Quit at lvl 30. It was actually very satisfying to enjoy the quiet after the experience.


Just went a month without cigarettes today, yay! Still overweight :(


Bit of a Dickies move, if you ask me..


A fun way to die, would be to transition digitally into the cloud as data for some sort of future "humanity LLM" that would be inquired in the future. The Council of Elders


Somehow i feel that Birdolingo would be a better name :)


Honestly i stopped reading after "organic eggs from a dumpster" as this seems to be just one more person that is "out of the system" by just parasiting on the system itself. Like many "anarcho" punks i have personally met they really do not have an issue thinking that they are out of the system while living off its infrastructure and using its emergency rooms when needed. Im all for a different lifestyle and a better society ( whatever that might mean to you) but most of these approaches are just childish


He does answer some of these criticisms in another post:

Yep this "system" falls apart without being linked inherently to the system it claims to be dropping out of. If a large number of people tried this they'd all starve.


If everybody did it seems like a weak argument to me as it is quite clearly a minority endeavour and will always be so.


Homelessness will stop being a minority endeavor once AI-driven job automation becomes widespread.


Happy new year from Croatia!


You are usually not dropped in the middle of a spreadsheet with infinite rows/cols in each direction. You start at topleft which makes navigating much less 'exploratory'


If I recall correctly, Lego Mindstorm's GUI-based programming application (along with its various iterations) did something similar too, starting at a "leftmost" side of an infinite canvas.


“Americans don’t really like big things – people get worried about concentrated power,” O’Mara said.

Hmmm....Okay? (not American)


Yes, America has fought with the concept of a central bank for a while so it got more than a dozen of them to create the federal reserve system exactly because it doesn't like concentrated power.


America has consciously busted monopolies in the past. Not so much nowadays, so some skepticism is definitely warranted. It seems that huge swathes of the economy are dominated by outright monopolies or comfortable oligopolies.


Maybe a naive approach but if you pull it off it works. You like to solve problems, right? Treat the process as a problem. Treat it as set of restrictions you must work with and conciously try to maximise your skill at mitigating the issues that annoy you.

personally i think devs in the usual scrum process can do most for themselves in actively participating is user story/ticket (re)formation during one of the (too many) meetings you have. Creating well crafted chunks of work make for a very perceptible sense of "joy" you want to find during programming and avoiding, at least in my experience.

Try to fix it if you don't like it cause you're probably going to suffer through it either way.

Sometimes drinking the scrum/agile du jour kool aid gives you a sense of credibility rather than just rebeling silentlyagainst it you get some tools to try to modify into something more enjoyable and sensible
