Now the real question is what package manager are they using? apt or yum? Lol

If you do promise to be as incredulous as I was when he gave me the ticket. Like man don't you have better shit to be doing? Let's ignore the fact he thankfully didn't see me kicking rear view mirrors a couple of blocks previous because they were parked in the bike lane.

Jesus Christ I was an ornary youth lol

I was drunk and high out of my gourd one night biking home along Bloor Street and got a ticket for speeding lol. This was maybe 2004. I have thankfully matured since then.

If it's anything like my work and their RTO a few things.

  1. hR is well aware of attrition rates and I bet they're through the roof
  2. Any new hires are probably not the best or brightest they could expect to hire

So expect quality at Amazon to decline. It may not be outwardly visible but mark my words for those that are still there it will devolve into a chaotic shit show of overworked employees that are left backfilling work for those who left and the incompetence that came in.

I mean I understand his sentiment but the system is working exactly as defined. When he says stuff like Facebook, Apple, Microsoft used to work it's not for a lack of trying. Their MO has not changed since the 80's. What has changed is the ability to execute on their MO.

The companies are fine. The problem is societal. Hackers ain't gonna fix shit.

Same thing happened a few months later but with roofies.

Gave me an LOL thnx. As someone who's midlife now I love looking back at my parallel and knowing those days are long past. Sounds like you can say the same thing.

I will continue to argue that GenX is the only true technology literate generation because we grew up with the technology as it evolved. Future generations are more consumers not partners in the technology they own.

Yea it's a vast generalization but Apple is a good analogy of this. Most people now just want "a technology that works" without any understanding or control over how it works. That's a recipe for technological serfdom under the new generation of technocratic companies designed to own us.

Am I ever going to own a free phone? Probably not, but that doesn't excuse me from at least understanding from a high level all the players involved in my phone and where they're generating value from me.
