This Is... SUCH An Accurate Way To Describe What Working With Programming Is Like
This is... SUCH an accurate way to describe what working with programming is like
And fun fact!
We work very hard to make the computer MORE whiney.
We want it to check EXACTLY what is going on and start crying about very specific things so those errors does not end up in the release!
computer: I can't icanticanticant do it...I need CoolLibrary where's CoolLibrary I can't find it ;m;
me: uh, lemme check..
*rummages through the filesystem*
me: ...aha !! see, we got CoolLibrary right here !
computer: b-but..but it's...it's the nnneeewww CoolLibrary >:c I want the oooolllddddd one !!!!
*me, writing 'old' on a label and sticking it to CoolLibrary*
me: here you go, honey, how's this ?
computer: yippee !!! yaaayyy !!!! ^w^

I work a full time job for engineer pay. Making me the breadwinner.
According to weird society standards, this makes me the one carrying my two partners
... exept that is not how it works at all. I CANNOT run a private economy. Things slip through the cracks, bills get payed late, money runs out.
I also am bad at communication that is not about specifically technical things. Those emails, for work or private, I often write in the evning with massive help from my partners.
I cannot decorate a house. So alone I would live in miserable looking places. I cannot clean if it is just for my own benefit.
I can do maybe 3-5 things a day. And when running a household I need to do 15-20 to keep it all running and nice.
But for me, going to work is 1 thing. I can do that relatively easily.
But I WOULD not be able to do hold down a job alone. But with my partners, I can do it easily.
People who need help to function should get the help they need!
So they can be the best they can be.
Because anything else is not jsust cruel. It is also a waste.
maybe harsh take. but. shitting on people who can't care about selves. who live with parents. who rely on partners in 'basic' tasks. (yes even body care tasks). who got chores done for them. who don't work. is ableist. even if clarify 'this specific person isn't disabled.' it still perpetuates stigma. it still ableist.
say exactly what wrong. have they overstepped someone's boundaries? have they pressured someone into care? have they manipulated abused etc.? something else? point wrong behavior. n critique this behavior.
'they're 30 n live with parents' not bad behavior. 'their parent cut their nails' not bad behavior. 'they don't work' not bad behavior.
'but they're abled!' 1) you don't know for sure. can't know for sure. undiagnosed n invisible disabilities exist. not every undiagnosed individual able to take care of self. recognize undiagnosed n invisible disabilities existence not only when they look 'nice' for you. 2) it still contributes to stigma around needing care. disabled people often not seen as disabled. even if visibly disabled. every individual presumed abled because ableism. so disabled individuals will be shitted on because need care. because presumed abled.
to destigmatize needing care. have to destigmatize getting care. even if not see as 'reasonable' n 'justified.' can't destigmatize needing care if say 'getting care depending on others living with parents etc. is bad but disabled is exception.' because still stigmatize process of getting cared.
people don't need allowance n approval of society to get care.
(not say not call out bad behavior. ask call out bad behavior specifically. not stigmatized neutral things).
Happens a lot on all of tech as more companies is doing the Enshittification thing.
I was told by a senior engineer that what I was promising my boss I could build was not possible.
I countered by oppening the datasheet for the microcontroller in question and pointing to the page that said I was correct.
Turns out he have never read the documentation for the microcontroller he have been working on for the last 10 years.
I had read the entire thing before having been there a month
All his knowledge is based on rumors and hearsay
I think the real reason most websites are janky as hell to use these days is because web developers have become so specialised that nobody really understands how anything works anymore. The other day I had to explain why hosting critical Javascript libraries on a third-party CDN is a bad idea to a "lead developer" who genuinely didn't know the difference between server-side versus client-side scripting.
I... have to work SO hard to not be sarcastic and mean when I walk through past nutritional subliments or womens bathroom pruducts.
Because there are real knowledge about what works and for what. But that knowledge you have to find by digging in a oceans of wrong facts and misinformation that the pruducts write you you.

AND it's cherry-flavored! 🍒

I sometimes feel very tired and alone...
I am right now requesting copies of the permits for a concert I do vulenteer work for because they had us working with polluted dirt ( lead, mercury and cyanid... yum ) and gave the wrong equipment and info to the workers...
I am also pushing my workplace to have a checklist for setting up test hardware installations that can KILL YOU instead of relying on random people around sorta remembering how to do it safely hopefully
And I keep thinking "why me. Why is it always me who have to kick and push for basic kindergarten safety while surrounded by people who have just been accepting this shit for years"
And then I quote Tiffany Aching from the Terry Pratchett books and get on with it
"All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!
I said the same thing about companies wanting my gender when I applied to a job.
To my case worker in the unemployment benefit part of the municipality before I found my current job.
She then told me that it was to allow firms gender discriminate, which she thought was perfectly fine...
I... have rarely been that gobsmacket...
