So true!
My first job was at a Taco Bell. I used to go in high every day. Sometimes I'd amuse myself by trying to convince the occasional customer that Bob Dylan had eaten at that location once (he hadn't).
Lofgeornost I still want to know how the three #$@%! sea shells work!
But he could have.
Yeah, there's like 5 topics or subjects you have to rate yourself on... Then twice a year they'll probably tell you you got your ratings all wrong?
I don't need any of that. The use for an Alexa eludes me. That shit just makes me sad.
I can say it is handy to ask it to play music and do timers and spell things and look up info when you're hands are busy.
I keep telling you it's not a fantasy world. It just looks like one because we're descended from gaffers and carpenters who were left behind on one of the bigger Lord of the Rings sets.
I dunno - if it was real I'm sure it would be on the maps. The interwebs told me they sometimes put fake islands on the maps so they can tell when somebody's copied their design.
Hate that game. Horrible UI and crap instructions. After playing I feel like winning just gets me back to where I'm started minus hours played.
Is that the work around these days? The secondary market?
Except things like crontab -e (edit your scheduled jobs) vs crontab -r (remove the list of scheduled jobs) and fat fingering that one.I've been working with windows on a paid basis for about 20 years or so now, and it's getting worse, if anything. One of the things I like about Linux (or Unix, for that matter) is that CL user interfaces basically do what they're told without side-effects from accidentally fat fingering some poorly documented hot key that does something you didn't need. Smart phone UIs are even worse - built with ergonomics scaled for an Asian teenager, and are too small and too sensitive. Plus, there are a wide variety of gestures that you can't undo without dropping everything and hunting through layers of menus to try and figure out what the setting you just toggled was.
To paraphrase Linus -

did a number of bad things like this over the years
I don't know how well that would scale in practice, but Ebay's been my preferred supplier for about 20 years now.
Man that management doesn't seem to be in the real world. Does it desperately desire a massive personnel change? Because that's what I would expect.
Gaslight them back. Keep working from home 5 days a week. Every time they ask you to come in, agree (but never refer to the fact that you have not come in like they asked you). Repeat.
Bunch A fair number of management would wet themselves with glee over the idea of people leaving, having a pipe dream of outsourcing work overseas. A number of contracts we have expressly prohibit that, but they have a mindset that remaining workers on the continent can work themselves to death to make up the difference in workforce composition.
Vile I’m actually just doing my job and waiting for them to realize the issues that now exist due to me being at the office full time.
I left out a where clause in a db statement. You can guess the damage done. Now I right a where clause first and the action second.Except things like crontab -e (edit your scheduled jobs) vs crontab -r (remove the list of scheduled jobs) and fat fingering that one.

one of the first sysadmin errors i did was rm -rf on a directory of 20G of mp3s in the late 90s. I felt sick... physically I cannot eat sick... for 2 days.
I deleted the production database because this was 1995 and proper development environments were rare. My desktop PC had an addressable internet address because every PC in the office had a publicly addressable IP address because reasons. I mean looking back at it is crazy how poorly setup and protected that office was.
