It can really speed up a senior dev working in an unfamiliar ecosystem. Concepts often apply across tech but syntax and implementations are different. Especially for the "declarative" things where, in my experience, the syntax is fiddly and it's not always easy to see where you went wrong. Speeds me up with Terraform, or a recent example was configuring some OpenSearch indices and queries. I've never worked with that before but it was able to help me get some boilerplate going that let me start iterating, much more quickly. I get more done when I'm outside my wheelhouse.

But one of the downsides of course is it occasionally sends me down a hallucinatory rabbit hole for something that doesn't exist, lmao.

Naked greed has a way of making even the orangest turd seem to sparkle like gold.

I love stories from hardware / embedded design. Reminds me that black magic is real, and it's a miracle any of this works.

Is this a game to you? Do you see the dead-serious commitment on this man's face?

Make no mistake, I see it as very likely that this problem doesn't get solved without significant violence.

Great, now I'm Team Old-Testament-God

The high road is gone.

Republicans reshaped their party from the inside via the Tea Party dorks. We're all worse off for that, but - at this point, the only path forward is for Democrats to do the same, reshape the party by going hard left, vehemently attack the corporate Democrats (almost all of them).

E: typos

:(

Lmao but why? Are Polish folks especially concerned about the bathroom habits of their elders?!

Edit to add: before even knowing what it meant this one was my favorite.

Seriously. There's no reasonable argument that they should have been allowed to continue to exist after that.

I really wish we'd start prosecuting and imprisoning leadership boards for really anything the company does wrong. It's really amazing the way we let companies just get away with every single thing, I mean how much more predictable could the slide to shittiness be?
