Intern-with-the-Innsmouth-look Wes Streeting is poised to go head to head with Messianic Lord Of T'Pies Andy Burnham in a leadership contest.
Burnham seems the better choice of the two, but he is Northern.
Tough decision.
I call this poem "Fucking Rebase"
There's surely no quarrel
That life would be fun
If only Git and Torvalds
Were fired into the sun.
The country is a prized, fragile, antique teapot collection.
Starmer is Linda Barker: the supposedly qualified, but consistently underwhelming, selected overseer.
Streeting would be the Handy-Andy-assembled, ceiling-suspended shelving unit.
People have been sharing that "Programming Still Sucks" article, and while I appreciate that it's well written and funny and makes some good points, overall I don't care for it.
Because it perpetuates the myth that *software development only happens* within corporate capitalist settings. And it's simply not true, nor should it be true.
Programmers can come from all walks of life, and express themselves *joyfully* through the art of software in many local/small biz or non-capitalist settings.
I've been thinking about doing a presentation on my daft creative writing efforts (and the software I wrote to support me with it) for work's show and tell, but everything displayed recently has been so incredibly AI heavy that I feel I'm going to have to work that angle somehow.
Maybe something like: "Creative writing is like writing prompts, but lots of them, chained together. And then instead of handing them to an agent, you hand them to a human who will tell you whether they suck or not."
