    The majority of technologies that power the internet were developed in the 80s and refined in the 90s. Everything since then is built as a layer of abstraction on top of those core technologies.

    Many game companies specifically target vulnerable people, who end up spending their entire pay check every month, and are called Whales.

    The interview is a vibe check first and foremost. If you vibe with the team we will overlook other things in your application. If you made it to interview, we already think you’re good enough so don’t stress trying to impress or apologize.

    Managers are mostly people who get tired of watching other people do things badly and decide to try to do better. You don’t need a special degree or any magic to be a good manager, you should like people though.

    Everyone is faking it to some degree.

    the oh so well kept secret of the software and services (surrounding it) industry that people seem to think is worth paying money for.

    Yet time after time these paid software companies produce the most vile awful, dysfunctional, and garbage software (and services) that have ever been created. While somehow a group of people who aren’t being paid, and aren’t doing this for any sort of reason other than “why not” manage to create the most functional software ever, while also managing to somehow catch the single biggest potential software vulnerability in this decade (other than wannacry) purely because ssh has slightly sus behaviors when running the infected payload.

    Please stop doing web dev, it isn’t real.

            There’s been a few conspiracies that have come to light to be factual.

            List of conspiracies that ended up being true:

            Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment MKUltra: the CIA Mind-Control Project The 1990 Testimony of Nayirah Operation Snow White: The Church of Scientology Versus The U.S. Government CIA Assassinations The Business Plot: Fascism in America Operation Mockingbird: The CIA Propaganda Machine COINTELPRO: The FBI vs. 1960s Activists Operation Paperclip: Nazi Scientists Find Employment in America Operation Northwoods: How to Wage War on Cuba Bohemian Grove: The Rich, the Powerful, and the Giant Stone Owl

            By the way, the terms “conspiracy theory” and “conspiracy theorist” were popularized by the CIA to delegitimize concerns regarding the actions of government.

              You do understand that none of the actual conspiracies have anything to do with the ones conspiracy theorists talk about? All of them were assholes behaving like assholes, and it always came.tomlight because they were dumb as fuck about it. Mk ultra was an embarrassment more than anything.

              All these “jetfuel doesn’t melt metal beams” types just really need to get outside more.
