  • We can’t rely on the assholes running these site to ban pedophiles. They’d endorse a pedophile president if they thought it would give them less taxes/regulations.

    This is a prudent move, we’ve only seen the very beginnings if the sorts of indoctrination and manipulation our kids might be subjected to.

    Never thought I’d sound this way, but i can no longer ignore reality.





  • Some easy tasks involve pumping out mounds of code/commits, some tasks involve monumental amounts of inter-department cooperation or design discussions with open source communities online or at yearly conferences and result in relatively small amounts of code especially in terms of LOC/day.

    This study purports to take this into account to some degree but i call bullshit. I can barely explain this level of nuance to anyone above my first-line manager everyone else is just like what’s taking so long can we throw an intern on it to speed things up? and its like sure… after you hire them full-time and spend the next couple years training them. Oh you want me to do it that too?

    The whole tone of this “researcher” makes the bias so clear but I’m sure we’ll have all kinds of fancy new monitoring and lay-offs of good people thanks to these sorts of bullshit metrics.

    If you want to know whether employees are a waste of space or not, hire good fucking managers that know what they are doing. If they farm that out to tools like this, it’s a good sign they don’t.
