I wish I could find the article, but when Musk first started breaking shit and locking everything down, local meteorological accounts realized people could start missing important public information like tsunami and earthquake warnings, and they had no other way to reach the public than through Twitter.
Twitter being accessible only via direct links to tweets is still not an acceptable solution, because how would I know what the URL is for the latest Icelandic volcano warning (for example)?
Of course he does, he quotes Marcus Aurelius in his profile. May as well just block him and move on.
Yikes.
Your comment is entirely fact-free, it's almost impressive. There's no point refuting anything because it's clear nothing will change your mind, and I don't have to anyway because it's all been dismantled piece by piece already.

I know it's hard to admit you've gambled big on a losing horse, but the solution is not to gamble bigger, it's to quit gambling.
Edited links for clarity.
people who don’t understand technology always seem to do this. They did it with Crypto, did it with NFTs

If they're smart they'll call it the Switch 64.
I doubt they deprioritize websites, but if they over-prioritize sites that conform to their SEO guidelines and host their ads, then the net effect is the same.
And I don’t see why a quality website wouldn’t keep a viewer on site as long as a poor quality website.
Say you ask a question looking for a definitive answer (meaning it's a question that has one). You find a website that tells you that answer right up front. No fluff, no scrolling, no ads, you're in, you're out. You find another site loaded with a introduction that talks a lot and says little, then you scroll past some ads, then you find another paragraph of text, and somewhere buried in between wishy washy word salad, you find your answer.
To Google, the second website is better, because you were "engaged" for a longer amount of time, and maybe you clicked their ad as you scrolled. That page is gonna rank higher in their results. The former page, by consequence, is gonna come second.
Now let's say you have 10 websites like the latter, and 1 like the former. What rank is the former website gonna come in Google search?
And fuck the rest of the world?
Where do you think every website in the entire world is hosted? It's America, obviously. We're the only country with a Constitution after all!
You are making it sound like it’s a fault of managers and coworkers
Sorry, that's not what I intended to imply. OP would definitely be the antagonist in that situation, I was trying to give them useful advice so they could avoid being that, and leave my own opinions at the door. "Cowboy Coder" is definitely what I'm going to call that behavior from now on though lol.
When I started working I went in with a plan to upgrade and modernize everything I touch. I still believe that to be the case, or like… my “purpose”(as an employee not a person).
I mean this with as much respect to you OP as I can possibly put into words, and if your therapist has already touched on this, absolutely ignore everything I say and listen to them.
I have been both been this person and dealt with this person. Believe me when I say that this behavior engenders little love from management and coworkers alike. You can quickly gain a bad reputation by trying to modernize everything you see. That reputation can be (meanly) described many different ways, from try-hard to kiss-ass.
Don't let your career suffer for this. There are few reasons to risk your reputation, your chance at promotion, the goodwill of your peers, and more: "using the latest and greatest" is not one of those reasons. Sometimes, following the crowd is fine.
Springboot apps, create-react-apps, codebases in c and c++, no kubernetes, little to no cloud.
Now, speaking as a developer instead of an armchair psychoanalyst, I don't see why these traits or lack thereof make for bad software. Nor does it make you a lesser developer for working with them. It entirely depends on your industry, the applications, the users, security interests, available recruitable talent, and many more factors.
As true now as it was then.
Yeah, looks like the default “word_wordnumbers” usernames that reddit gives you if don’t change them.
This change is when I knew Reddit was going down the shitter. Automatically handing out default usernames instead of requiring you to pick your own. The only people that could possibly help are a) people with absolutely no imagination whatsoever, b) bots, and c) people making a dozen alts to puff up their main.
I wish network effects weren't a self fulfilling prophecy.
