Many items in cocktails also have long shelf lives after opening or are cheap/move quickly.

This is why I think we see variations on actual cocktails so much...you have it, it's open, so move it.

Is this coming from experience or are you just kind of guessing? There are plenty of cocktails that use non-shelf stable stuff that you can get anywhere. On top of that, the new movement towards providing non-alcoholic drinks on the menu just reuses these same ingredients in different ways.

I feel like this joke would have landed better 5, or maybe even 3 years ago. Every even remotely fancy restaurant I go into has jumped on the mocktail bandwagon and offers plenty of options for people avoiding alcohol.

The other poster is either speaking from a place of ignorance, as they've never really used it, of they just aren't smart enough to learn how to use a new tool.

As much as middle management sucks, devs blaming management for their own inability to learn is almost on the same level.

I was lucky enough to get in on my company's beta test for copilot.

When I hear people say it's bad, all that tells me is that they are either completely ignorant and have never really used it, or they aren't good at learning how to use new tools.

Please expand.

(edit: lol downvotes but no explanation. That's because if they actually read the article, the problem they are talking about is really not all that big of a deal)

I've worked in a few places, all with senior engineers, including myself as a senior engineer, all of which the senior engineers spent most of their time actually engineering. If I went somewhere as a senior and was told I was going to be in meetings all day, I would quit because that's management, not engineering.

We do standups twice a week. At worst they run a half hour for my team of about 10 people. Usually we're done in 15-20 minutes. Please tell me it's just an absolutely made up joke that you have an hour and 15 minutes of stand up meetings every day. I would shoot myself.
