These poor software programmers with six figure salaries and full benefits being exploited. All they wanted to do is make the industry even more nepotistic and pull up the ladder behind them

I seriously hate these people that keep ruining my life

I’m starting worry that the energy of the Trump movement is there anymore. We’re failing to attract new supporters and the enthusiasm has all dried up… How do we reverse this?

is there a company that has done more damage to software than Microsoft. I was considering Apple as well but fortunately they locked down to their own ecosystems.

Microsoft idiosyncrasies being synonymous with software has done terrible, irreparable damage to computing as a whole.

It's painful to think about where we could be technologically if Microsoft was never in the way.

Gaming used to be so magical, like playing Shenmue at release on the Dreamcast. Or playing Final Fantasy IX for the first time around the year 2000. Or, playing Secret of Mana on SNES in the 90s. Even up to the PS2 era, with games like GTA San Andreas or Vice City, and it's been gone ever since. San Andreas was probably the last game I played that still had that magic.
