Man, people are really liberal with the word “usable” around here. As if a plain windows install is somehow this thing that can’t be understood or used. Come on, it makes it hard to take these convos seriously. Millions of people use just plain, out of the box, Windows.

You seem so defensive, fuck

Maybe respond with points instead of general vague insults?

They quoted you and responded to multiple points. You’ve just hand waved and thrown out random insults.

OOP is pretty readable though. What would be the alternative, functional programming with no ORM?

The word “can” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. A lot of things “can” have negative effects.

These are false equivalencies. Why not make them available all the time? Have you ever asked why they don’t? Because them going away for an unknown time drives purchases. Now why does it drive purchases? Because people are afraid of missing it. You can get it eventually sure, your just punished for not getting it then and have to wait. It’s textbook FOMO marketing, saying it’s not is just silly.

Until it’s gone again. It does come back but you could miss out till then. Hence “fear of missing out”. I feel like you’re purposefully ignoring that it is FOMO.

Until it’s gone again

you miss your chance for many months (unless you pay of course).

Which is absolutely different from the actual predatory FOMO mechanics that are in place in many other MMOs.

Nah man, that’s exactly what FOMO is.

Oh Jesus… It’s not about how many you interact with it’s the scale. A companies tech team is a fraction of the size of the call center.

Call center software is an outlier. Just that massive multiple billion dollar software industry. I mean who even uses Salesforce right?

But you were assuming people weren’t hourly. So you were assuming you could have people work forced overtime, skilled workers, with nothing going wrong? Oh boy, bold management tactic.

My view is survivor bias sure.

And you’re view is based on anecdotes and assumptions. Things you’ve seen that you assume applies to the entire industry because you’ve worked in QA. Well I’ve worked at multiple companies, in roles from product to engineering, working myself up to the level of CTO. I talk to other CTOs and understand how their teams run and fail. I have to make decisions that keep our tech going and deal with consequences when they aren’t. So forgive me if I don’t put a ton of stock in your statement that “quality doesn’t matter” when I’ve had multiple conversations with executives and multiple experiences that prove that to be false.

Bottom line is, I’ve told you my point of view, you disagree, that’s fine. You don’t work for me, I don’t need to worry about it. If you truly think quality doesn’t matter and that’s working for you, have at it.

Jesus dude, your still on this, I wrote off this convo forever ago.

This will destroy Crowdstrike. They will not exist in a year. This is not “just a blip” lol. Many companies have collapsed over much more than this.

You make so many assumptions. How do you know they didn’t test it? How do you know a wrong build didn’t go out? You’re entire stance is based on assumptions fed by anecdotes from limited experience.

Most companies, mine included, try to roll out updates during the middle or start of a week. That way if there are issues the full team is available to address them.

I dunno man, this tech is evolving quickly. It’s a fad and buzzword now but at one point so was social media and the Internet. I only see this growing and getting bigger.

I use eM, it has tons of options and the mail rules are next level.

Yes, I understand how an occupied enemy force is hard to dislodge. I actually was in the USMC for 8 years and was stuck in 29 Palms with nothing to do it in the middle of the desert but operation Mojave Viper over and over as groups cycled through. War in the middle east was hard because of ROI and a lower tolerance for collateral damage. You remove those and it’s not even a question. Just drop bombs and roll tanks.

I’ve also seen how we can take over a country or city in a matter of nights. I’ve seen buildings leveled because there was a singular shooter in them. If you roll APCs down a street with an armed patrol squad there isn’t much you can do. Sure you could make IDEs, setup daisy chains and such, that could take out a patrol for sure. But that just gets a bigger, more aggressive response that will not be so easily pushed back.

And let’s be clear, the middle east has been at war for generations upon generations, it’s part of their life at this point. Bill who hunts deer sometimes is not a battle hardened fighter. Hell, people who sign up for war, get training, then ramped up for deployment still freeze up in combat.

Also, civil war tactics don’t work anymore, hell,guerilla tactics barley work. We have drones, night vision, thermal, air support, satellite imagery. If the US military did actually attack it’s people, and members of the service actual did comply, it would be an extermination not a war.

To your point about one person looking out for a FOB. First, I don’t know how one person is covering every possible line of attack and approach vector, but that side. One drone or fly by could destroy that entire rebel FOB in second with not a damn thing you could do, with no warning. What is your defense against fighter jets or a blackhawk? Shoot small arms at it?

Finally setup up my smart home. Lights coming on at dusk across my whole house with varying levels of brightness, from nightlight to lighting up the living room. Shutting down everything in my house and arming my security system all with one phrase. Temp automatically adjusting throughout the day/night for better energy savings. It really just made life a little easier in multiple ways. Especially once you realize there are smart IR blasters.

Why so much hate for people just looking to survive?

Civilians with guns against an actual military would never work, it’s just some fantasy those on the far right have.

And way less safe than not playing with explosives at all.

You gain brief enjoyment at the risk of fires and injuries. This makes no sense.
