Lol. Oh you were serious?

The problem is people are crabs in a bucket. Same shit when minimum wages go up, or on a lower community level, when people’s friends do well they get shitty too. People are the worst.

Everyone in here crying about artist getting money and trying to make me think it’s a bad thing is summarily dismissed from my mind.

*hedonic treadmill.

Yeah, lots of sour grapes in here. It’s kinda pathetic.

Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the world governments.

I don’t understand the full context, but this is very sweet.

I speak for most of the world here when I say, yes.

I was on desktop not app, where Spotify will let you search its catalogue without login.

Where do I like… buy… music?

Looking at tidal, there doesn’t appear to be a way to search for music? Am I losing it?

Edit: you have to login first. Honestly, bad first impression already.

They said, racistly with no evidence.

HTRIP

Brilliant. It’s so valuable to have a manager that actually treats you like a professional in these situations. Sounds like a diamond in the rough alright.

Some agency when working goes a long way to fostering a really good working relationship. I’m still a lot earlier in my career, so generally in my first non-internship role I was expecting to be given little bits of work like change this button, widen this form, that kind of stuff.

Turns out I’d joined one of those “sink or swim” smaller companies where you have to wear a lot of hats. Initially I thought quite negatively about it but once I started to gain some confidence I realised he was giving me the time and space to properly learn stuff and develop it until it was “good”. He, thankfully, still shoots down my sillier ideas but if I have a good one he throws his full support behind me.

Currently he was like, I need you to investigate how to set up automated fraud prevention checks and flag, let’s say things, for clients to investigate further, and he sent me off for a week to analyse the problem, speak to everyone involved and gather a list of data points and how to calculate them. Then he gave me the time to design the system, including the mental room to develop our first shared lib after .net framework.

Really I’m rambling a bit, but my point is, you can get a lot of good work out of people if you invest in them and allow them some agency. Maybe some can’t work well without constant pressure, but I think a lot of people thrive when supported and enabled correctly by management.

Techno-solutionist lol. The power of labels eh?

Listen to yourself. Disingenuous, preachy, angry. I have no respect for people like you.

Why would I account for capitalism when my whole point is i don’t care what people’s opinions are?

Im talking about Tankie ideology so communism yes. But again, my point is I don’t care so to try to pit communism vs capitalism to gotcha me doesn’t even make sense.

Communism has a massive body count yes.

This form of verbal maneuvering that you display is falling from grace.

I think that’s an intentional mischaracterisation. It’s more like sending money to a band that can’t be fucked moderating their discord.

Many would argue tankies live by an ideology with a comparable body count to fascism.

Funny how agile seems to mean different things to different people.
