I consider the author of the article to be “relatively new to software development” if this is their first time to have had an Enterprise company abandon years of their work and have their repo archived and/or deleted.

AI has already digitized these videos a countless number of times why are we slow to implement this as an algorithm into the genetic code of a fish which we may then stick into our ear to perform any spoken translation to us.

We will probably have similar for eyeballs one day but they may be more invasive.

Brave is great and I love the nonsense it blocks. I wouldn’t recommend it for non-technical users however as Brave features may disable certain websites which may be confusing to the end user.

An example is I logged into a telecommunications provider to pay a bill. Because of all the tracking BS integrated with their site I wasn’t able to view or pay that bill and only after looking into the Network tab in dev tools was it clear to me why.

are you OK to wear closed-can earphones? If so one of my tricks is:

1) put in silicone earplugs

2) wear noise cancelling headphones (Sennheiser seems good to me)

3) crank your music at 30% louder than you would normally

this is quite a significant outage and has been ongoing for over six hours now.

would love to see a tech write up or blog post or even a Twitter hint but there seems to be absolutely zero transparency.

I suggest a read (or re-read) of the Tao of programming which has insight relating to understanding corporate goings on:

https://www.mit.edu/~xela/tao.html

May you find peace in book 7 which includes…

In the East there is a shark which is larger than all other fish. It changes into a bird whose wings are like clouds filling the sky. When this bird moves across the land, it brings a message from Corporate Headquarters. This message it drops into the midst of the programmers, like a seagull making its mark upon the beach. Then the bird mounts on the wind and, with the blue sky at its back, returns home.

The novice programmer stares in wonder at the bird, for he understands it not. The average programmer dreads the coming of the bird, for he fears its message. The Master Programmer continues to work at his terminal, unaware that the bird has come and gone.
