I feel this.
What is the actual point of publishing knowledge bases and documentation if nobody reads them?
Do it.
Enough with tolerating that bullshit.
Let them spew their hate, just make sure it’s contained.
Preferably where nobody can see or hear them.
We’re mostly just keeping ourselves to ourselves.
You guys do you.
Ah, the humans.
On one hand they’re all for peace and unity but on the other hand they’re still using platforms owned by a man who had a hand in orchestrating military killings, swinging the US elections, facilitating Brexit etc and a man who, amongst other things, has been photographed partying with Maxwell, Murdoch, Trump and all the other evil fucks.
My biggest problem is figuring out what I want to do with any coding skills. I have none, by the way, and I don't even know where to start.
Some of the usual responses when I state this:
"Automate your work" - I work in Salesforce. Have you seen Salesforce? I'm not a multi faceted systems administrator constantly updating DNS records or working in Active Directory.
"Write a cool app" - What cool app? What is "cool"?
"Open dev tools and look around" - Why? Specifically, why?
Also, learning programming is BORING. Most of the courses I've tried are so so stale and they aaallll end up explaining concepts in the same way.
"This is a fleeble and it holds the sping, the sping tells the plus plus that it must do what the herbug says".
k.
I take stock.
What are my personal positive achievements?
Where am I right now, is it a good place?
It doesn’t have to be my final destination, but is it good?
If I strip away all the fringe and lingering bullshit, am I safe and happy in this specific point in time?
Like right now: I am on the couch drinking coffee on a Saturday morning. I have three dogs with me. I am safe and I am loved.
What happens tomorrow is future zombie_kong’s problem. Not todays.
Edit: you got this. It’s nothing. A mere blip in this adventure we call living.
My opinion is that if you give a shit about how and where you spend your time, you will not support a platform run by and inhabited by dickheads.
Vote with your feet, or thumbs in this case.
If you’re not feeling 100%, take a day.
Variables being: do you like your job?
Is your employer a fair employer?
Will the business crumble if you’re not there? I mean, if it does, that’s a company problem, not a you problem.
You should be working to live, not the other way around.
Nope. I can stop whenever I like.
Fully in control.
Nothing to see here.
They’ve really fucked that place.
Such a shame.
Anyway…
Try not to injure yourselves whilst celebrating.
Yes.
I was afraid it would be a mid range sci fi but it’s turned out to be fantastic.
