  • Some people just don’t care. To me it really feels like they are trying to create the problems to later sell the solution, and it’s a never ending cycle. I’ve quit my recent job because 90% of the team just sucks, security risks everywhere, the API just doesn’t respect contracts, there’s no contract actually, we just ask on private chats how to integrate with it really. New features on top of buggy code while support is on fire with the 100th bug ticket reported in just a week. Not to mention that you have a design team, a project manager and a “VP of engineering” but the epics they want you to do are almost just the title of the idea they had at lunch 😅.

    This guys are very lucky because the operation teams is able to cash in millions of revenue a year by combining excel, monday and WhatsApp to do their jobs, while a few are still forced to interact with a piece of shit of software that the engineer department provides to them…

    Anyway, some people just don’t care.


  • I don’t believe the children should pay for they fathers mistakes. I was replying to the OP comment that suggests that we should take into account slavery has something to do with poor conditions some of said descendant of slaves are atm.

    I came from a long line of poor people in the sense of money, and only one of my uncles was able to get a degree (from his pocket money and hard work, you have to pay even if it’s a public university), recently a cousin was also able to get a degree as well. And me and my brother pursuit more technical courses.

    I can have a decent income by working on projects from abroad but the Portuguese state takes ~70% of that in direct and indirect taxation.

    Meanwhile I don’t have a family doctor for 14 years now, and if I need something to be taken care of I need to get help in the private sector. Justice is slow, the streets and public buildings are decaying to a point of rupture, public administration is a complete disgrace in general…

    I’m basically a slave to this corrupt politicians. They take my hard work in the form of taxation and provide nothing/almost nothing in return.





  • Doesn’t Kotlin has interoperability with Java? I didn’t used it much yet but I’m about to in a few months. Is it that difficult to just refactor things to Kotlin when you need to change something in the project? I’m asking because I just can’t work with verbose languages and would prefer Kotlin to Java everyday.



  • A friend of mine named his dog Byte. The dog is very playful, and has the habit of running in the direction of other people he meets.

    When the dog does that my friend tries to call him back shouting: “BYTE!! BYTE!!”. People get really scared when this happens 😂

    Okay, not so funny if you are the one being approached by the dog.




  • I feel the OP. Communists are more active around the fedi I think. Nothing wrong about it. It’s just a fact. Everyone should be heard in my opinion. Even thought the majority is still stuck in an ideology with almost 200 years that failed miserably every time it was implemented. Socialism is a bit more evolved. A mix of capitalism and socialism seems to be the sweet spot. My 2cents.
