I'm with you on the point that (mental) healthcare should be affordable and accessible. Drug use however isn't the problem, but merely a symptom as well. Figure out why people turn to drugs, solve the underlying issue (generally mental health related), and the drug issue is gone.

Once tried to stop a small aircraft from rolling against a car. Upon impact the vibration in the wing knocked me over.

Next time I'll let it crash and enjoy the show.

Before the largest things on the horizon were trees and perhaps the odd church or water tower. These windmills tower over anything there is on the countryside.

The point I'm trying to make here is that our definition of tall has significantly shifted over the last 20/30 years. E.g. windmill 5km away is visually still twice as high as the church tower which is 500 meters away from you.

Oh yeah absolutely. The quickest way to get something done is to monkey patch another process instead.

I'm scared. To have 600+ tabs open like this...

This is me.

I would say I'm a fairly proficient dev overall, though on this one project I had to work the frontend. It was shit. Everything was shit.

The backend was a steaming pile of crap, and all of the implications of terrible design decisions were offloaded to the frontend. The frontend became the source of every single delay as it was where all crap started to surface. They were ignoring it, so besides frontend communication was also crap. Eventually, in line with ignoring all other issues, they sacked me.

Long story short, backend devs: treat your FE devs well.

Wait wasn't this the premise of FarCry 6?

Ah yes rusted down cybertrucks on the road. That's more like the dystopian future I imagined.

Most modern software is way too complex for what it actually does.

Am I the only one thinking these trust tokens are not going to prevent bots from scraping websites?

Eventually, somewhere, someone will just develop the infrastructure to work their way around this, right?
