If your team is only focused on tabs/spaces or soapboxing during code reviews, you have bigger issues to take care of.

Spreading knowledge and context sharing are exactly why I like code reviews. It should also be something done by more than one person so that information is better disseminated throughout the team.

I find most bad codebases exist because of a culture that isn't focused on quality, and I'm not talking about bug counts or code coverage. Clean codebases stay clean by being proactive about keeping them clean. This should include meticulous peer reviews, establishing design patterns, enforcing best practices, and taking initiative to leave things better than you found them (we used to call that boy scouting).

If your teams PR comments only contain LGTM, and the average time spent reviewing them is 5 minutes, your team isn't focused on quality. If a PR contains more files than an average person can keep in their mental context window, it won't get the attention it needs to be properly reviewed. If there is no accountability to keep a clean codebase, you'll end up with 2 hours of work taking 5 days to complete.

Not that it's Linux fault, but access to and compatibility with popular creative tools like Ableton or Adobe products.

Sure, it's feasible to use Wine to run these products, but not in any professionally usable manner.

Yes, I am aware there are Linux-friendly alternatives, but they lack the plugins, compatibility, features, and quality of their industry~standard counterparts.

I have a decent library filled with authors like Palahniuk, Ryu and Haruki Murakami, Vonnegut, P. K. Dick, and Thompson.

I'm looking for more modern/contemporary authors who share that absurdism, surrealism, and just plain weirdness.

In the mid 10s, I worked as the engineering director for a consultancy. My boss would openly brag about being able to hire women for a fraction of the cost of a man. I was so offended by this that I created a partnership with a coding academy for at-risk and underrepresented individuals just a few blocks away from our office. I made it my mission to hire as many women junior engineers as I could, just so that I could train them up and find them better paying jobs elsewhere.

Women engineers are out there, and I hope I've made the dating pool just a little bigger for you.

Howdy-do, fellow minute-man!

If your dick can't do the walking, let your tongue do the talking.

I have been laid off from every job (5 in total) since the pandemic. We are a subhuman commodity. Companies that are hiring now are exploiting the market by offering lower salaries.

Meta and Amazon are in their hiring season and they'll start their layoffs again next spring or summer. And somehow, everyone forgets this fucked up cycle keeps happening in perpetuum.

We need to stop being afraid of mentioning the U word. We need better protection and rights as employees.

Engineering is a skilled trade. We need our own union like every other skilled labor group.

There are only 3 reasons employers force RTO: control, real estate, impending RIFs.
