I will say, I would not want to be a software developer right now, but systems support is generally pretty stable (and less likely to be replaced by AI any time soon)

I almost added this as a point in my original comment, but you’re absolutely right, and its happening in other industries too (auto, for example). Its really tough to troubleshoot things you lack the permissions to fix.
I meant it a more general sense as anyone involved with the software development life cycle, but I see your point, good catch
The first step towards privatizing an industry is eroding public confidence in the existing program. They have absolutely no intention of improving the program, they just want to make it shitty enough that people stop believing in it. Once that happens, 45 will start shilling, and some lucky company will swoop in and take it over.
Textbook…
An unfortunate consequence of developers playing to the lowest common denominator of users for the last twenty years. Everything has been designed to be as easy and intuitive as possible for mobile, and troubleshooting skills have suffered as a result.
Not to mention that phones are crazy powerful and can do virtually everything these days, so fewer and fewer people are buying PCs.
If the general population is indeed “going backwards” in regards to tech literacy, it seems like demand for IT services is going to spike in the coming years. Good thing to keep in mind for young people choosing a career path!
When I refer to “generational trauma” I’m referring to the psychological and emotional affects of trauma that are passed down. For example, say a war veteran returns home but doesn’t get any treatment for their PTSD. They start a family and have kids, but physically abuse them. That child may then grow up to physically abuse their own children, and the cycle continues.
The War Thunder video game forums have been host to over a dozen military intelligence “leaks” https://taskandpurpose.com/news/us-military-sensitive-info-war-thunder-leak/
Gotta say I’m a bit perplexed by the negative reaction. Not sure what people expect from ‘shower thoughts’, haha, but such is the internet I guess. Perhaps the internet community is its own “genus” of personality that has independently evolved to the point where I can’t comprehend it. :D
I mean, the world would be a better place with more empathy, no?
I see your point, though I wouldn’t necessarily view society, or a “toxic culture”, as the medium, but rather a group of individuals who share similar generational trauma/nurturing. Another way to look at it would be that a Global/National/Regional/Familial "culture is the equivalent to Class/Order/Family/Genus in my example.
What I find interesting about generational trauma/nurturing, is that it usually evolves independent of our blood relations. Friends, teachers, community leaders, etc., each have their own level of influence on both individuals, and the broader culture, which often produces downstream effects for later generations.
This is a conspiracy theory I can get behind
Which is exactly why when Einstein got the Nobel Prize when he discovered the photoelectric! Kind of a big deal when basically everything before that was turbine driven, as you mention.
Wtf are people even buying? Different board pieces or something?
I’m an admin not a dev, but when writing complex scripts, I found using a whiteboard essential to lay out high level workflows.
Peter! Get your head in the game and quite staring at that enormous…
Yesssss. I also loved the pistol in that game. It was one of the first games i came across where the pistol was just as deadly (in the right hands) as most anything else you could get.
Side note, why the fuck don’t we have games with destructible environments anymore? I know BF4 has it, but the only other FPS I can think of that did it as well as red faction was ‘Black’ in 2006.
What if it’s spicy vodka?
Lolwut?
So… you accept a free, private jet ride, step off the plane, then bitch about your friend? The self righteous tone of your post was already giving me the “ick”, but to find out you took the ride anyway just shows you’re more interested in looking like someone who gives a shit, then someone who actually does…
Because developing a replacement for bees is certainly a better solution then saving the bees…
Bingo
