  • Does money corrupt, or is money attractive to questionable people?
  • KingThrillgore KingThrillgore Now 100%

    Lotteries are no different than stepping on people. They have to buy into the process, but the amounts allocated from lotteries for education or other grants is outpaced by what is given up in prizes. And many lotteries engage in games and mechanisms to keep people in the feedback loop of pouring money in. It's a tax on the stupid and the poor.

  • Does money corrupt, or is money attractive to questionable people?
  • KingThrillgore KingThrillgore Now 100%

    I firmly believe greed comes from two thought processes: A sense of fear, or a desire for authority. I don't know if wealth will make you a monster, but it will certainly show what you really are.

  • Beyond enshittification, why does tech oftentimes suck?
  • KingThrillgore KingThrillgore Now 100%

    Agile has poisoned software development to the point where it's fine to ship shit products that can be fixed post-release, which of course gives stakeholders and execs the reasons to tie performance and bonuses to shipping, as opposed to routine stable operations.

    I don't know if going back to Waterfall is the right fix, but something has to change. Shipping crap is the new normal. If programmers organize to fight for better wages and conditions, we absolutely must fight to hold management responsible for code quality. Get us additional hours for unit and behavioral testing, assessing and tackling technical debt, and so on.

  • Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate
  • KingThrillgore KingThrillgore Now 93%

    Hey I can relate. I miss the office too. I was far more productive there and the cooperation and mental space was better there too. But this is a new world we live in, and if you want me to drive to an office, you had better be ready to pay me a fair salary for it.

    Oh, you won't? Guess I'll go elsewhere.

  • Elon Musk declares ‘If Trump is not elected, this will be the last election’ — says voting Trump is the ‘only way’ to ‘save’ democracy
  • KingThrillgore KingThrillgore Now 100%

    He has all the time in the world to be on X as opposed to running his other companies straight into the ground. He's basically a lolcow at this point, and he has the pull and capital to drive the world into ruin.
