There’s an earlier bit that complements that nicely:

“it turns out that the core competency of smiling and promising people things that you can’t actually deliver is highly transferable.”

There are so many Java libraries that I would probably set on fire if they were physically tangible in any way.

Ok, well, if you ever come across a test framework named AuTest, you can blame me, because I’m stealing the shit out of that.

The “Brick through a widow” bug has been an active exploit since the Model T.

This ad is literally the perfect opposite of their famous Think different ad:

We have an actual gigantic, unfeeling machine, literally crushing an effigy of the sum total of human creativity, only to proudly declare that everyone now needs to do all those things in the same, apple-approved way.

It doesn’t pay well, but “park ranger” is exactly that.

Fuck. That’s exactly it.

I’m gonna need a bell curve hooded figure meme template of this comment, this is comedy gold.

nothing, it’s an open standard now: SAE J3400

Those people can just carve “FUCK” into their own foreheads, then everyone will know they’re fuckheads, no patches required.
