@wallhackio oh there are people on the feed being like “trans people need to get into crypto so they can commit more crimes” which is a very 2018 take

@Satsuma @wallhackio idk what flower u are but i eat it too

@Satsuma @wallhackio chomp

@aescling @Satsuma do you got any cis women in there also

@wallhackio i was hungry and every part of the dandelion plant is edible

@aescling @Satsuma maybe leave the convent from time to time tho

@aescling @Satsuma well that seems fine then

@aescling @Satsuma because you are a girl who prefers the company of other women or because you can’t find where the men are on the internet?

@wallhackio i was willfully misinterpreting for the bit

@wallhackio XML shouldn’t need configuration!

@coriander and because everyone is already lying to each other constantly to maintain the shared illusion that software development is profitable in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, it’s very easy for some people to just add a few extra layers of lying into the mix

@coriander well the thing is that no technology which is good makes money. so you have some people making technology which is bad, like advertising, which of course is an industry built on grifting. or you have people making technology which is good, and somehow having to convince universities or governments that it serves their bottom line to fund this thing which will never make anyone any money, which is a different kind of grift. (in the middle there is the group who works on good technology but sells it to venture capitalists, which is 100% a grift.) and this is all very normalized, because software development is not actually compatible with capitalism, to the extent that most tech workers do not even realize that this is going on and don’t understand that this isn’t how ordinary industries operate

@coriander all programming is a grift but people have really stopped pretending with this one

@coriander VIBE CODING in name only, for it is neither
