Exactly this, I wonder why this setup (with ability for external techies to be granted temporary access) was not chosen in the first place. Considering the threat model, "my freezers all defrost at the same time all over my stores because of ~cyber~" should be a critical item to be discussed

If most of the people around you believe that making money is the logical way to survive then making money will become the goal of many to most human interactions. People will choose big publishers because big publishers guarantee them some amount of money (and services around publishing) in exchange for the ownership and monetisation rights (and then the right to sue somebody into oblivion when they break copyright law).

So the rich and vibrant ecosystem can be reality, just not within current society.

The comparison doesn't really make sense. Stockholm Syndrome is a pop-culture term that has no medical recognition and is psychologically contested

nobody becomes CEO because of being a cog, you have to intentionally seek it out and be actively willing to participate in the wage theft machine

The person in question obviously did not handle the hallucinations, though, did they?

It's vibes all the way down.

It's... really just vibes?

Where is the spec?

Regime is what western countries generally, usually call countries they don't like

Counterpoint: I give a shit about this because I love typefaces / fonts, how they are made and what the history behind them is.

I've found that using LLMs for significant amounts of code generation completely drain the result from any dopamine I would get doing it myself.

Have others noticed this as well? This is going so far as to me losing interest in side projects because I have "lost touch" with the code base.

Well, why use Elixir if I can use Clojure/Python/Ruby/Go?

Workplaces that are dictated by a boss or C-suite are anti-human as well, as they are dictatorial, not democratic.

Your work colleagues are not your family. Your superiors are not your friends. Treat every company as if they were going to look for a reason to fire you right now unless you can reasonably argue that they don't
