    Hey op, can you finally change my user name title to something more cooler like monster vagina destroyer with longevity incarceration or bubble gum bubble yum those lips? I will pay by bitcoin or PayPal. Please don’t be pricey. You’ve done it for one Dher already. Please make another exception, just this one tyme. Thanks.

    I’ve made over 2000 posts and still no changes. Give me some form of recognition dammit. I’ve been here for a while now.



    Sorry.

    Sorry.

    There's a process that has to be followed. But I can't tell you what it is. It's kinda like fight club. Or the DMV.

    Yeah, us code monkeys need to stick together and represent a union of sorts that demands telecommute or subpar performance.

    Without my telecommute option I'd be losing my shit. I need that home-office.

    Again, telecommute == God mode.

    Have you been following the Lanetix labor dispute at all? Personally I'm glad to see programmers start to organize around labor issues, I hope we see more of it in the future. I think a lot of developers kind of have this pride thing where they're like "I'm hot shit so I can negotiate my own contract, like a star athlete" or something and we've failed to take the notion of collective bargaining serious, even though it's widely acknowledged that many developers work in really abusive death-march style environments.

    I'm guilty of that kind of thinking.

    I can't help but feel (delusionally or not) that I'm just that damn good at what I do that I don't need a union.

    But you're totally right that, once the developer ego issue can be put aside, a developers union actually makes a LOT of sense.

    I've definitely been guilty too in the past. The culture is such that if you're perceived to perform well and the money's coming in you can get away with a lot so it's easy to think of yourself as above the need for collective bargaining. But when things get tighter that freedom turns into you being expected to clean up when things go awry and pick up the slack on demanding schedules. Things have been sweet for a number of years now but it's important to remember tech has had booms and busts plenty in the past.

    I'll keep the notion in mind going forward. I'll also have to look into that Lanetix labor dispute.

    Solidarity for software developers is going to be a hot button issue soon, if it isn't already.

    The egos will always get in the way though. It'll be an interesting development.

    Originally posted by Lanny fuuuuck, fires somewhere, whole city is covered in smoke. I felt light headed from like a 10 minute walk through this shit. This sucks dick.

    All the weed farms burning up north. that was meant to be a joke but then again. it might be true. . Someone else said the same shit to me yesterday. I got a dashcam video I'll try and upload later of it looking like fog going into the city, with an erie brownish gold color and the sun is red like a blood moon. insane .. it's worse than last year on a level of severity of breathing issues but hopeful no one dies this year (which brings me to ask.. where is Malice? he was in Santa Rosa last year and was in the fire zone.. I know he's not really dead from suicide)

    I been coughing up shit with a hoarse throat and with specs of blood and a bloody nose yesterday. feels like I got sand in my eyes because the air is dry as shit.

    Sorry.

    Even though originally it was a racial - overtone in the title, I would think "African Astronaut" is way cooler sounding. the other sounds like a brag. African Astronaut isn't.
