All the confluence hate speaks to my soul. It's where ideas go to die. If you want to start a successful internal project and someone tells you to start documenting your ideas there, you might as well just move on to something else. Whatever you were going to do is already dead. It's just so ignorable. Nobody gives a shit about a confluence doc. Write up your thoughts and send it as an email to your boss, your peers, whoever. That demands a response and you'll get one, for good or ill! Getting outright rejected is still better than the sad withering away that is putting it into confluence. Anyways, what's the most common signal that people hate confluence? When they use it as a link repository to docs stored elsewhere.

Everything turning into an edit action when I just want to click a link or copy a bit of text is super annoying! Also is thinking you're in a text field, typing out something and realizing you've done a whole bunch of random actions because of all the hotkeys.

Who owns repo? The author has a right to package code, but he doesn't want have the right to use other people's platforms to distribute it. This is a lot like twitter bans isn't it?

The GCP admin console is painfully slow and yet is still somehow faster than the new Google Ads UI.

Totally. This is a exactly what I was thinking about yesterday in the thread where someone was asking if Google results were getting worse.

There's no reason the official docs for Python should be lower in the results than a shitty docs clone / spam site when searching for a common package/function in the standard library.

Immersion provides the strongest motivation to learn and to try. When you want something or have a problem that needs to be solved and the other party doesn't speak English, you're going to be very motivated. The 'dopamine hit' from getting it right and communicating successfully in another language is also way better than from an app/game. The results are just so much more real and tangible.

Similar to company scrip, this reminds me of "Charles Robin and Company" from the Gaspé region of Canada. The company was an exporter of fish that abused its monopoly position in the market. Fishermen were independent businesses but Robin's company was both buying the fishermens' catch (thus setting its price) and also the mortgage lender for the fishing boats (so they controlled their debt too).

Would it be wrong to characterize the WE charity as a "self licking ice cream cone"?
