I want all software developers to be paid 40,000$ per year to work on whatever
open source software they want and I'm not even kidding
60,000$ if you have a degree

Kinda pissed that all the software developer jobs pay so much. I'd gladly
write code or program for 40k a year and yet it's impossible to find a job
because how expensive (read: competitive) the industry is.

Okay how about this, for starters? Jobs can no longer ask for degrees, instead
they must rely on certifications. In addition, everyone who has completed a
degree receives money every month in exchange for their increased value they
bring to whichever job hires them. This money is sourced from a tax taken on
businesses in rough proportion to the amount of money they save by paying
their employees the same amount, no matter their education.

everyone's all like "why would you spend so much effort writing that software
in a distributed way when it works so well in a centralized manner" and the
answer is because you never know when you're going to need to train an LLM on
like, 400 raspberry pi's or calculate the velocity of an unladen swallow as it
circles a black hole the size of mercury or whatever physicists do in their
spare time

If your work is organized for mass-market appeal, it means you want everyone
to read it.
If your work is scattered and distracted, then only the sage would learn from
it. So speak your mind, and let the words flow forth.

I think all software should have config files
or accept as many command line arguments as necessary to achieve all the
functionality of a config file without requiring a standardized setup
or accept a config file as a command line argument, to allow for multiple
different implementations
or whatever you can throw together in your spare time because software is
either open source or it hates you.

forever... until needs chagne of course.

If you want to design a society, first learn how to build a decentralized
scalable multiprocessor computer program.
It could literally flip bits, the point is to practice architecture not
accomplish a goal.

Wikipedia would make a lot more sense to me if they included pictures next to
the names of every proper noun so that my pictorally oriented primate brain
might pattern match meaning onto the visual understandings gleaned from the
perceptual conceiving which were arrayed within and alongside the textual
information presented to me.

trusting the "open source community" to properly vett software is absurd
because 90% of them just... install whatever and throw libraries and
frameworks at problems until they can script their way out of whatever problem
they face.
the other 10% are focused on very specific tools that are so niche that other
people can't even understand when to *use* them much less how they work.

look, I just want to live in a world where people can sell a hand-knit sweater
for thousands of dollars to someone who bought it for 50$. Is it so odd that
"supply and demand" can be measured differently on the "supply" and "demand"
side?
