Sometimes I think we should replace gender with genre. There's lots of genres for books and music. Fantasy, dark fantasy, steampunk. Why not for humans too

I can't imagine why I'd want to put on an informational video and not pay attention.
I listen to music at work.
I think a lot of people are only semi-literate, and many of them don't realize it. They just think reading is kind of hard and uncomfortable, and don't know why anyone would choose to do it.
You won't find as many of them on a text-focused medium like here.
I thought about it but people are so sensitive here. If they broke something and couldn't merge they'd probably raise a big stink, and then there's good odds the checks would be removed "because they're adding friction" or some nonsense. My boss has already warned me about staying in my lane.
These people have never done any automated testing of any sort. No linter. No unit tests. And they don't seem to want to.
Sounds about right.
I'm using GitHub actions at work because this place is extremely dysfunctional, and I can just add GitHub actions without it being a whole "research spike planning meeting impact analysis" six week journey.
I took it from "there are absolutely no checks and Bob broke the environment because he pushed up a change that's just invalid syntax" to... well, I couldn't make it block the build on failures but at least now when Bob breaks it again I can point to the big red X and ask why he merged with an error.
“She [his wife] still looks at me like I’m stupid, but I thought it was worth it,” Murrell was quoted as saying by Fortune. “They worked so hard. They were so overwhelmed.”
Is she looking at him because she's a greedy monster that wanted the money for himself, or because it's not enough to compensate them for their labor?
No television show will make you feel as you did when you were a child, watching star trek for the first time.
Talk to them about it like adults? But I gather these are children, so I don't know.
You can't just listen to what they say. You have to listen to what they mean. For many people, and I think especially conservatives, the emotional level is the real one. Words exist to promote this hazy dreamscape of feelings.
So they say free speech but they mean "follow my standards of speech"
Netflix? Nah. Fuck 'em. Free media heck yeah.
Work in a big multi national company. not a software company, but I'm on an engineering team.
Leadership makes a lot of noises about AI.
The engineers can't even use git competently. I've suggested quietly maybe we should focus on learning software fundamentals instead of chasing dreams but no one here listens to me.
Maybe they could focus on delivering quality products that customers want, instead of investing all their time and effort into expensive AI widgets people don't.
