  • I really enjoy programming, and i don’t mind all of the planning, mentorship, and working with stakeholders to formulate solutions. But for the past few weeks 90% of the work I’ve been doing had been around deployment, migrating services to new servers, and fucking with azure resources. I haven’t written a line of code for 3+ weeks. That has been draining.

    Couple that with picking up work items that are poorly written with way to little information on what needs doing and it’s also frustrating as hell.

    At my company, we have dozens, probably over one hundred different repos that we maintain, and no less than 30 actively worked on projects. It’s bitter sweet in that I get a good mix of work to break up the monotony of working on the same project, but at the cost of not being able to master any of them. I’ve only been in my role for 6-8 months coming from a non programming background, and it’s been tough to learn and keep up with the pace required. Being full stack is nice but shitty at the same time.






  • You made a claim and then have nothing to back it up.

    Did I ask for one?

    Then what views to you have that you would call centrist?

    Yes, literally in the post you responded to where you gave empty platitudes. I didn’t go straight to assumptions. I asked a question and you skirted around it like in every other response in here.

    Suspicion culture is something you just made up. You make a claim, I asked for details around it, and you deflected. Yea, people are going to be suspicious when someone comes off as trolling and won’t support their claims with specifics.














  • Jewish isn’t a race, so antisemitism isn’t racism. I think the word you’re looking for is ‘bigotry’.

    Also, not all Jewish people are zionists just like not all black people are criminals or hispanics illegal immigrants. Those are the types generalizations used by bigots to target demographics they don’t like. You’re statement basicay says all Jewish people are complicit in genocide, therefore the Jewish community doesn’t deserve protection against recent events leaving them vulnerable. There’s room for the government to assist both Jewish people and black people at the same time.

    Current events have definitely put Jewish people more in the metaphorical cross hairs, so it’s relevant for an article to publicize that problem now. Systemic racism isn’t something a mayor can just solve over night. He has made other moves that help all people like more affordable housing as an example.

    Other than major police reform, which isn’t an easy task in itself, what other actions would you like to see him take to tackle anti-black racism? Genuinely, I’m curious what he as mayor could do. I’ve liked what I’ve read about what he’s accomplished thus far and hope to continue seeing positive news about him, but what specifically can he do to fight racism?
