During COVID, I was bullied by my bosses and severely depressed. I gave my 2 weeks notice and, as part of transferring the knowledge, I drank a few strong beers and made a Zoom presentation in front of 50 people about some obscure assembly language stuff that no one cared about because it was too weird yet essential for the company. After one hour of being perfect, I answered some questions and I went back to sleep.

I won’t do it again though because it’s bad for one’s health, but it was awesome.

I achieve better results when I’m drunk-coding.

AI slop, not programming. We have a winner!

Safe about what? I get movies all the time and they are… movies?

If you download games and executable files, you’re an idiot, but it’s been like this for more than 20 years.

Spotify early projects may have used the pirated MP3s of the employees so…

Please tell me because I have been using Windows at home and at work for more than 30 years and I still believe that most people only need Firefox and LibreOffice.

For the past whole year, yes. Hacker News is now 1/3 technology, 1/3 politics, 1/3 AI. It’s annoying.

Yeah, it’s very easy… as long as it’s working, which it is not, at all.

And in a million years, people will still do everything possible except install Linux. Ubuntu is 20 years old and it was already a decent alternative to Windows back then. People are idiots and we shouldn’t be sorry for them.
