which is something they care deeply about.

They care about quarterly profits. Preventing fuckups of this scale requires long-term effort which is not profitable by itself, it only prevents possible future fuckups, and this is why proper QC etc. aren’t done. Short term profits over everything else.

Well, if the executive leech class wants workers to have bossware, there’s not all that much people can do about it. Can’t just decide to not use it if your employer demands it

In fact, that guy might die “resisting arrest” face down on the ground with his hands handcuffed behind his back and a knee to the neck

Coincidentally this is pretty much the diagnosed ADHD starter pack as well

remora fish.

So in case somebody else here doesn’t know squat about remoras, I went on Wikipedia and found out that they’re fish that attach themselves to a host animal in a mutualistic arrangement. They remove ectoparasites and loose flakes of skin etc, and their diet is mainly composed of the host animal’s shit.

Certainly not! Or other industries for that matter. It’s a good thing executives everywhere aren’t just concentrating on squeezing the maximum amount of money out of their companies and funneling it to themselves and their buddies on the board.

Sure, let’s “rightsize” the company by firing 20% of our workforce (but not management!) and raise prices 30%, and demand that the remaining employees maintain productivity at the level it used to be before we fucked things up. Oh and no raises for the plebs, we can’t afford it. Maybe a pizza party? One slice per employee though.

Not sure how this one slipped through.

I’d bet my ass this was caused by terrible practices brought on by suits demanding more “efficient” releases.

“Why do we do so much testing before releases? Have we ever had any problems before? We’re wasting so much time that I might not even be able to buy another yacht this year”

I just can’t bring myself to be excited about this. The trailers have made it look like yet another action-packed monster movie with forgettable characters and in which ultimately nothing very interesting really happens, but there’ll be a lot of ooh aah special effects for sure.

Where am I being thick? What do you think I’m not understanding?

I don’t understand your objection to anything I’m saying.
