That’s incorrect.

100% My firm caters to a very niche segment and that segment requires highly reliable and optimized operations. We are beyond booked. We literally have three environment upgrades and a go live tomorrow (simultaneously) for three different clients. We clean after the vibe coders and get paid very well for our services.

My advice remains the same. There just isn’t a great future in software dev. Yes, to this day we still value custome tailored clothes and hand made, expertly crafted shoes. That doesn’t change the fact that almost all of our clothes and shoes are low quality, quasi- disposable, and 100% machine made.

Will they collapse? I don’t think you are taking into consideration the rampant corruption in the government. We’re going to end up footing the bill…I guarantee it.

If you interpret “their expectations” as “better”, then let me correct that assumption. Their expectations are to crank out more with less. More what? Yes.

The future is slop code everywhere because profit driven execs will no longer be limited by quality conscious engineers.

Called it.

I’m a tech exec. My friends and colleagues of 25+ years include CEOs and other C level execs of very recognizable companies. Etc, etc, blah, blah. I can, with absolute certainty, say that software dev as we know it todayis a dead field.

☝️ This is the mindset out there, and it is spreading. More scary than that is that the technologies are starting to keep up or exceed their expectations.

Do I think that knowing code will be useful? Absolutely. If you are good enough to tear it apart, break it, and fix it better than before, you will be useful. Will you be able to make a good living off of it? Only if you are exceptional, but how do you become exceptional at a job if nobody gives you a job?

I have a Pixel 9 and I had no idea this slop generator was a thing until now. I checked my phone and, sure enough, the app is there. That must be the most ignorable icon ever made.

She likes putting guests on the hot seat.

I think step one is to put John on a PIP. He seems highly disruptive to the team.

Watching Bad Bunny through MyBunny. Heh.

A Sig? Jesus would need to pray to himself that the gun doesn’t go off and shoot his holy dick off.

This popped into my feed so you’re all going to have to suffer through it too.

The word “failure” implies that there was an attempt.

Senator Mitch McConnell appears to be stalling the voting bill backed by President Trump, and fellow Republicans are not happy. McConnell, who leads the Senate Rules Committee, is refusing to schedule a vote on the legislation, thus preventing it from moving forward. The bill would create barriers for voting, requiring specific forms of ID in order for Americans to exercise their constitutional right.

In blocking it, the retiring senator and former majority leader has drawn the ire of his colleagues. Representative Tim Burchett posted a video on X Friday saying McConnell’s actions are partially coming from a place of “meanness” because he doesn’t like Trump, and called his mental acuity into question.

“He’s blocking the SAVE Act, or is he? Is it him or a staff member, because as you know, he’s a lot like Joe Biden was in his last few days in office, or last years in office,” Burchett said. “His cognizant level is diminishing daily.”

Burchett went on a tangent about how much of Congress is run by staffers because certain aging members of Congress have diminishing mental capacity, citing the case of Representative Kay Granger, the former House Appropriations Committee chair who disappeared for months in 2024 and was later found to be living in an independent living facility.

Representative Anna Paulina Luna also attacked McConnell, claiming on X without evidence that “over 84% of Americans and 95% of Republicans want voter ID. Why do you completely disregard the will of the people who voted for you?”

McConnell’s stance has similarly drawn the attention of right-wing personalities on social media who have been calling out his mental acuity for days over the bill, which doesn’t have the 60 votes necessary to overcome a Senate filibuster.

Representative Andy Barr, who is running to fill McConnell’s seat in November, wrote a letter to the senator last week asking for his help to pass the bill, to which McConnell hasn’t responded.

Last year, McConnell wrote in The Wall Street Journal that such a bill would give a future Democratic president and Congress the ability to “use more sweeping mandates to carry out a complete federal takeover of American elections.”

“The current administration has better ways to spend its time than laying the groundwork for a leftwing election takeover,” McConnell wrote. Burchett’s attempt to call out McConnell’s age and fitness is not without merit, as the senior Kentucky senator has had health issues and noticeable mental lapses. But not only is Burchett ignoring the long-term implications of the bill, he is also selectively ignoring the very clear cognitive decline experienced by the president of the United States.

We don’t fund sports for shit. The only thing we fund is the military. We fund the Olympic team because that’s just PR and marketing, but outside of that,you’re on your own.

Just deport them to Israel. They seem to be quite enamored with it anyway.

I am old enough to get that joke. 😭
