oddly poetic
He has experience in troubleshooting
He has great discipline and self motivation, he never misses a target
So "Fix Civ Bugs" is new code for "Eat the rich" and it's not even doublespeak.
Civilization has these bugs where some people can get ultra wealthy and ruin it for everyone. As Devs, we need to fix that.
Taking bets on how long before discussing fixing Civ bugs gets you banned on r*ddit
Trouble-shooting
😂
It's a shame those weren't caught in QA and are now in production. Hard to ship a patch for so many platforms!
I get him now. Using Jira has made me want to kill people too.
He didn't actually kill tho.
Neither have I. Lucille Bluth wink
Jira is absolute trash. Scrumlords, and their 4 days of actual work per year, should spend their large amount of free time making software that isn't garbage.
yes, but I havent seen anything thats better yet. I've seen a bunch of worse ticketing systems.
The true answer, which not one single CEO will ever want to hear until the problem becomes so dire it threatens the business, is if all the tools available are hot garbage, it's time to build your own. Generality in software has a cost, and for large multidisciplinary problems like job tracking or ticketing, that cost makes developing an in-house tool for solving your specific problem and your specific use case much more efficient than what any general tool could produce. All those stupid features that some other company depends on, or no one uses, or are only there because someone was trying to capture all possible use cases, can simply not exist. That makes the tool faster, more efficient, simpler to use, and when you realize there's some feature that would be really valuable you can just implement it rather than cludge together some half assed version in someone else's proprietary shitpile. There is a scale where things like jira make sense, but much like cloud services it's a technical trap because by the time you realize the tool doesn't really work for your use case it's too late to switch. At that point you're already past the point you need to start developing your own tool, but the sunk cost fallacy is a bitch and there's never enough funding for that. Pay no attention to the csuite salaries.

Heh, my org went the opposite route. They started by developing their own tool that's gotten so big and bloated (with all the original implementers LONG gone) that it's at the point where they're talking about moving to a pre built tool because the self built one is too unwieldy to do what we need to do.
At that point you're already past the point you need to start developing your own tool, but the sunk cost fallacy is a bitch and there's never enough funding for that.
And if you're not at that point at the beginning of the process, wait a few years until employee churn is high enough that the sunk cost of the self built system is finally outweighed by the technical debt of the system.
Systems have lifecycles. They should die at some time and be replaced by other systems that function better for the now.
But instead, patch patch patch and keep all the unused or rarely used functions, as well as add more because some csuite attended a conference once and decided it needed x y and z even though company only used a-h.
The man just could not stop solving problems.
No one fixes bugs and problems like Luigi 🤭
A troubleshooter, some would say.
Bro was fixing civ before he decided to try to fix civ manually 😛
He has that results-oriented mindset
Man knows how to remove a bug
Saving Civilization, one bug at a time.
Better free him so he can fix the UI in Civ7
Remember then the media was calling him a Techbro instead of a tech worker? Yeah, he was never a Techbro.
They tried everything... It didn't work
Bootlickers eventually fell inline but anyone paying attention saw right through the bullshit.
Anyone with basic vidya game exp knows that you re going the right way when you get this many enemies having a melt down on teevee and socials
Maybe I misunderstand the context of the term but I never viewed them as mutually exclusive. There are toxic "bro" type devs who are still actually good devs (doesn't excuse being an ass though). I never viewed it as meaning someone who doesn't code "for real" but maybe I'm misusing it.
For me, "Techbro" exclusively refers to people who repackage existing ideas and sell them as an innovation to VC investors. Think of how many techbros keep reinventing trains and boats, but worse.
I picture those who didn't embrace geek culture or esthetics, leaning more towards jock and fraternity culture instead, but who saw money in computers.
Arrogant, posturing douchebags that don't understand the technology they're involved in and are unwilling to learn. Any "work" that's done is by actual tech workers or tools creates by them.
The tech bro is only in it for money and "prestige"
Truly a God among men
He's like a real life, "most interesting man in the world".
a true patriot would organize a team to break this guy out of jail.
The best outcome of this situation is jury nullification. If the jury nullifies, we'll have proven the law does not prosecute heroic deeds of this caliber. It would be the biggest blow to capitalism in generations.
"he who saves his country has committed no crimes"
i threw up in my mouth a bit quoting trump, but throwing their words back at them is always satisfying.
If it makes you feel any better, Trump was quoting Napoleon.
You can tell he was quoting someone else because the sentence makes grammatical sense
i love that too, but they will be anticipating jury nullification, and they have stopped people from doing it before.
i just don't trust anything abut the american justice system any more.
The have been arrested white Canadians for improper documentation and holding them for months with no charge or even telling them why they have been arrested and detained.
Once the jurors are selected, we need to start a social media blitz in New York around jury nullification. Signs on street corners. Murals. Chanting crowds outside the courthouse on the court dates.
We can do this 💪
I am in Canada. I would go, but I don't want CBP to be asking me any questions. Last time I visited the US they searched my car for no reason. I have been interrogated by them before (you can probably tell by my username I am of Lebanese descent), but I have a feeling that the Trumpian bullshit might empower them to detain me for no fucking reason.
i agree, but keep in mind that if the DOJ knows what they're up against, they will pull some underhanded shit to make a conviction unavoidable. don't doubt them for a second.
i honestly have no faith and would rather see us organizing the things that don't interact with the gears of government at all.
Aren't jurors for high profile cases typically secluded during the trial? Would they even be on social media or in a position to be out in public much?
Sequestered
They still have to enter the building, and the courts have specifically found that holding signs signs and handing out pamphlets about jury nullification in public space outside of courthouse are 100% protected speech.
I have been shouting this from the rooftops since I heard what happened. So many people think you have to punish someone if they are proven guilty... not true in the USA. The jury can decide he is not guilty for whatever reason they want. They can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he did it and the jury can still let him go. So many people don't know this.
Also a great way to get out of jury duty is to mention this during the selection process, they will boot you 100% of the time if you know this.
The problem is that if you try to get on a jury to do this then you're usually probably committing perjury. They typically ask questions somewhat related to it without outright using the phrase.
Definitely true. I would perjure myself to get Luigi off the hook though. He is a hero not a criminal. He had the balls to kill that piece of shit, I can have the balls to tell a white lie to get him out.
