<p>not to be excessively flippant or dismissive, but: just stop? if open-source is a hobby rather than a paid job (e.g. you do not work on the React team at Meta or other equivalent), and you are not enjoying it, then why are you doing it? choose a different hobby!<p>if you feel like the quotations in this article, e.g. this one:<p>> I don’t feel like working on [it] anymore. It went from being one of the most fun experiences in my life to making me feel terrible everyday.<p>why are you doing it? stop! go outside, go for a hike, get a bike, train for a marathon, play video games... anything but writing code you're not paid to write that is making you miserable.</p>

<p>you can easily pull up contemporary indie bands with 5000 listeners on spotify, you can also easily pull up non-modern music too. if you want something definitely non-corporate, they have Lou Reed's <i>Metal Machine Music</i>.</p>

<p>yeah I never use their recommendation playlists, other than the automatic ongoing playlist once an album ends. that generally plays one song by the same artist and then some similar artists which are all real people (annoyingly it tends to choose the same most popular songs for an artist it chooses every single time)<p>I just find music on sites like p4k, opening bands at shows, or the "similar artists" feature on Spotify which always suggests real people for me, they have convincing photos and often upcoming shows listed so probably not an AI bot</p>

<p>how are people getting this AI music on Spotify? where are you finding it? for example the home recommendations for me today are The Beths, Big Thief, Geese, and Sleater-Kinney. and it is all albums I have already have listened to, but fine, whatever, that's just bad recommendations, not AI.<p>generally I use either the search box, which is always going to return the Geese album and not AI slop if I type "Getting Killed", or the library view on the left side, I don't think I've never seen an AI album on Spotify, where are you getting them?</p>

<p>a bit nitty, but "never get punctures" is just an attribute of the tires, not the bike. if you stick Gatorskins on a Tarmac SL8, you'll also never get punctures. but that's like putting tractor tires on a sports car, and you'll be slower and have a less comfortable ride than you would with GP5Ks.</p>

<p>maybe I'm missing something, but just put a smaller chainring on? or do you need something like MTB cassette amount of range?<p>given the tiny wheels, a chainring that would be "normal" on a 700c 1x gravel bike should be very easy for climbing on a folding bike.</p>

<p>I think you're more upset about this than the typical Meta employee. Judging by... vibes, the main reason they aren't taking volunteers for these layoffs is that they might get more than 10% champing at the bit to take the severance.<p>The 2022 RSUs at Meta have more than doubled since the grant price, and are mostly vested out now, ending Feb 2027, after which there will be a steep TC decline for people employed since 2022, especially those on an initial grant or with very good performance for that refresher. There are a good portion of people sitting on either FIRE or at least extended funemployment amounts of money that the severance is looking <i>mighty</i> tempting to.</p>

<p>> It sounded like both of them are injecting themselves from stuff they're buying on the Internet.<p>lol, wtf. I mean, I am a moderately serious cyclist, I guess (~250 miles/week) and also climb, hike, other outdoors sports etc. So I do care about performance and diet and such. But there is zero chance I am sticking a needle full of something I bought on the internet into myself—what on earth?</p>

<p>you're upgrading the repository from language version 1 to 2, version 2 adds new compiler errors that rejects some old code, or the library has removed some old deprecated API the repository was still using in some places—the key here being that it can't be something that needs to be completely atomic.<p>you have hundreds or thousands of files to fix. that is unreviewable as a single commit, but as a per-file, per-library, per-oncall, etc. commit it is not that bad.</p>

<p>in Phabricator you either abandon the original diffs entirely, or you amend them. you don't just stack more commits with meaningless messages like "WIP", "lint fix", etc. on top.<p>> The time of other devs is quite valuable and I can't imagine wasting it by having them review something that doesn't even make it in.<p>this is now what stacked diffs are for. stacked diffs doesn't mean putting up code that isn't ready. for example you are updating some library that needs an API migration, or compiler version that adds additional stricter errors. you need to touch hundreds of files around the repository to do this. rather than putting up one big diff (or PR) you stack up hundreds of them that are trivial to review on their own, they land immediately (mitigating the risk of merge conflicts as you keep going) then one final one that completes the migration.</p>

<p>this works much better in Phabricator because commits to diffs are a 1:1 relationship, diffs are updated by amending the commit, etc., the Github implementation does seem a bit like gluing on an additional feature.</p>
