See normally when an algorithm requires The Entire Global Supply Of Ram, a software engineer would consider that not a good algorithm, and would try and make a better one instead of optimising the entire planet for paperclip manufacturing.

Unfortunately we accidentally gave a bad software engineer too much money

Small lifehack if games like Dead Space are too scary for you: they become a lot more fun if you twist them from "I'm being hunted by monsters" to "I'm hunting monsters and those fucks can't hide because I can hear them breathe"

Wusstet ihr, dass viele Arbeitgebende nur "Gehalt nach Vorschrift" zahlen, also nur das Nötigste überweisen, wie vertraglich vereinbart? Sie sind emotional nur gering an ihre Arbeitnehmenden gebunden und erfüllen nur das Minimum ihrer Fürsorgepflicht, ohne sie darüber hinaus wertzuschätzen.

people condescendingly recommending proton as the better privacy option for gmail are like people condescendingly recommending matrix as the better community organization/communication tool than discord.

@fesshole No Red Port Left in the bottle. That's my go-to mnemonic.

Random memory from my first real job once I got out of school at a maker for hardware-in-the-loop simulators for the automotive industry:

A colleague there told me that some years before I was hired, someone brought the "Design Patterns" book to work. Some managers then read it, severely misunderstood it, and decided on "the" design pattern to use from now on. They decided on the visitor pattern since it seemed "most general".

The story may have been a joke. But a lot of their code matched it.

@petealexharris @linear @foone Or had one of those insane managers who misread something somewhere once where some problem was caused by someone misuing an array, so they banned all array use in the whole company.
@foone Easy for you to say. I've been making do with red-black trees all this time.
what are we even doing here man
