Lethal company is literally just old school d&d tho

You go into dungeons, try to avoid all the monsters because they can kill you in one hit, get the treasure they protect and gold is xp.

I wish more people were aware of and as vocally critical of copyright laws as you.

I mean, if the error says "variable foo is not defined" I don't think it's wise to go "I'm pretty sure it's defined, the compiler is just wrong" 😂

I learned early in my software engineering career these two beautiful rules of debugging:

  1. Read all of the words
  2. Believe them

I've only known the "binary memory" version, eg. 1024 megabytes is 1 gigabyte is 1 gibibyte and little b meaning bits vs bytes (eg 1 bit vs 8 bits)

In a capitalist economy copyright is meant to protect people's livelihoods by ensuring they are compensated for their labor

Whose propaganda did you suck down blindly? Copyright is meant to foster and improve the commons and public domain, and only that. The goal of copyright is not "money" and monopolies, but that's what capitalism does to things designated as property.

The fact you can transfer and sell your copyright (because it's property in capitalism), it becomes a commodity to be bought and sold and traded. If copyright was not tradeable or transferable, we wouldn't be in in this situation where art is property to be owned.

Then steal from those corporations. It's not hard. Copyright and patents were to benefit the public domain, not anything or anyone else. It does not do that. The public domain has done nothing but perish as more and more "protection" has been applied. Now it is all intellectual "property" to be owned and measured and controlled and regulated, unless you opt out of it with open source.

We have tools like the GPL and AGPL. Corporations hate those. Turns out when you start giving away and "taking", everyone benefits. Open source hasn't made the world worse the more it's been growing — maybe choosing to forgo most protections of copyright and IP is actually good. Maybe.

If you have seniority and they are a junior, some juniors do respond well to a senior having more knowledge about the codebase. With them, it can be beneficial to use a tone like "We have library X that seems like it could do a lot of the functionality here, unless you already took a look?" I know it's like 90% of the same but I know people who will just be shellshocked and just blindly say "yes" to any question you ask them, and I don't want a blind "yes" I wanna know the truth :) it also lets then explain why they didn't use it if they have a legit reason because hey, maybe I'm the one who needs to be caught up
