15:38 <+tougenkyou> skeumorphism is the word
15:40 <@freid> It was beautiful! It was intuitive and fun and comfy. It used real-world analogies to make UI understandable. Now we're expected to know that if text is blue, you can click it? Make it 3d! make it pop!
15:41 <~CozyBroz> There’s a similar event in music too. There are many very talented people that can play an instrument in exactly the same manner and way as whoever they’re imitating, or maybe they can play very fast or in a unique style, but lack creativity and therefor originality. Lots of videos of kids playing at genius levels on the piano, but couldn’t create a lick for themselves to save their life. It's a
15:41 <~CozyBroz> copy cat culture, kind of like China.
15:42 <~CozyBroz> You can copy the recipe of success, but you didn’t make it.
15:42 <~CozyBroz> As in you didn’t make the recipe.
15:43 <~CozyBroz> Can anyone make their own recipe anymore?
15:44 <+tougenkyou> specialization is dead. why hire a dedicated designer when some front end dude can just take an SVG and slap a gradient on it.
15:44 <+tougenkyou> big tech makes people jump through insane hoops during the interview because they want just that - someone who can use all their ingenuity to fulfill some "greater goal", and not actually be innovative.
15:44 <+tougenkyou> google can't make a freaking chat app to save its life. or more likely, they have no qualms about canning things and redirecting manpower back to the hivemind.
15:45 <+tougenkyou> and god knows what the hivemind even does. vague internal tools that "streamline" stuff. SREs. patching shit on youtube. making 4K a paid option.
15:46 <+tougenkyou> it's funny you bring piano up. the ABRSM (bougie piano exam) doesn't feature improvisation. it's all memorize chopin this debussy that.
15:47 <+tougenkyou> they introduced an improvisation component for the jazz exam but no one takes that seriously. because "muh musical pedigree" and all
15:49 <~CozyBroz> Now I will admit, I’m kinda a talentless hack when making my music lol. I mean, it’s after a specific genre and all and kinda repetitive. It’s a side hobby.
15:49 <@freid> wow. There's a piano certification exam? Of course there is. The jazz one is the only one I would take seriously!
15:56 <~CozyBroz> Restoring a user profile on a remote desktop server.
15:56 <~CozyBroz> Idk how these things go corrupt, but on occasion they break and the user is forced to sign into a temporary account.
15:57 <~CozyBroz> Sometimes it’s a simple fix in the registry by changing their user key back to its original name and reset the state, but sometimes it isn’t...
16:00 <@freid> man coming back Monday with all the servers in prod with full /app partitions... awesome. Devs always put debug logging into prod!
16:02 <+tougenkyou> a similar thing happened in figure skating. before like the 1970s or so, artistry was a huge part of the judging criteria.
16:02 <+tougenkyou> The term "Figure" comes from the fact that people used to try to draw beautiful geometric flourishes on the ice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_figures
16:02 <+tougenkyou> Then an arms race on technical difficulty started to supposedly make different skaters more comparable.
16:02 <+tougenkyou> > Details of the seven elements required of singles skaters in their short program are given in ISU rule 611: the skater must attempt two solo jumps, one combination jump, three spins (including one combination spin and one flying spin), and one step sequence.
16:02 <+tougenkyou> because one is time-limited, the only way skaters could now differentiate themselves was subject themselves to more risk of injury by trying triple or even quadruple jumps. And the final score is just churned through a formula. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6pw07k3GkM
16:03 <+tougenkyou> jumps now became codified into "you must jump this particular way at this particular angle, lifting off from your left foot."
16:03 <+tougenkyou> i think the ISU banned backflips outright in competition. no points for you even if you land one.
16:04 <+tougenkyou> if your jump is not a salchow, toe loop, lutz, or axel, too bad, you should hit the rink more. because "muh traditional refined jumps"
16:04 <+tougenkyou> no thought given to the first ever people who invented those jumps to great acclaim.
16:05 <+tougenkyou> also, on the topic of china, they are pretty aware that their society is just grindfest. they even got a term for it https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-57328508

neat secondary device; however, i often fall into the trap where all of my devices have to run all of my development environments equally well instead of having each device be responsible for its own things

In 1890, as mainstream and dissenting Mormons who still favoured multiple spouses settled on the Prairies, Canada passed its first laws against polygamy. They were, if you like, Mormon-specific. In fact, until the 1950s, the Criminal Code prohibition on marrying more than one spouse mentioned Mormons in the text.

Growing up with internet (for 25years now) I have always felt like I am not a part of my own country, but a part of a bigger community. Community full of (more or less) smart people, ready to explore and learn more, to build our new world on and home..on the internet.

Quiet quitting - first thoughts #
where disengaged workers refuse to work beyond the hours and tasks they’re paid to do.
https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20220921-how-going-above-and-beyond-at-work-became-required
isn't this just your average workday? if you try to run up against the limits of what anyone can humanly focus for in a day, you will succumb to inefficiencies. 996 workers who bunk in the office aren't actually more productive per-capita (besides the obvious logistical reasons like not having to commute, or shower); the apparent increase in productivity is mostly attributed to good coordination
if every white collar occupation was regulated systematically with mandatory breaks being taken (e.g. train drivers) and extreme micromanagement being done (e.g. EOT telemetry from the train to the control center), there would absolutely be no way to quiet quit, or, conversely, and more fairly, for "unspoken demands" to be placed
there will be sticklers, especially in the individualistic software industry, who will revolt against this (as many attempts to come up with a p.eng exam for software in places like texas have shown)
hypothetically, i think it would be a good idea; at least, it would reduce variance at the entry level.
imagine if your workday was pre-pomodoro'ed down to half-hour granularity (with buffer time factored in), and your schedule all worked out for you, with "extra credit" tasks for if you're way ahead of schedule.
suppose you know exactly what testing framework to use and you have a perfect knowledgebase to work off of. Like say, your task is to add integrate Facebook OAuth2 into ${normie app}, and someone else has already written one for Google in about 8 hours total.
now your work is perfectly quantifiable. 1 mini-sprint to perhaps genericize the interface that handles the oauth2 callbacks and the like. another mini-sprint to implement that interface for google, and get the redirect URLs and domains all hooked up. another mini sprint to write unit tests. another mini sprint to write integration tests.
you said you do micromanage, right? well then you should have collected enough statistics to know exactly how long each of these should take and the prerequisite knowledge each employee must have, in order to fulfill the given tasks. it's basic six sigma, nigga.
hence I argue the problem is not so much micromanagement or lack thereof, but lack of 2-way transparency, whether unintentional or not. when you have employees venturing into "i don't know what i don't know" territory or simply being unable to provide estimates because they don't understand all the implications of the problem (or the effort needed to come up with an estimate already exceeds the timeline), no amount of slave driving will deliver your software.

from personal experience, i find it patently absurd that cloud dev environments are the hot thing. https://www.runsidekick.com/blog/developing-in-the-cloud-vs-developing-in-local
They do not want to waste time on installation and setting up of the environments anymore.
either your application is poorly designed or way too tightly coupled together if it takes more than half a work day to set up from scratch, or it is in sore need of maintenance. That's right, you should not be relying on monkey patching 10-year old maven dependencies that have already moved. And if you're shilling microservices, why haven't you developed mocks for people.
https://medium.com/@igniteram/devaas-development-environments-as-a-service-ee0c5bf2ff62
if you can't even figure out how to set your environment up, how are you possibly going to figure out how the pieces fit together on a level deep enough to eventually drive the conversation?
