“Shift left” by doing all the work yourself

Plan, design, code, test, debug, deploy, handle incidents, it’s all your job!

Why the fuck is the media suppressing them?

I think they were mostly just desperate for people who could do the job and wouldn’t quit within a month. I always got my work done, but I learned I’m not cut out for customer service.

Used to work a chain coffee shop. Had a closing shift by myself, but would randomly get slammed with large groups of people. On occasion when customers were rude to me while I was trying to do everything on my own, I just snapped and swore at them and gave them the finger. I thought I was going to get fired when word got back to my manager, but all I ever got were raises and eventually promoted to assistant manager.

Bro, I worked for a company that literally offered us and non-technical staff a coding boot camp. I asked if I could be promoted if I did the boot camp since they were offering it to people a level above me. I already knew everything in the boot camp, as did everyone I worked with. They refused. But, then they also laid my team and I off a month later and some how kept all the people that did the boot camp. It made no damn sense. It’s like the higher ups had no idea what a boot camp was, but thought it would be cutting edge and innovative if it was offered. They were clueless. Meanwhile, they cut everyone with those skills.

I think you’re missing that we are being deeply manipulated by hoards of foreign influence campaigns. Social media has exploded propaganda in the US and divided the population. Some of this propaganda also comes from internal sources.

The problem is these people solved some novel problem in the world with their programming skills and it made them really rich. They have been lavished with praise, money, and attention their entire lives. They think they’re smart and that gives them license to invite themselves into other areas that they have no experience in. An example is obviously Elon Musk wading in to government, but even back during Covid he was making predictions about the spread of the disease, even though he has no background in medical science. His predictions were wildly wrong. Marc Andreessen is no different, and it doesn’t help that he literally looks like a cone head.

I won’t lose sleep over it

Please make a version with Elon Musk

Absence of government; the state of society where there is no law or supreme power; a state of lawlessness; political confusion

Whatever you’re arguing for, I’d suggest using another word

Absence of government; the state of society where there is no law or supreme power; a state of lawlessness; political confusion.

What makes me think that is an anarchist community eschews political organization. There would be no way to arrange a competent defense.

Similar thoughts, trying to decide where to go

What is anarchy then? Is it not some state in which everyone agrees not to take power?

Correct. So, what happens when you have, as you say, pure anarchy without rulers and then some folks interested in power notice that you have no organized way to defend yourself? They take the power easily. These people are often warlords. That’s why anarchy is so closely associated with such things, because anarchy is a power vacuum. That vacuum is easily filled. The most rudimentary thing that can fill it are warlords.

I don’t even understand the point you’re trying to make.

Why are they a myth?

? No, power vacuums can exist and are quickly filled by any group with a modicum of power. Look at ISIS. The US deposed the Iraqi government. The new government was weak and those with a stockpile of weapons and funding from other interested countries quickly swept in and took control of large swaths of territory. They also took territory in Syria after the Arab Spring put Assad on his back foot, unable to maintain power in the east.

No we’re talking about definitions. You’re advocating for anarchy being a viable state for humankind, I’m saying practically you can’t enforce or defend its existence without turning it in to something that it is not by definition. It is practically impossible to defend a state of anarchy as it will and always has been overpowered by a more organized, hierarchical force.

Oh okay, thanks for that enlightening response.
