    the oh so well kept secret of the software and services (surrounding it) industry that people seem to think is worth paying money for.

    Yet time after time these paid software companies produce the most vile awful, dysfunctional, and garbage software (and services) that have ever been created. While somehow a group of people who aren’t being paid, and aren’t doing this for any sort of reason other than “why not” manage to create the most functional software ever, while also managing to somehow catch the single biggest potential software vulnerability in this decade (other than wannacry) purely because ssh has slightly sus behaviors when running the infected payload.

    Please stop doing web dev, it isn’t real.

      Please stop doing web dev, it isn’t real.

      So, let me guess. Web dev isn’t “real” but Linux kernel dev is VERY real?

      I mean, I don’t take issue with what SEEMS like your base case: Capitalism is crap and money is a silly game we all play, but what I’m reading / understanding from your statement is that the millions of people sending E-mail, writing documents, and managing spreasheets using web based applications aren’t doing “real” work as well?

      Not arguing, just desperately struggling to understand where you’re coming from and what you’re trying to say in concrete terms.

        linux kernel dev is wild, have you ever seen the mailing list when linus shows up?

        To be clear, i’m mostly shitposting, it’s not that serious. But also, web dev produces the most routinely garbage crap and frankly unusable code half of the time, with the other half of the time being moderately usable. There is no good to come from this industry for quite some time.
