  • I remember visiting my family in Brasil some 20 years ago. Lots of stores had their own financing-long-term offers. People would then continue buying without bothering with details, each buy would add to a total sum.

    There’s no way to check if the total amount was correct, without including the % they had to pay for the credit, which changed every month.

    A tedious task most people didn’t bother with.


  • The problem is also people, like project managers, suddenly coming in and showing us what his AI companion responded to the bug we were hunting.

    See? Just do it like this, isn’t that hard.

    I took a look and it was so wrong, but written with so much confidence, that everyone thinks, that’s it. The correct answer.

    When i told him that, he just waved it away.

    For many this is like “at last i can see what the devs really do, how much code they write, how long it should take.”



  • Sadly, Germany is also doing it’s part

    In 2023, Germany approved arms exports to Israel worth 326.5 million euros including military equipment and war weapons, a 10-fold increase from 2022, data from the ministry, which approves export licences, showed. Commenting on the fall in exports, the German government has said there is no arms export boycott on Israel, and export permits are issued case-by-case after careful review, taking into account international law, foreign policy and security considerations.

    It’s all “legal” and it won’t stop.
