Screensaver?

Made me write SQL updates that had to be run by someone in a different state with pretty much no knowledge of SQL.

Unsubscribe me at once, you scoundrels!

Optimization feels a lot less optimal when it leads to enshittification. I have worked on the tech side of accounting systems in the US for the last 10 years and can say that American companies have largely embraced this category of innovation as well.

I'm living the inverse of your experience right now. Just started a new job that requires 3 days in the office after having worked several years fully remote. I sit next to a full wall-length window and yet am being battered by soul-crushing overhead fluorescents. Time to figure out where the controls to the lights near me live in the breaker. I hear the COO likes all of the lights on so he can "feel like there are more people in the office." Bully for him.

Classic, it's a good one.

I dig it, cool song!

Yeah, that's one of my favorites too! Got any good examples you like? One of my favs is "Ivory" by Polyphia. It hits right towards the end of the song and always gets me good.

I like it when a chorus gets built up more on each repetition, either with the addition of more instrumental parts, new harmonies or background vocals, or a beat change that brings up the intensity.

Similarly, I like when that same effect happens within 2 halves of a chorus. Example of one I heard recently is the chorus of the song "Breathing" by ELLEGARDEN. The 2nd half adds a higher vocal harmony + a picked lead guitar line that open up the sound a bit and just give it a nice little emotional boost.

I think there are lot more than 7 to 11 umbrellas that look the same out there 🥸
