@nixCraft Google is doing like that husband who cut off his sexual attributes to spite his wife.

@nixCraft i think you missed the incomprehensible "productivity" gains that *totally* aren't based on pure vibes

@nixCraft Doing BDD by hand and referring to my retirement savings as „euthanasia fund”.

Same old, same old.

@nixCraft I've been working my ass off outside for 1/3 the money and sometimes I hate it but mostly it feels great.

Except for the excruciating pain it's great.

Hard labor and spondy don't mix very well but so far I'm managing it. I'm 50 and I haven't put in like this since I was 24 so I'm only able to do half a day but I'm building up.

Fuck it. Maybe letting AI write all that stupid shit is fine. Nobody actually wanted my expertise anyway. They just wanted a program they could hawk.
