Now just make it so you can’t borrow against your stock and see how useless his money is 98% of his money is tied up in 2 companies, both very overvalued

What the fuck

I actually hated the “journalism” done by CNN here. This one is a little better: https://www.forbes.com/sites/ronshevlin/2026/02/27/block-lays-off-40-of-staff-and-blames-it-on-ai-dont-buy-the-excuse/

Since this time period I’ve noticed a severe drop in quality from software companies, to the point I have stopped using most products - which in a result drops the companies profits more 😂

Definitely excuse. So many of these companies dramatically over hired during COVID, then after COVID saw a normalization of profits, and a loss because they over hired.

Take block for an example, double or tripled their employees since COVID, but around 2022-2023 their profits fell off hard - they said “AI” is why they’re doing cuts. No, they’re doing cuts because they’re going under

Why did I just open lemmy to this dude posting like 30 post about vaginas and penis

Yup, an extremely abused program by them to underpay, and hold them hostage to the company. They could easily hire Americans, especially in the bay, but they chose not to.

Damn, who knew the flip phones from 2005 would make a come back

One of the worst companies to work for, truly.

Yuup, crazy we elected Epstein’s best friend forever and now we’re being monitored not the child rapists

But get ban if you speak up against Elon or Republicans.

Censorship for thee not for mee

Yessir the right way to learn to type was to out spam the spammers in world chat on WoW and trade 1 world on RS in 2005.

I strongly disagree. I firmly believe that the “proper form” you and I were taught is why carpal tunnel is so common(I don’t think it one size fits all) People should do what’s comfortable for them. In fact, I’m pushing mid-30 and when I use proper form I get uncomfortable pain, and if I get a chair that doesn’t line up the armrest with my desk perfectly I also get uncomfortable pain. It’s possible that growing up with computers like I did I found what just worked for me, but I’ve never found the proper form comfortable. I’ve had computer classes up into my adult life.

With a good chair (my Herman) and wrist rest (a wood block) I’ve had 0 pain and work at my computer 8+ hours a day. I never leave my desk with any strain.

Hell almost every engineer I know doesn’t type properly. For me, the real problem is I always tuck a foot under me and sit on it. 😂

I had to break the nerd cycle that don’t touch grass, I gym 2 hours a day every day after work. And, don’t you know? The loudest keyboard in the office is the most dominate!! 😂

I mostly type with my index and middle fingers only and type 144+ wpm lol… My wife’s always like “wth”

We’re living with the consequences of his generation and the generation before him currently. Unaffordable housing, low wages, high taxes, falling apart economies and a constant threat that we’ll be replaced as soon as possible to please the CEO lords in the name of short term profits!

Most corporations are near-term driven, not long term. It’s why many don’t innovate anything anymore. Quarterly profits matter more than anything

Has meta ever invented anything? I always thought it was ironic he called out apple for iPhone and then doing nothing, but all they’ve successfully created was Facebook, they bought everything else and illegally sold our data to get rich

Almost all the road work around me is state, not federal.

Are you new to engineering? Coding was never the bottleneck. Having someone who knows what to do, and planning usually is.

I spend 20-30% of my time at most actively coding. 30-40% helping people with dumb things that take my time when they shouldn’t, and the remainder in meetings, scoping my work, or debugging.
