Anyone who labels themselves as Alpha Male has some serious insecurities. But it lines up with the use of Alpha in software releases.
Alpha releases are often unstable, not to be trusted in a real world environment, full of bugs and security issues, & crash often.
Sounds right

Octavia Butler told me one of the failures of sci-fi /fantasy was its inability to imagine the alien other as anything different from a human form "with a mask on." I rate sci-fi on that basis to this day. Yes. I knew her. Yes. She was exceptional.

People are starting to say Elon Musk isn't actually a real engineer. But he definitely said "I don't know why people think Twitter is so complicated. I could fix it in like a weekend." And then proceeded to fuck everything up. That's exactly like an engineer.

Choosing what to eat always feels so overwhelming, so I end up eating the same exact lunch for months at a time.
(until the fateful day where that particular meal is DEAD TO ME and I start anew)

My teenage brother’s coding teacher is telling them to keep variable names short - 1-2 characters, to make their code shorter and save space.
If you teach, please don’t do this.
Im trying to undo the damage now.
