You can make another first-level reply with your masterwork and I'll vote it up as well. There's enough revulsion in me for the way things are going that infinite up-voting is called for!

I personally don't know of anyone that uses Microsoft products anymore (outside of my work), except maybe the Windows OS. They ALL use Google products.
The entire school district where I live uses Google Classroom and all the Google software products (Docs, sheets, etc..).

This first official preview includes several highly requested new features, bug fixes, and most importantly it includes massive performance improvements to the MVVM Toolkit source generators, to make the developer UX when using them even in very large solutions, better than ever! It takes a community to develop .NET toolkits

Does anyone use the .NET Community Toolkit? If so, I'd be curious how and why.

Ditto, also curious.

A few weeks ago I made tech lead, a type of staff engineer. Here are my thoughts on what that means, how it happened, and why you'd want such a thing. All the grief, none of the power

Quote: Staff engineer is a fairly new position in the industry. I've only started seeing the title in the past 5 to 7 years. The level fills a spot between senior and principal. Books and resources focused on this career path have started appearing in the past 2 to 3 years.
A previous employer was using it at least as far back as '05. It was the third of five levels for regular technical staff (towards the end of my time there they added 2 more levels on top to make PHDs feel special 🙄). It roughly corresponded to 5+ years of experience but still an individual contributor. Senior was 4th and about 10 years and a tech lead/pre management or 20+ and still hands on; not 2 years and no longer needing to have the drool wiped off their chin as seems to be the case with a lot of places with job title inflation these days.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

After Twitter Inc laid off roughly half its staff on Friday following Elon Musk's $44 billion acquisition, the company is now reaching out to dozens of employees who lost their jobs and asking them to return, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday. "You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around"

If I were one of them my answer would be:
- Either ..i.
- or ask for a big raise and then come back, get the check and start looking for another thing.

I'd go back and do the absolute minimum to keep from getting fired before February. At the same time my focus would be finding another job.

My suggested reply for those people would be:
"My contracting rate is $500 per hour. 140 hours minimum contract length. Maximum of 8 hours per day and 35 hours per week. I have to keep some room in my schedule to find a new permanent job after all.  "
And yes, I would keep the part about looking for a new job there as an additional explicit ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) you to the First Meme Lord of the Internet and Grand High Twidiot (on top of the contractual work/life balance, something he abhors the idea of his employees having).
Although with the holidays coming and hiring slowing to a crawl during them, a 2 or 3 month minimum duration might have some merit.

To the chagrin of Nvidia and its CEO, one of its AIB partners, Manli, has built the world's first GeForce RTX 4090 blower-style graphics card with no repercussions. Shoot some aliens, mint some bitcoin, render some AI art, and heat your home. All in one!

People will often claim that since X is Free and Open Source Software, every user of X is enabled to hack on it and bend it to their will. Just because you can compile it yourself, doesn't mean you can compile it yourself

Quote: A true definition of free software would also include the freedom from tinkering with source code. A truly free program would be designed from the ground up with customizability and extensibility in mind, through an interface accessible to regular users, not just developers.
Sounds like a framework! I try to do that but have no illusions about always being extensible enough.
Quote: A truly free program would be independently audited for security and privacy.
Yet still free! Comes with rainbows and unicorns too.

This definition fails MISERABLY when dealing with projects like Blender. I am so frikkin' glad that program is free! Of course, the author of this fluff piece is free to build a framework around Blender. How many man-years would that take right now?

The Free and Open Software guys have for at least 25 years chanted their mantra: 'Free', not as in 'free beer' but as in 'free speech'.
Your praise of Blender as free is 'free as in free beer' - unless I completely misunderstand what you are saying.

I was saying that the article author was keeping too narrow of a focus. In his definition Blender isn't 'free.' I challenge him to make it 'free' by his definition. It is huge, and ever-expanding, and would take him forever to accomplish his 'freedom' version. I say it is 'free' as it is. He would have to be a slave to make it 'free.'
