Some light reading for this weekend from @cate — my pre-order via Amazon came in (I hope they don’t rip you off on royalties for it Cate!)

@heretohinder It’s been almost 20 years since I worked at the Click and the scars are always visible

@scottkeckwarren @cate Too early in my reading to draw any conclusions. Will definitely share my thoughts when I finish

Look, tinfoil dancing boy, you don't get to do a drop split unless you can get back up from it without using your hands. I don't make the rules, Prince does.

let me get this straight: slack is going to scrape all our data and poison their relationship with their userbase so they can recommend emojis? emojis? really?

@ghorwood No. They are going to scrape all our data, sell it anyone who wants it, and all we get are “recommended emojis”

What stage of capitalism is this?

It’s pretty bold to try and replace employees with volunteers…

@Gazimoff I think that is all CYA behaviour now

Elon Musk is secretly pro-union.

Why do I say that?

Well, he's so focused on giving labor power he effectively forced them to strike against Tesla.

Truly, 8 dimensional Rochambeau going on there.

@jrconlin Temper tantrums that cost businesses money are just self-owns

Hey PHP Folks, question for you!

Back in the early 2000s, I feel like there was two big PHP development methodologies.

The "Yahoo! System" where they did all their front end in PHP, and had a lot of built in extensions to handle their business logic.

The "Facebook System" that used PHP for everything.

Is anyone still using the Yahoo! system? Do they talk about it much?

grmpyprogrammer,

@preinheimer @mwop Other than Yahoo I only came across one company that used “extensions contain business logic” and it was run by old PHP contributor Ilia Alshanetsky.

For all the talk about how “small towns are friendlier” it sure does suck that one of my neighbours has a floor fan I bought via Amazon. No point in asking because they don’t really like me due to my non-obsessive behaviour over my lawn. Cutting the lawn once a week is not enough apparently.

Courier says “package handed to resident” but Amazon has refunded me.

@sarah If I had to guess I would say they didn’t bother checking the address on the package, opened it, and figured someone else in the house ordered it. 🤷‍♂️

@SandyS1 @cxj That is some kind of dirty socialist talk

Was there ever a time when publicly-traded companies didn’t do stupid shit to juice their stock price rather than make good stuff and keep customers happy?

I don't think I'll ever understand the kind of person who says "you MUST fight with me about technology minutia. And if you choose not to, I will block you forever." Like it's such a weird combination of principles.

@polotek Just like there are many teachers who hate the students they teach, there are lots of programmers who hate the people who use the stuff they build

@psycodepath FWIW I am always surprised when a rechargeable item I bought had an almost full charge when I take them out of the box. Glad it was nothing serious
