This confirms my theory that Elon is such a cheapass. He won’t pay for porn, but he’ll jack it to whatever’s in the S3 folder. Regardless of how it got there.

Get us additional hours for unit and behavioral testing, assessing and tackling technical debt, and so on.

Hey I can relate. I miss the office too. I was far more productive there and the cooperation and mental space was better there too. But this is a new world we live in, and if you want me to drive to an office, you had better be ready to pay me a fair salary for it.

Oh, you won’t? Guess I’ll go elsewhere.

We’re getting awfully close to another World War given ongoing affairs in Ukraine and the Middle East…
