Chaotic evil web dev. LARPS as a game dev. Insanity incarnate. Megalomaniacal catgirl maid.

Never forget the Catgirl maid incident of 2023.
To be fair, you DID ask for it

Don’t worry. The joint pain already makes sure I never forget I’m a fossil.

I was trying to take a quick swipe at HR gatekeeping things they don’t need to (like degrees for devs) and failed miserably.
May 29, 2025 at 11:10 PM
Oh, I know that’s not who you are referring to.

I haven’t met a dev outside of social media that still cares about whether someone has a degree in years. Only HR types seem to care about that, at least in my area.
May 29, 2025 at 11:08 PM
I believe the term you are looking for is “HR department”. Only people I meet IRL that still care about that.

I don’t care if you went to school. I only care about whether I will constantly have to work overtime to pick up the slack (not including mentoring/ramping up juniors).

I just don’t think at all: before, during, or after; posts or otherwise.

I’m old. I watch subs because the dubs I grew up with were just SOOO bad. It’s just habit for me at this point even though dubs in general have come a long way.

Tell the future it won’t have to wait long. The scrap metal trim falls off all by itself already.

I can’t believe I’m at the point where I consider competent people screwing things up instead an improvement, but here we are.

There are some with brain cells. Aides mostly. And they were supposedly ignored completely with respect to tariff calculations.

Don’t get me wrong. Implementing their ideas would have been bad too. Just not THIS bad.

Anyone who tells you a speculative financial instrument is not significantly affected by financial trends is lying to you and trying to make sure you’re holding the bag instead of them when it crashes.

As Representative of Fat Hairy Men - District 37, I’m going to have to insist you find a new description. We don’t want him either.

I can’t speak for my gay constituents specifically, but I’m PRETTY sure they mostly feel the same way.

My office will be sending a cease and desist notice shortly.

It also appears Drupal offers some level of SSG, but can’t comment too much on that or its SSR implementation being a Svelte and Angular guy that doesn’t use it these days.

The VA also has a decent bit of timed content such as events, page updates based on agency rule/law changes, a blog, etc.

Are there other ways to import data than a CMS? Yes, but you already have a stable CMS, and you can still use server-side rendering to make a static version of the content.
April 5, 2025 at 10:51 PM
They think they want that now until 80% of their tickets start being verbiage changes.
April 5, 2025 at 10:43 PM
Yeah, if you want to move off Drupal specifically, cool. Seems like those dev hours could be put to better use elsewhere, but okay.

But not having any CMS functionality at all … on the VA site? That’s just insane and a complete waste of dev or DBA time when people want edits.

I will concede that some people take this too far, but there are definite lines that each side shouldn’t be making decisions on. That does not mean they should not be asking questions and offering suggestions in areas they are knowledgeable in.

But there need to be clear lines for final decisions.
April 5, 2025 at 10:27 PM
Now if these personnel have a technical background, I’ll definitely be willing to listen to their ideas and opinions. It isn’t about being territorial. It’s about preventing people from making decisions they aren’t qualified to make to the detriment of the project.

I have literally seen a PM try to dictate database schemas and service internals. We are defensive of the how because that’s the kind of nonsense that happens when we aren’t.
