    Not really. That's like saying a design document should be pulled out of commit messages. There are a few reasons I can think of why this would be a bad idea. Maybe the biggest is …

    Everything you're saying is reasonable but the ultimate conclusion of such views is that disagreement with "expert consensus" is not allowed. Your entire thread with me has been di…

    >I'm not free to take it, anymore. As you said, it's been taken off the market for most people. Well, I meant that you should be free to take it if there is a reasonable argument t…

    I'm not the guy you responded to, but I just wanted to say I think you misunderstood him. He wasn't prescribing a solution. He was describing a situation. If good people leave all …

    That depends very much on what kind of software you are writing and how good you are at it. I do not think math makes as much sense as CS for general software jobs. It might not co…

    If they're not swappable, that supports my claim about scarcity even more. But I also have people here saying that you can swap in anybody vaguely technical, sometimes without cred…

    We can both "yeah, but" this to death. You make some valid points but I think my observation generally holds. The supply of workers is not so elastic, at least if you have real sta…

    You may be right but it's not high pay alone that draws in people from other industries. Standards must be relaxed to accept people from unconventional backgrounds. When conditions…

    That might be true but how many of these people are there, really? I'm not convinced that many companies are hiring these barely-qualified people.

    Of course the judgement about whether people overhired is subjective on a per-company basis. My point is, you can't hire people who don't exist, and the ways to get people into the…

    It is no doubt a campaign or at least a meme. It seems basically impossible for everyone to have overhired, for the simple reason that qualified workers do not appear and disappear…

    There are also targets with fluorescent backgrounds and special black paint that flakes off near the holes. There is a limit to how many holes you can see in the target but it is w…

    Sounds like communist gobbledygook. This is not "destroying labor theory" any more than outsourcing did. Call me when we don't even need to prompt the shit ever again or validate r…

    I think you should consider a third option: 3. After years of refusing to learn git and making excuses for their hate, the goobers finally buckle down and read the manual for a too…

    That is an absurd straw man. The point is, rebase workflow is ergonomic enough for the amount of splitting or rewording anyone realistically needs. Furthermore, knowing rebase is e…

    Comment #47878701

    I think this is cluttering git with a bunch of special-case commands when rebase is all you need. Next thing you know, people will say we need to drop git because there are 5 ways …

    If this is meant to be a dig, you should keep in mind how much jj owes to git.

    There are many cases where the EV busses have been abandoned. Busses typically do not do their route and stop, so getting a significant amount of charging for any busses requires e…

    Station batteries are an additional toxic inextinguishable fire hazard and expense to consider. I wonder what is the efficiency loss in charging one battery to turn around and char…

    Two different issues... On one hand, government should not compete with private enterprise because it has many unfair advantages. Imagine paying taxes to subsidize your competition…
