woohoo, 4 day weekend!

k.

- Human worker.

reminds me of that joke Zizek likes to make about dating.

two lovers meet up at ones house for Netflix and chill, she takes out her vibrator and he takes his fleshlight. they put them together to let them do what sexual machines do, so now their obligation is fulfilled and they can enjoy conversation instead.

That's a sad commentary on relationships.

Maybe you should watch the video to appreciate the full meaning of Zizek's idea.

And by "enjoy conversation instead" you of course mean, "stare at their phones and ignore each other".

aw no! Now I have to go update my LinkedIn profile!

Hey, but for real, what is with the obsession that some employers have with linkedin?

I have been passed over for interviews in a non tech-sector space, because I don't update my linkedin. How is that relevant to anything? What kind of weird policy is that?

Hello computer,

    DROP TABLE humans;

Somehow I feel this would have terrible consequences.

That is neither artificial nor intelligence.

Are middle managers either?

People love to shit on middle managers, but I can say all the ones I worked under (as a SWE, at the one company) were all smarter and more experienced than I was, and I really appreciated the mentorship.

Great. Mine asked their employees how they could help with tasks they knew 0 about, try to solve technical and political issues by playing team therapist, and couldn't even read the Scrum guide deep enough to know what is and isn't part of it.

Anecdotes are great, aren't they?

Anecdotes are crucial for they are the bed of experience.

Don't belittle someone like you did, you just make yourself the fool.

I'm sorry you've met poor middle managers bit really you didn't get your point across. Like, at all.

This is definitely how the Butlerian Jihad started.
