Which means it'll probably be training on literally everything you do on the computer and reporting it all back to Microsoft

Correct, the constitution does not literally call out the right to a stable climate, however it's kinda hard to make good on any other constitutional right if populations being culled by extreme heat becomes the new worldwide norm.

That sounds roughly accurate from my standpoint. I would love to stay where I'm at, but I'm being forced out by the upcoming RTO mandate. And on top of that, our brilliant executive team is currently chasing the AI trend, putting a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths here. I think we also still have a hiring freeze mostly in effect except for a very few select positions with the educated guess that another RIF may be coming in the next few months. The whole thing makes me really angry the more I think about it.

Wait, are you telling me that business ethics are actually a real thing? I thought somebody made that up as a meme. Every corporate executive I've ever worked for has been a borderline, if not full blown, sociopath obsessed with nothing more than getting richer at everyone else's expense. Maybe they all skipped that class?

If you really need some nightmare fuel, some of us use c++ every day and even enjoy it.

Listen, I'm sure Mexico will be sending us a check for that border wall any day now.

As a tech worker, I'm super happy they're being compensated so well. We're witnessing the power of workers organizing and I'm loving it. I would like to see unions in tech become a thing, but it's impossible to organize anything with the people here and talking about it openly will get you fired for "completely unrelated" reasons.

I hate this so much, but I can't look away.

In my experience, those things tend to be forced by project managers who believe the highest law of the land is proper scrum. Unsurprisingly, this makes all the devs miserable with no way to change anything because "this is just how it's done".

I can imagine c-suites all over the industry scrambling to figure out what "no microtransactions" means

It's really well done! Pixel art will always have a special place in my heart.

I honestly despise influencers, but I'm ok with them doing something legitimately good for a change.
