    Nah, they’re actually fantastic at brain numbing tasks. I like to feed it sql tables and have it act like an ORM, but without the tradeoffs of an ORM. I’d never do it manually, but it’s far more readable and easy to work with

    I also love using it for api’s. You can feed it a response, say “hey, I just want the id, status, and amount” (or whatever) and it’ll restructure the data for you

    These are not hard problems… They are tedious ones though. They solve a problem by brute force, a problem we “solve” over and over because at the end of the day: programmers are lazy.

    You can over engineer complex bindings until the cows come home, but a simple pattern with each field explicitly mapped is the best solution. It’s just really, really annoying to actually do it

    I feel bad because I’ve made the world worse, or that I’ve disappointed myself. But when circumstances force me to act in ways I find immoral, I just feel disgust

    I want good things for everyone in general, but I’m not some endlessly patient Buddha.

    I just try to understand people through their own eyes… And I try to understand myself too. I feel what they feel, but I can also just walk away

    But it’s not about them, not really.

    It’s about me - who am I? Do I make things better or worse? Do I make people better or worse? If you brought me into a perfect world, would I make that world worse?

    If there were 5 billion of me, what kind of world would it be?

    It’s because they become an avatar for their money

    Every tweet Elon makes affects his horde. Every single one - and usually it’s just a few hundred thousand and balances out- but occasionally it’s hundreds of millions in the red

    And Elon can’t help himself. Most of them can

    They can only be themselves in locations with tight information control, which is generally resorts with other billionaires. Who seem to be consistently in a pissing match with each other about their wealth and influence

    And that’s why they’re fucking inhuman dragons

    You mean the strangely recognized new state is rolling over and showing their belly to capitol?

    Of course they are. They bought recognition from Trump, months after a revolution. Of course they’re not taking stands, they’ve gotten legitimacy despite their very tenuous status. Not to mention, they’ve taken a hard stand against Russia… They kind of have to play ball

    And what I’ve heard they’ve been very reasonable to the citizens and trying to make this a smooth transition. I don’t blame them for doing what they have to do… It would be really, really stupid not to
