  • You cannot act like voting does nothing after Brazil

    There is a revolution happening in the usa, its just not a violent revolution. We’ve got openly socialist candidates beating corporate dems in the primaries and poised to beat their republican opposition tomorrow. We’ve got Mamdani showing the country that politicians can get things done and make your life better; the only thing stopping them is lack of effort 99% of the time. Grassroots campaigns are winning or leading in polls despite being outspent like 12/1. There are so many people working everyday to make change happen in this country and they’re succeeding and improving people’s lives piece by piece

    We do not want a violent revolution. You may imagine a violent revolution as the people taking up arms, marching against the dictator and oligarchs, taking them out, taking back power, and establishing a good democratic government. Historically, this is not what happens. Historically, violent revolutions tend to turn neighbor against neighbor and result in a lot of regular people getting killed and a new authoritarian regime being created. Now look, I don’t really like trump supporters but I don’t want them to die. I don’t want anyone to die. I want this country to take care of its people, even the people that vote against their own interests just to harm others

    Change is happening. We’ve got so many reasons to be optimistic and so much work left to do. So start with voting tomorrow and then get involved at the local level. See the change for yourself





  • Yeah as much as I hate llms, I know they can be useful for programmers that know what they’re doing. But that’s the key. New programmers still need to learn and do their time actually writing code so that when the machine does something wrong they can spot it and fix it, even if its a rare occurrence. That also means senior devs need to keep their skills sharp too

    Theoretically since op can work more effecientky now, they should be able to work less (fewer hourd) for the same amount of money and output. That’s what they always promise with new technological advancements. It never seems to actually happen though. Instead it usually means more on the to-do list since you can do things faster or fewer people on payroll bc you can do the work of multiple people
