I mean, yeah, he could also not use git and just write some random bullshit directly on prod while blindfolded and blackout drunk.
However if you want a good product and good code you need to follow best practices, and those include meaningful and small PRs that you can easily review, check, debug, and revert if necessary.

Seems like the tax is working then

Most skilled engineers, and even mildly skilled engineers don’t use slopgenerators to write code. Some of them use it sometimes to do some menial tasks, although I’m not convinced it actually saves them time. It sure doesn’t every time we measure it.
There is however a plague of low skilled people who convinced themselves that they’ve found a shortcut to being an engineer. Those people are producing bad things at a fast pace, and the only reason we’re not in an unsolvable crisis yet is that their slop isn’t hitting prod very often on account of being bad.

This doesn’t make me uneasy. It makes me resentful, a little angry, and a lot tired. Thanks for bringing it to attention, I will make sure that nothing of that project or from that author will ever cross my ecosystem again.

Doesn’t matter, it’s entirely too much for one PR

Hmm, I was hooked from the first second. What did you not like in the first episodes?

I’m talking from experience both in education and sysadmin duties. In my life I helped hundreds of people switch to Linux, for work, for home, for everything in between, and was that helpful person that answers all their questions. I have the statistics, however informal, I know what I’m talking about. There are whole categories of problems that people encounter with Ubuntu and it’s derivatives that just categorically don’t exist in Arch. And you can trust whatever the fuck you want.

If you need a GUI software manager, my suggestion is to not use arch

Arch is actually great for beginners, way better than usual alternatives like Ubuntu for example. If you need a GUI software manager, Arch or Arch derivatives are still better than a lot of the rest.
Besides, a lot of people like fancy GUIs, nothing wrong with that. You’re right that graphic app stores aren’t amazing, but that’s shouldn’t be the norm then. I will still do everything in CLI, but I will vehemently defend our less technically advanced bretheren’s right to click their mouse on the colourful buttons

What do you do to it so it becomes unstable?

There is no “harms of social media” per se. There are harms of unregulated companies that purposefully create addiction machines that are harmful to everyone, young and old alike. Our collective grandma became an antivaxer at the ripe age of 71, our collective dad became racist not at 13 either.

The official reddit app is a vomit-inducing pile of antipatterns, I hate it so much I don’t use reddit while on the phone at all, which made me use it almost never. Now I need to escape this hellhole and my life will be so much better

For the love of all that’s holy, get a proper ventilation though. A lot of people who soldered with leaded solder for years will tell you that it’s not necessary, and that alone should tell you everything.

Letters? On my screen? Instead of icons and pictograms that I can click with my mouse? Preposterous!

Don’t give a flying fuck what you think your bot should do. Your public facing interface gives a discount, I take a discount, simple as.

Would you call Washington a small city? It has very comparable population to Riga

You fixed it though.

I see your point, and it’s a valid one. It’s just so exhausting that you need to be an expert in the thing you hate and that’s obviously destroying society in order to talk about it’s effects on society. It’s like that with gun-nuts, if you don’t know the specific differences between AR-15 and M16A1, you’re not allowed to have an opinion on how easy it is for a child to get one and societal problems stemmed from it.

I’m afraid you used brain destroying machine to destroy your brain, and now this is the level of comprehension we’re working with. It’s sad, really. You should be glad that gods don’t exist, otherwise they would be very disappointed.

Despite what your clanker wifu told you, just saying the word “strawman” doesn’t actually constitutes as a proper position.

Is that what you think being said to you? Is that what you consider an appropriate response? Damn, that’s even worse than I thought.
