The most unbelievable thing about this meme is that linux nerd has a hot cat girlfriend.
Srry but u are just as undatable as Typescript or react developers - they just gonna keep learning new frameworks that do exactly the same thing spending all the time they have while ignoring the hot gf until she just dumps you for some plumber.
As a new Linux convert nerd with a hot girlfriend it does happen.
Pic or it didn't happen.
I mean. How would I go about proving that. I'm currently just imagining the look on her face when I tell her we need to take a picture with my lemmy username in it so randoms on the internet believe I have a hot girlfriend. lol We go to the beach this weekend though. soooooo I'll leave it up to you to remind me to do this lol
"You wouldn't know her, she goes to another school".
😂 but but. She actually did. I swear!
Plumbers make bank.
Depends where
So do Linux nerds lol
Plumbers make bank, linux nerds make bank systems
This really grinds my gears especially when working with the junior devs. They are always preaching about this new hot library and tried to refactor the whole app based on this cool article written by some well known developer. When I asked about their reasoning behind the chance they're only able to link the blogpost made saying that X is bad and Y is the way going forward. I asked them what situation where they actually cannot solve an issue using X in a project and whether they can prove that using Y is the panacea for all of our woes, they all go silent.
Afterwards I always tell them it's fine to look for new ways to do things. But before you go to try to propose such a big change at least write some PoC demonstrating the strength of the new thing when they have some downtime.
agree 100%
have also noticed an uptick in "new is always better, those old ways are so dumb and they were so stupid" mindset.
not sure if this is directly part of the reason, but the upshot is you don't need to learn the fundamentals. you're protected from learning how things actually work, because there's always a bloaty house of cards chain of libraries to keep you separated from reality.
and of course its always easier to write off all of the fundamentals as 'pointless old garbage', than actually challenge yourself with any of it.
then you can enjoy a false sense of superiority, not because you overcame anything, but by never even trying.
"undefeated", not because you ever won, but because you never fought.
and its not the "kids these day's" fault. training institutions are corrupted by greedy suits, its all about the $$$s and pumping unprepared grads out at a blinding rate is more profitable (short term).
well i am the hot girlfriend and the linux nerd so idk what to tell you.. maybe it's your hygene
