Loved this line from the article in particular: "The most valuable skills often emerge from the intersections between disciplines, not from their cores."

There's really much to learn from working and collaborating with other people, whether that be related to your current line of work or maybe even something else entirely. I just hope more people do approach collaborating in this manner, to make interactions more worthwhile 😄

I predict commercials in a few years that go something like this:
“Are you one of the millions of Americans who suffered financial losses as a result of DOGE negligence? You may be entitled to compensation. Please call our lawyers now for a free consultation”

Want to know what US government workers actually do, vs. the propaganda spewed by DOGE? This incredible website, "We the Builders," is full of first-person testimonials from government workers about their actual jobs, and how they make the government work for the public. https://www.wethebuilders.org/

that was a quick honeymoon:

“…concern among investors over a slowing economy and sticky inflation, leading them in search of safer assets.

Losses increased into the close as traders feared staying long into a weekend that could bring another barrage of headlines from the Trump administration, which has proposed a flurry of tariffs and other market-moving policy changes since taking charge a month ago.”

I heard the NEA is only considering proposals related to 1776 & the USA’s 250th birthday & I was feeling intensely patriotic, so I’m printing these really big posters inspired *directly* by the Founding Fathers

Of course, Microchip's perspective is that the IDE is the thing, that's one of the major things they provide to customers. But speaking as somebody who inherited a Microchip product, I don't even use the IDE except to manage the files in the project. I do everything else outside of it. Even the build. It's just not that important. Well, at least until I can't get the docs anymore. :(

cstanhope@social.coop ("Your friendly 'net denizen") wrote:

I also disagree with the idea that somehow not being in the IDE is counterproductive. The IDE isn't the thing. All my tools, on and off the computer, and all my other software is the thing. The IDE is just the place I manage some of the software processes. I don't lose productivity just because I look away from the IDE. What a narrow view of things. Booo!

I wonder how long before reading the docs just won't be an option anymore. Like the only thing we'll get is a chatbot trained on "vectorized" specifications or requirements. No docs will be written. It will be cheaper, you see.

I disagree with the idea that going to read the docs is "distracting". That's just part of the job, to understand what I'm dealing with.

here’s a tip for publications covering the DOGE coup against the federal administrative state ―and yes, #ThisIsACoup:

stop using photographs of the Afrikkkaner partying and having a good time. if anything, use photographs of him pre-plastic surgery and balding.

sociopaths, machiavellians, narcissists, sadists all FEAST on negative press. they have a pathological need for negative attention, AS LONG AS THEY LOOK GOOD ON THE PICS.

Thread, and yeah. Jenny was messed up and didn't want to mess up Forrest along with her. Eventually she figured out Forrest couldn't be messed up by anyone. He was a constant, around which everything and everyone flowed.
