It’s not just about treating current employees well. It’s also about offering enough at the hiring stage to attract more good workers. Higher starting pay and a better reputation as a place to work means more people applying, means that Methface Matt can’t compete with TypeA Teresa to get hired in the first place.

My MO is much cheaper. I just throw produce waste into a corner of my back yard and see what starts growing. Right now I’ve got about 10 pumpkin plants taking off like crazy. A jalapeño plant too!

More and more I feel it’s best to think of software as existing in a quantum state of all possible feature/bug combinations. Between updates that can occur on any facet of the software’s intricacies, algorithm quirks, human interventions, and clandestine beta testing on unsuspecting groups of users, who the fuck knows.

Hey that’s cool. I’m late to the party but just in time to wish you a happy lunch. What’re you having?

Dammit!

Yeah! ^That’s ^^the ^^^ticket!

Edit: okay so only one level. That’s fine.

Well on Reddit I would have superscripted the text but I can’t or don’t know how to do that here. So I improvised.

Simpossible! … (((I’ll see myself out, sorry)))

A good suggestion. I’m already trying to post less, comment less, and just focus on making better, more frequently positive contributions.

Back when I started with Reddit I remember sorting by new and thinking, jeez why would anyone sift through all this crap… Cut to me exclusively sorting by new all the time because I looked at ev.ry.thing. So yeah, this is nice. Though in the future it may be just as full. Cross that bridge when we come to it I guess.

Don’t forget undermining democracy. Nothing like hearing the freshest Russian propaganda from my mother on a crisp Autumn morning.

The “silent majority” is neither.

Unlike capitalism, which is a bunch of random people climbing on eachothers back and when one gets to the top he is not expected to pull the others up.
