I've also inventoried 7 moving boxes that have not been unpacked since we moved about a year and a half ago
My office floor is currently cluttered with a bag of sleeping, a bag of cables, a paper bag of paper bags, a bag of frames, a canvas bag of plastic bags, an Ikea bag of miscellaneous tools & materials, and a bag of random hats & gloves
Current status: taking inventory of stuff

@sasha "simple" is only available as source code and requires tons of extremely obscure libraries no distro packages
"kowabunga" is made by some big tech company to try and appear relatable and cool
"birmingham" is made by someone who didn't know what to name their software so they just picked the name of the place they live in
"piss" is some program started as a joke by a bunch of teenagers 20 years ago, but now it's used by every massive corporation in the world
"greg's shell script" is the only reason why modern linux even works

@Daojoan Exactly like Zoom who want their workers in the office because remote working doesn't work. While they create software to facilitate remote working...

Roblox wants your kids to spend as much time as possible in their virtual world but they're anti-remote working because “physical spaces are better”

obviously that was a shitpost. the real reason is that low-level programmers try to make code run fast. you know who also runs fast? that's right, kanbaru suruga. (refuses to elaborate)

“Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants | CIO”
> Many developers say AI coding assistants make them more productive, but a recent study set forth to measure their output and found no significant gains. Use of GitHub Copilot also introduced 41% more bugs, according to the study from Uplevel, a company providing insights from coding and collaboration data.
Like I've been saying for a while, feeling productive is not the same as being productive
