You cherry picked his argument and left out the rest where he states China's as cheaper standards of environmental "friendliness"

• You will spend your entire career chasing trends.

Depends on the language, that's mostly a JavaScript/typescript issue.

• The market is volatile. People are constantly getting abruptly laid off. SD has never been very stable, so you should plan on getting a new job every few years.

Depends on the country, where I'm from there has been very few layoffs.

• Software companies are constantly looking for ways to make SD easier. As a result, your value will decrease over time, in preference for bootcampers and 2 year degree graduates.

Not sure what to say, I haven't felt my value decrease. All I see are bubbles saying they will replace me.. and then they burst.

Nobody listens to developers. Your manager's beliefs about SD come entirely from consultants, magazines, and Elon Musk tweets.

Agree but that's more of an engineering wide problem, specially when you get managers with very few engineering experience. Take the Apollo landings as an opposite example: great managers that were great engineers.

• Nobody cares about quality software. If you take the time to make your code efficient and lightweight, all your manager sees is you taking longer to make something than your peers. After all, we can just raise hardware requirements if the software is slow.

This is a bit too generic to argue against. You can get that in electrical engineering no? If you take more time designing that PCB because you want to better place the components to improve heat dissipation, will your manager care in the end?

Kind of. I agree partly. My mother used to knit winter clothes, for free, for some institutions and she wasn't the one delivering them. They never knew who she was, and she didn't bother.

Can you explain how a booster that flew 23 times is a loss when no other companies are doing it? I don't like Musk but people need to separate their views of him from SpaceX

I don't believe for a single instance that what he says is going to happen, this is just a play for funding... But if it were to happen I'm pretty sure most companies would hire anything that moves for those jobs. You have many examples of companies offloading essential parts of their products externally.

I've also seen companies hiring tourism graduates (et al non engineering related) giving them a 3/4 week programming course, slapping a "software engineer" sticker on them and off they are to work on products they have no experience to work on. Then it's up to senior engineers to handle all that crap.

So you're an asshole that also likes attention and confrontation

Sorry I'm not very eloquent and failed to explain myself:

What I see is that the requested "versions" don't match when the request is made through jellyseer vs when made directly from one of the Arr.

I first noticed this when requesting through jellyseer and I'd see a file with very few peers. Then I'd do an interactive search in the respective Arr (by hand) and there were much better candidates

I'll recheck but I think I have updated profiles

I'll use this topic to ask a question about jellyseer if you don't mind.

I have jellyfin, jellyseer and arr stack for my Linux ISOs. The issue is when one someone requests an ISO from jellyseer it never is the best choice in terms of peers. I can check this by doing interactive search on one of arr and seeing there was a better choice for the quality I setup. Perhaps I have some misconfiguration?

That's not a nice thing to say. When you grow up perhaps we can continue this discussion

Not sure about java, but I migrated a fairly big c++ project knowing only the basics of Bazel. Disclaimer: I know the codebase extremely well and we don't have any third party dependencies and the code is c++ and some python generators, validators, etc (which fits the bill for Bazel perfectly)

What I found super hard were toolchains. It's very verbose to define a toolchain

This was solved by moving to bazel. It's a bit more verbose and resource heavy, but the language is sane and how you structure your build code makes a lot of sense

I mean I get their feelings. Netflix et Al started with reasonable prices and then the greedy fuck heads raised the prices, so I bet Reddit would do it as well.
