Real talk. You're not just making a good point -- you're questioning the dominant paradigm

Would you feel the same way if a professional athlete was saying it? are you just anti-competition in general?

Some of it is, but things like "your stage/dev and production environments should be completely isolated from eachother" are valid and most tech companies get lazy on this front

If every software company was _actually_ 4-5x or more productive (like CEOs are saying) that should be easily detectable in economic data

A similar BS is also every CEO claiming AI made their company 10x faster yet GDP trends not really budging

No it isn't, have you never played any game or sport? do you fundamentally not understand the concept of competition?

No it isn't. It's a competition, making moves that benefit you and attempting to deprive your opponent of the same move is just called competing

Sitting down at a table to play poker and refusing to acknowledge the rest of the players are trying to take your money isn't "avoiding cynicism" it's just being a mark

The reason we have laws is to protect the powerful from mobs right?

The "blind" ones are people like you! doing everything in good faith against people who aren't and fundamentally oppose you and your existence. Foolish!

Are you pro or anti touchdown? Do you support or oppose winning? Is supporting my allies winning and enemies losing wrong?

I'm just so sick of people in our tribe who REFUSE to ever name their enemies. We're doing everything in good faith against people who hate us and want us to die. It's silly, and standing on some principle of equality while we continually lose over and over is sad to watch

Wow you got my demographics and political opinions wrong entirely! We almost certainly vote for the same people. I'm just so sick of people in our tribe who REFUSE to ever name their enemies. We're doing everything in good faith against people who hate us and want us to die. It's silly, and standing on some principles while we continually lose over and over is sad to watch

That's not hilarious or sad. It's valid to oppose your enemies and support your allies. It takes a certain kind of educated liberal bubble to think that is "hilarious"

Couldn't disagree more. It's a social experience, it's so unfun and antisocial to have some go to a large gathering of humans and get annoyed when their presence is detectable. Go listen to the song by yourself in a room

This is so antisocial. Just go listen to it by yourself in your room if human presence is annoying
