In my opinion, if I want to install any work-related software on my personal devices, it means I’m so excited about the job that I honestly don’t care whether a manager sees where and what I’m doing - just as a manager usually doesn’t care either. I mean, there’s no reason at all to install anything on personal devices unless you actually care about the business.

I am a huge fan of SmartOS. Back in the 2010s (around 2012), I was advocating its use in production at a small startup I worked. The SunOS kernel, ZFS, zero install, immutable core, convenient way to manage containers and VMs together - all of this looked great on paper, especially containers.

In reality, I ended up running almost everything in VMs. The only thing worked well natively was nginx. MongoDB, Mysql, even our php backend (some libraries) had issues, unfortunately.

A year ago, I considered SmartOS again as a home lab driver, and no success again, Linux just has better support: drivers, pci passthrough, etc... and now with containers+vm through Proxmox or anything else. You can even run a k8s+kubevirt with zfs practically out of the box as a complete overkill though.

Damn, people, what's the deal with the em dash? You only learned about this stuff now? Back in the 00s I had a design course as part of my main program, and guess what — yeah, we actually studied when to use which: dash, minus, em dash, whatever. That stuff was crucial back then; it was one of those tiny details that separated a “professional” from the average crowd.

So yeah, nothing magical here. AIs just picked up that old “academic-only” knowledge and now use it to… well, to look a bit less average. Lol.

Don’t get me wrong, but what’s the problem with scrapers? People invest in SEO to become more visible, yet at the same time they fight against “scraper bots.” I’ve always thought the whole point of publicly available information is to be visible. If you want to make money, just put it behind a paywall. Isn’t that the idea?

Hell yeah. I was honestly pretty surprised by this reaction here. On one hand, I can agree with the argument about focusing on strategy rather than coding — it makes sense. But on the other hand, I’m personally so tired of all this management bullshit out there, where the higher-ups have no idea about even the high-level technical abstractions of what’s going on under the hood in the projects they’re leading. Just imagine the level of incompetence when a Staff Engineer can mislead a Project Owner about the complexity of implementing simple pagination — and the POs and PMs are totally fine with it, like, “let’s just postpone it.” Hell yeah.

For what purposes, may I ask? For privacy? For illegal stuff? For what? To be invisible you have to be ordinary. Ditching smartphone in this extreme way is completely opposite.

And what people in western, democratic world think about it? That this is just fine? I live in autocratic, almost dictatorship regime country and for the past 100 years we've just gotten used to the idea that we don't have any rules here. But I thought in EU and US things are different. All these news stories about Control, UK surveillance, age verification, all this stuff with no significant reaction baffle me.
