I use Middle Gray at work, and everyone thinks I'm weird for it

Never have I, in my development career, been so overloaded with assignments as to be continuously engaged with actual work.

You must not have been working for Amazon then.

I'm not sure that holds anymore, since that article is 6 years old now and Obduction is coming up on 8... Better to compare it to the upcoming Riven remake: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1712350/Riven/

Bringing certainly would be. Selling, however...

Paragraph 2 of the article describes why.

Normal people don't even know what Docker is

That's almost how the Wii remotes worked, they just used the infrared sensor bar dots instead of the corners of the screen
