techno-political rant
Say what you want about using the right tool for each problem, but there are tools that suck no matter what.
I'm tired of people portraying legit technical criticism as "biased" and "religious", while at the same time they present themselves as tolerant and open-minded (spoiler: for the most part, they aren't).
Almost every day of my life I have to deal with the nasty consequences of ultra-dumb decisions made by the very same people who are obsessed with productivity and criticise all day long whoever pushes for any design that shows any minim amount of care and/or deep thought (mostly via strawmen arguments).
And, of course, unironically: this has a lot to do with capitalism, as many of our other social and economic problems.
They arrive, have a strike of super-productivity for a few weeks/months and then use that as a trampoline to raise through the ranks or abandon ship before having to face the consequences of their technical crimes.
Then others arrive and are obviously slower at that same job... so the uneducated observers start believing that these newcomers aren't as good as the class traitors who wrote the initial nasty code.
To make things worse, if any of these newcomers dare to speak openly about introducing good practices... this ends up creating a new mental association (in the minds of uneducated observers) between "good engineering" and "lack of productivity".
The ones trying to fix the mess are indeed slower, not because they try to do things the right way though, but because they have to waste vasts amounts of time fixing what is objectively broken besides doing the "visible" work.
Most of today's established "super-productive" ones, if they were starting today, would be probably "vibe coders", certainly not what we commonly understand as a programmer. Not because AI-coding is the future, but because they never cared about the trade at all. They were here only for the grift.

I guess there's no real need to explain why I'm doing this, but there's always someone who was lucky enough to be living in the jungle for a while (or something like that), disconnected from everything.
Hypothetical jungle person: I envy you.
Summary: I'm tired of big corporations stealing everything they can to train their #LLMs, and I'm also tired of companies like #Microsoft being active collaborators of the Trump regime.

Bravo!

Trumps Regime nicht "Faschismus" nennen ist Realitätsverweigerung
Unter Experten ist die Debatte, ob Trumps Bewegung "Faschismus" ist, inzwischen vorbei. Unsere Medien sollten die Dinge beim Namen nennen. Die Historikerin Annika Brockschmidt listet etliche Kennzeichen von Faschismus auf, und wie sie auf Trump zutreffen.
