IDK about “white knight”; I first heard the phrase “dangerous by default” from a black man recounting how he got nervous being on an elevator with a white woman.

“Dangerous by default” is one hell of a thing to internalize 😞

Regardless of the team size, I say simplify as much as you can so you can dedicate your resources customizing what makes their business special. You mentioned a PBX system and no infrastructure, this makes me think you talking about Customer Management. It sounds like you’re documenting as you go, fantastic. Maybe loop in a noob time to time to review the documentation or have a Q&A that reifies the docs. Best of luck!

I think a concern for the business is whether other people can help maintain the system. As such don’t go too custom and roll your own. Take things like nextcloud and see if you can fit the requirements by bolting on a few docker services. Keep it simple by using “appliances” where it makes sense (dedicated NAS?).

We’re cooked because our leaders are pumping the AI bubble while crashing the rest of the economy. When that bubble pops those programmers are going to have to find a job in a nuclear sized crater of where the economy used to be.

I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar

It’s not a conspiracy, it is just the path of least resistance. Which is why capitalism is the problem.

My TikTok feed is rather radical, which is a non+option on all the other corporate platforms.

The contradictory belief that voters who backed Trump are too stupid to understand what they voted for, but nevertheless deserve pain

This so much. The “voters are too stupid” narrative defangs any attempt to talk about how our systems misinform (or don’t inform) voters.

The badge lets others know you’re a masochistic

It’s a perfect commodity, which means it’s going to be worth the least out of anything out there.

They mentioned sustained pamphleting, that sounds interesting. Anyone got some examples on hand?

Ahh yes, efficiency to “improve the … stewardship of taxpayer dollars”. So instead of actually delivering better services, they can more efficiently deny those services. Sound familiar?

This might be a good fit for a side project I’m cooking up. I am planning on using DBT but I like how this is more dynamic. How does this compare to DBT? Can it turn CTE into views?

Another feature I am hunting for is something that parses the SQL query and produces a pydantic model.

This fucker is old enough to remember the good ole days of iron lungs.

There’s a difference between being annoying online and being hated because you think Scrooge McDuck wasn’t greedy enough. No one is going to ice you for having bad tales on the Internet.

Real. I don’t think the average American can correctly identify the oligarch culprits in most cases, this is the exception.
