I do wish Windows Phone had taken off better.
I had a job once that issued me a Nokia Windows phone and I was stunned by how much I actually sort of enjoyed the experience. Granted all I did was check emails, ACK alerts and message coworkers on it, so admittedly a very intentionally on my part pared down user experience. Sadly Windows phone didn't last long enough to figure out if that was the result of Microsoft, or the result of Nokia.
Writing mods and server plugins for counter strike 1.6 is what got me into it.
Fox Television Studios not cancelling a show right as it starts to get good challenge.
I jokingly suggested a similar crusade against sprints, because the nature of my team's work isn't prohibitively time-boxed either.
Wasn't expecting the people sitting on that zoom call with the power and influence to make such a change to actually agree
Thanks for that!
Dunno, but I would like to know more about your lamp
Chaotic neutral on my work desk, lawful good on the gaming desk. Priorities.
That's not a hot take. That's a damned gospel and I am singing baritone.
Rejected an offer because the work spaces for developers were even worse than open plan.
I am incredibly curious to learn more
"I'm in this post and I don't like it"
None of your objections so far have come close to resembling good faith rebuttals. Or even good ones.
We have eyes, we've read the tweet, we (I would hope) know what invoking rm -rf / does. Presumably the context alone there and reading the room here should be enough to clue one in why one would find it specifically cringeworthy (even if I would probably use a tamer way to describe it-personally), and why perhaps one would in the exact same vein just find things funny for different reasons, or just find different things funny altogether. How is it hypocritical to acknowledge the humor in a joke while pointing out that the same joke carries an uncomfortable truth to it? Sometimes those are the best jokes (best of course being subjective)
Of course, I got the joke straight away and merely chuckled. Not necessarily my brand of humor, but hey, you buy the premise, you've bought the bit.
