When you have multiple Gentoo machines, you compile soft once and distribute it. You would be mad to compile everything every time.

I mean, it can be the ONLY game you ever play ;)

Dwarf Fortress.

But you need to read the wiki :)

Calamity.

It's like a second game.

I can't believe people don't add it to the recommendation every time.

Finish Terraria, get Calamity, go nuts.

Lose the critical part of your business, see how fast you can move around it.

I don't think that is necessary, as some companies do actually help, either with money or even dedicated staff, which can be as good or better.

We should push for developers to promote the idea of more help towards FOSS projects, maybe find some hours a month, or send any money saved from not paying for licenses.

But I also harp a lot to my superiors about donating to open-source projects we utilize, make loads of money thanks to them, yet never give anything back.

I kinda get that some projects with limited backing can't "get their shit together", when successful users don't give them anything. It's a stupid pattern, and I hope we can break it.

I tried to get our team to move to Matrix when COVID hit and there was no infrastructure for remote work.

It was such a shame that it was that exact time Jitsi had issues with Firefox (which most of us use), so we couldn't videochat.

If Jitsi had that resolved immediately, we perhaps could have used something open for at least couple of years. Maybe others would follow suit.

Oh well. Teams it is.

Which is something I always try to explain to juniors: writing code is cool, but for your sake learn how to READ code.

Not just understanding what it does, but what was it all meant to do. Even reading your own code is a skill that needs some focus.

Side note: I hate it to my core when people copy code mindlessly. Sometimes it's not even a bug, or a performance issue, but something utterly stupid and much harder to read. But because they didn't understand it, and didn't even try, they just copy-pasted it and went on. Ugh.

Yesterday this image randomly popped into my head.

Today I see it on Lemmy.

It's always hilarious.

It was 41% of execs saying workforce will be replaced, not 41% of workforce will be replaced
