@glen_malley Before I left software I found it a lot with young devs too .. no interest whatsoever in learning, expanding their craft, just a 1000 mile stare once they left their comfort zone.
gullevek ☢️ 🇯🇵gullevek@famichiki.jpNov 12, 2026, 9:52 PM@tokyobybike @glen_malley Well. Just let you know. AI made it one bazillion times worse. Wohoo. Super duper future. Also AI made people who don’t want to learn a fuckzillion times more annoying. Because those people then will tell other people the wrong this the large lying machine told them. It’s a fucked world. Let’s all get off Mr Bones Wild Ride

Relatable.
Most people expect to cruise through life, brain on idle, and get upset when everyone else doesn't cater to their mental laziness. They will download a #FOSS application for free, and bitch about how come it's not designed the precise way they want.

I wonder who ties their shoes for them.
