It is very unfortunate that compilers have become involved in this "outputting a program" business.

Imagine having companies that robs people of their agency, of the infos necessary to understand their context, puts them in a dependent situation, and then complain that they behave as teenagers.

These sort of teams remind me of surly teenagers who want to be "treated like adults" while completely dismissing all the work their parents do looking after them (cooking, cleaning, driving them places, giving them money).

"Suite aux rumeurs dégradantes qu'un certain milieu répand à mon propos, je tiens à rétablir les faits : -Je n'ai pas plus de deux-cent ans, - Je n'ai donc en aucun cas pu être témoin de la bataille de Waterloo, qui était de toute façon beaucoup trop bruyante à mon goût."

The main issue with event sourcing is that no matter what line of business you're modeling, there's always someone business-side for which "event" means something. And so you spend endless time clarifying words in team discussions.

A chaque fois que je me dis que je vais bosser en TGV, je passe le voyage à regarder par la fenêtre, admirant les paysages, me demandant comment les gens vivent dedans.

Là, je passe dans un drôle de pays, où la pente est raide à perte de vue. Il y a pour les habitants un paysage grandiose. Mais si ils se retournent, une montée si raide qu'on les croit condamnés à la claustrophobie ou au torticolis.

La sécu doit se féliciter d'avoir des administrés plantés dans de si robustes collines, parce que chaque trajet à la boulangerie doit valoir une bonne séance de cardio.
I still don't get why people like chatbots. They're like CLIs, but with no man, no --help and randomly kicking you out of your session. I would prefer a customer support to record a message telling me they don't care, at least I wouldn't be wasting my time.

Yesterday: "my internet friend has become a servant of Evil Lord" Today: "Those tech workers could starve if they don't pick that unethical job" I don't even know who it's about. I'm now picturing a SV billionnaire living paycheck-to-payckeck by seasoning babies in a fast-food.

We now have a weekly session of group documentation for our infrastructure team. The goal is to re-discover the platform, and write down what we used/saw.

Today's session was on our Rundeck instance. Things written down include: * how to find the passwords * where the instances are * what manual tasks can be necessary and how to do it * who uses it and how
