@bitprophet you could be an expert in Mesos who memorized the Visual Basic APIs or top notch Flash expert who never heard of Big-O. 🤪

(Most of what you enumerate doesn’t sound like expertise in anything practical but interviewing tbh 😔 It’s so stupid.)

@bitprophet Generalist still >> expert in something nobody cares about

So I’m watching the lies, the denial, the wishful thinking, the culture war, and the economic illiteracy with fascination since I’m along for the ride either way – and I’ve got a family history of high blood pressure to watch out for.

Once this circus collapses it will leave a black hole in the world economy, unveiling the camouflaged US recession en passant.

But what can I do except avoiding further exposure to its effects by stopping investments into overvalued AI-heavy indexes (aka US of A; this is no financial advice).

@offby1 Yeah that one is meh. The biggest issue other than the React nonsense is how GHA is now completely rotting away maintained mostly by slop machines. :|

I don‘t mind redesigns and even leaving the Copilot nonsense aside, GitHub‘s web UI has become barely usable over the years.
