Software quality and testing, gluten-free experiments, Sixers soap opera, low-budget home espresso. Wondering why the kids aren't angrier.

Kind of makes our politicians traitors to the country, doesn't it?! In fact, that kind of daylight robbery enabling should result in a life behind bars, shouldn't it?

Zorro Ranch: Follow the Money, Part 4 โ€” The Logical and Terrifying Conclusion She was in Russia. He was dead. And somewhere in Texas, a family with connections to Russia and Trump was about to buy a New Mexico ranch.

Oh it's definitely working as intended.As a cover for rampant corruption and allowing criminal behavior to go unpunished while paying dodgy criminals to not investigate themselves

@davidpocock.bsky.social Hi, do you know if changes to negative gearing and CGT have had any influence/lobbying from American residential property giants who seem to be establishing Australian operations over the last year or two?

There was an email in the Epstein files where US notifies Australia about a dark web request to take out all Epstein survivors. Crazy stuff.

Woolworths trumpeted eight consecutive quarters of price declines. Hereโ€™s why that claim doesnโ€™t pass the pub test To truly pay less than two years ago, a family might need to make dinner from washed potatoes, cheese slices, white sugar and long grain rice

โ€œWoolworths uses the Fisher method, formula that tracks the average price of items actually sold, not the changes in shelf price..This reframes a decline in living standards as a saving, masking the fact grocery prices are actually rising, as every shopper knowsโ€

Iran is gearing up for a long war of attrition against Israel and the US There are no more red lines for Tehran - just a slow, calculated strategy to exploit the blind spots of Washington and its allies

Last June Trump & Netanyahu claimed they had destroyed Iranโ€™s nuclear & ballistic missile programme

โ€œAt the decisive moment, we rose like a lion & stood tall, & our roar shook Tehranโ€ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑPM

And now they expect us to believe Iran is days away from having nukes ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Man, Amazon is really creaky today, pages and searches failing all over the place.

Looks like that 90% of our code is AI-generated thing is really working out for them, huh?

[FWIW, Microsoft, Bluesky, etc. all suffering too. The Web is beginning to get really wobbly. We'll miss it when it's gone.]

First pressure is high interest rates and economic uncertainty, so cut staff to the bone and pursue "efficiency".

No jobs means no grad pipeline and experienced people with necessary skills exit the market.

By the time the hype bubble is burst, good luck finding competent people, so stuck with AI.

The average dev in the average workplace is not in a safe space to own quality and their tech leadership usually does not know how to make such a change or care to do it. The first response to quality issues is still almost always 'more testers', and an unscalable test-last automation approach.

Like, I"m aware that a few places had no testers, but throwing it over the fence has been the dominant model in most places I've been the last 25 years, and most of the stories I hear from peers are about regression to the old ways, despite the options available.

When someone says โ€žScientists do not want you to knowโ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They canโ€™t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
