Did you wash one ear and not the other?
Or did you sleep on one side on a sweaty night?

I feel like you are forgetting QCD, where they actually added a splash of colour to change the mood of the reader.

Maybe Boeing will learn from their mistakes and go for using their relatives as leverage or tarnishing their reputation by framing them with treason instead.

On the contrary, it (the website) looks really nice.

The product, on the other hand, seems targeted towards "normies" and would probably do better in a place that doesn't have ppl already self hosting their stuff.

People do the designing and architecture and programming just because it all pays well, not because they have a love for the craft.

True.
I like programming and tend to pride myself in making good code, but when I see other's attitude at work, it makes me reevaluate what I care about.

Perhaps this is the reason of the memetic difference between corporate code quality vs OSS code quality. When I contribute to Open Source (at least to other's projects), I see myself try to be as considerate as possible of multiple factors that I wouldn't even care of at work.

One of my previous employers once told me (abridged)

It's not like old times when we could slowly work to get a perfect result.
Nowadays, we need perfect results, fast.

They were asking me to do technical content writing for their website.
I quickly realised that it's actually the threshold for calling something "perfect", that has lowered over time.

Clearly, I was not fit for that work, because instead of just plagiarising and paraphrasing stuff from other websites, I insisted on reading up on material from multiple sources, understanding it well and then writing it down myself. That makes it pretty slow.

That was a year before ChatGPT, or I would just have used that thingy.

That reminds me of a person telling me that a screenshot of an email was fake, when I, myself had taken said screenshot.

I only had to play an hour of "Thief" to thank myself I don't have door knobs.
