Huh. I suppose this could be fun.

There’s some bitch calling himself Mike Johnson at the door, claims he want a to talk about Jesus?

that is definitely not it. No one ever actually got penalized for being a white dude, except in some right-wing fever dream. 3/3

solution to all their dev needs probably hasn't helped in the past couple of years either. The worst was the occasional moron I'd run across who would insist it's because white men were being discriminated against. Like, dude, 2/3

I suspect I may also be a bit cursed with timing. I was laid off in 2023, with thousands of other devs at the same time, and it took me forever to find new work. So I was probably competing with a *lot* of younger/cheaper folks. The fact that a lot of senior leadership thinks AI is the magic 1/3

Replace "down" with "done"... 🤦🏻

As a white guy over 50, I feel like the industry is mostly down with me, but I realize I still had it easier than most. I was mostly pulled through the door when I was younger, instead of having to force my way in.

To be honest, I haven’t seen tech have a love of women under 50 either, which annoys me to no end.

Just stop cowering in the corner expecting republicans to suddenly grow a conscience. We already know that isn't going to happen. /end

I think they're also underestimating how much a lot of middle-aged folks like me also despise them. They are definitely not the right people for the moment we're in. Show some fucking backbone, throw sand in the gears, anything. /continued

I am struggling to understand what a "meta pant" is. Are they somehow not real? Do we only get the satisfaction of knowing we spent $128 on the concept of a pant?

As someone with about 30 years of tech experience, I can safely say there is no such thing as a "10x programmer", and anyone claiming to be one is usually an asshole. And assholes drag the whole team down, no matter what their skills are.

Hooray! I look forward to seeing more.

It definitely put a significant dent in my belief that most people are fundamentally decent and willing to work together for the common good. I still *want* to believe that, but… (looks around helplessly at the mess the US has become)

Post a pic you took with no description to bring some zen to the timeline

Manufacturers… Can’t spell anymore

I know the abbreviation is for manufactures, but I keep reading it as motherf***ers, which honestly still fits.
