All calls to HP customer support now have an artificial 15min wait in order to get people to give up (or their words: incentivise "self-solving")

HP adds 15 minutes waiting time for telephone support calls
Longer wait time designed to push print or PC consumers to digital support channels, sorry, 'self-solve'

I hate lazy dog whistle headlines like this.
Yes the water use is bad.
But *they* don’t use the water, a business they started did. A business with many investors and employees.
It’s as stupid as captioning a family photo of the Zuckerberg kids with “this family destroys teenage mental health”

Another day, another engineering client with Microservices gone awry.
Building a new customer proposition and they decided to build a constellation of single purpose nano services. 14 of them. FOURTEEN services.

OpenAI doesn't report a single number for its climate impacts - not anywhere, in any way, shape or form.
It sounds kind of obvious but the fact that a company with such incredible electricity hunger isn't disclosing basic information about its energy consumption and associated emissions is v bad..

I've come to understand what's happening in frontend's decade-long failure to deliver decent user experiences as a sort of epistemic closure. I'm calling it "frameworkism", and the epicenter is now React. Here's a lot of words on why we should all reject it:

Frameworkism is now the dominant creed of today's frontend discourse, and it's bullshit. We owe it to ourselves and to our users to reject dogma and embrace engineering as a discipline that strives to...

Just had a colleague mention he's about to go talk to the "COBOL team" his financial services client uses. 😬
He showed me a repo of their COBOL codebase and I feel like a fancy spoilt brat using #Nodejs #typescript
Different tools for different purposes, but dear god we've come a long way #dev
