#FML
A four-panel comic depicting the struggle of finding uninterrupted deep work time. 1st first panel - a stick figure character sits at their desk with a laptop, looking happy and determined. They think, 'Finally! Time to do some uninterrupted "deep work"!' 2nd panel - a notification sound PING appears on laptop. 3rd panel - four new notifications from different departments: Manager: 'VIDEO CALL? URGENT.' QA: 'PLS CALL ME ASAP' Design: 'QUICK CALL?' HR: 'FREE FOR 5 MINS?' 4th panel - the character, visibly frustrated, repeatedly bangs head on the laptop, making a BANG BANG sound.

A four-panel workplace comic strip. 1st panel - manager tells an employee: 'We are replacing everyone with AI.' 2nd panel - nervous employee asks: 'Will AI replace me too?' 3rd panel - manager responds: 'AI won't replace you because you add zero value to a project.' 4th panel - two coworkers observe the employee looking unusually happy, and one says: 'I don’t know why he's in such a good mood today.'

Study finds that global water shortages will worsen as temperatures rise. Under 3°C warming, water gaps could grow by nearly 15%, worsening scarcity.

A bit over the top, but still a reality check.
You are not a software engineer. You are a blue-collar tech worker. You use tools crafted by others. You leam just the right amount about those tools so you can complete your tasks. You don't know how CI/CD pipelines work, you just leam how to create stages. You don't know how your frontend actually works, you just learned to use the tool called "React". You also don't know what an API is, you learned how to create one with FastAPI. Containers? You don't know what the benefits of multi-stage containers are because you don't care. And you don't care because a single-stage Dockerfile gives you the same end result as a multi-stage... just slower. Kubernetes? All you know is to restart pods and re-apply YAML files. And this is enough... for a senior blue-collar tech worker. What about the 3500 lines of code you wrote for your new #buildinpublic app? It works, right? Well, it will work until your code becomes so bad you can't read it and you get lost.. or overwhelmed.. and ditch the project. - If you are tasked to work on a new container engine, you would not be able to. - If you are tasked to work on a database engine, you would not be able to. - If you are tasked to increase the speed of a complex query, you would not be able to. Because you don't understand how the tools you use work - you just leamed how to use them. And that makes you reliant. Stop being a blue-collar tech worker. You don't have much time.

Screenshot of a Reddit post in the r/AskReddit subreddit. The post asks: "What is the stupidest solution to a problem that actually worked?" The top response reads: "I think my favorite IT story (not mine) is the server that needed to be rebooted whenever it froze completely. The MacGyver solution? Get an old PC with a CD drive, and every time it loses connection to the server, it ejects the CD tray, which has a poking stick attached, which hits the reset button. The line between genius and insanity was definitely blurry there."

Screenshot of a tweet that reads: "JavaScript has the most fucked up Integer Division. Even such a Toy Language as Python works better." The tweet contains two terminal screenshots comparing the behavior of integer division in Python and JavaScript: Top screenshot (Python 3.12.7): The user enters the expression 5 // 2, and the output is 2, indicating that Python correctly performs integer division (floor division). A green checkmark is drawn next to the result to signify that Python’s behavior is correct and expected. Bottom screenshot (Node.js v20.16): The user enters the same expression, 5 // 2, in a Node.js REPL. The output is 5, as // is not a valid operator in JavaScript, so it interprets the expression as a comment (ignoring everything after //). A red question mark and an arrow are added to highlight this unexpected result.

P.S. To the rest of the world, one might say.

Downward view from above, looking into a dark and narrow courtyard surrounded by tall buildings. The walls are lined with windows, some dimly illuminated. The perspective emphasizes the depth and enclosed nature of the space, with shadows and muted lighting creating an eerie, claustrophobic atmosphere.

Prometheus and Saruman overlap with "Cunning technological firewielder deity". Saruman and the Dude overlap with "Obsession with large heavy ball". All three overlap in the middle with "I hate the fuckin eagles, man".
