Now what was the cause of the bug? Fat fingering human error during release.

There isn’t a singular “the” cause usually, and if we do want to press for it, I’d say an aggressive deadline for a major product that needs engineers to slave away was the cause. At that point bugs become stastically inevitable. Whoever decided on that promised deadline was the first responsible person.

Steve Jobs was no different from the rest in Silicon Valley who would spout virtues out loud while simultaneously undermining them in practice.

In 2024 using linux is far less cognitively demanding than using windows

Microsoft is magnitudes worse than google.

“Engineering”

Elixir: Look of superiority

Oh but you just aren’t doing scrum tm right!!!

This reminds me when a senior engineer asked me to write exception handling on a one-off python script, not a production code - just a script devs can use internally. The “handling” was that the program should exit when a file is not found. He wanted me to try the file open, except the file error, print “file not found” message and exit(1).

Guess what, genius. Python already does that for you. No need to write an extra wrapper needlessly.

“Compress to Postcode” vibes ala windows 11
