Oh I have literally thought of this too. Maybe a bit more like Cops or if The Office was a real paper company office... but at a software company. So many fires to put out, so many blockers, so much drama between design / pm / dev / qa / execs, etc. Launch date blockers. Post-release hotfix nightmares. It could work

I remember asking a few weeks after the election if anyone at all was talking about it being rigged. It seemed at the time everyone just accepted the result. Only in the past month or so have I started seeing talk of it.

I mean humans are like 80% water so

I spent the better part of a year and a half writing automation for an integrated stack that included D365. (RSAT wasn't an option since we had to also interact with other systems and sql databases and what not to perform end-to-end flows across multiple systems.) It was literally the biggest resource and time suck of all the stuff we had to interact with -- and we had to interact with some really hoky stuff. But D365 took the cake. At least two people quit over it.

China: bears

I'm not about to @ people for having kids, but I have to say that in my experience, the whole idea is nothing but a conceit. People want kids for bad reasons. There's really no sensible reason to have a child in the human world. Fine, go have kids, but don't come back years later upset your kid is rebelling or not following your beliefs or doing bad things or not following in your footsteps or listening to your advice or whatever the fuck. You basically played a slot machine with no jackpot.

I'm pushing 50, fuck you.

Edit: I should mention, I had the same reaction as you at the same time.

"No you may not"

When I was a Disney employee (fuck you, Bob Iger) I had a pass that I could enter a Disney park any time I wanted.

Now, I don't really see what's so good about that unless you live in short distance to such a park, but it was still cool, and made for a cheap garden leave vaycay

If you like being on hold for 2 hours

Although lately I've been burned multiple times by inaccurate online information saying a place was open when it wasn't, so I've started to call ahead instead.

I mean, I think intelligence requires the ability to integrate new information into one's knowledge base. LLMs can't do that, they have to be trained on a fixed corpus.

Also, LLMs have a pretty shit-tastic track record of being able to differentiate correct data from bullshit, which is a pretty essential facet of intelligence IMO
