Oh wow just switch employers, is that all

Beyond that, you missed my point. Even if I were being paid more, I still wouldn’t have any incentive to make myself dispensable. Unless I’m vested in the company profits, then the profits don’t matter to me.

Lmao fuck integrity I’m trying to make rent

It’s not like the company has any integrity in their dealings, like when they lay off entire departments with no notice. One of my current coworkers worked for Dell for 17 years before being laid off. According to you, if she were confident in her abilities, she shouldn’t have worried.

Companies don’t care about integrity. They don’t care about people. All companies would replace you with someone cheaper if they could. Why should we care about them?

Then they should pay me based on that—giving me partial ownership, for example, would incentivize me to do better for the company. As it stands, I get paid the same no matter how the company is doing. I only have an incentive not to get fired… which is easier if I’m indispensable.

Capitalism offers a perverse incentive in this regard. I have no motive to keep the company healthy, only to get paid. Ensuring I can be replaced benefits the company while harming me.

Software engineering as a discipline is pretty much a series of trick questions.

Every tenth line, this would evaluate to False, while on lines that aren’t multiples of ten, it would evaluate to True.

As a software engineer I’m inclined to agree

Simplicity is great. Infantilization just makes me check out.

A single admin on a larger instance could get a stick up his ass and defederate a smaller instance, which would then propagate to everyone else copying that ban list. Power tripping admins didn’t die with Reddit.

You’re projecting like crazy. You have no idea what the OP thinks of himself. Anyone older than 30 absolutely used IRC without being an expert.

Pseudo-intellectualism?? This is a funny scenario someone shared with their friends. Where do you think you are? Do you think this is an intellectual forum?
