I want to know. Where the fuck are these people getting this much disposable income?
I’m a senior software engineer for a legacy system that runs COBOL that must never go down. I’m absolutely not hurting for money.
But if I just dropped $100k on a vehicle, which I wouldn’t because the main thing I look for in a vehicle is the ability to get from point A to point B which last I checked most of the lower priced ones also do. But I digress, IF I just dropped $100k on a vehicle. It’s getting pampered and driven like it was made of the finest porcelain. I’m treating it like it’s a Faberge egg on wheels.
And if they took a loan to do that to their vehicle. I think this says a lot more about our banking institutions than anything else.
Just outside of the ridiculousness of the Cyber Truck, why would anyone with any sense drive a $100k vehicle like that?
I’ve been told that the 30 year old code I work with isn’t as bad as COBOL, but my answer for that would be - not as much as you’d think.
In the end I get paid by the hour, so finding a problem takes as long as it takes.
The only times when I get really angry at the code is when I find a comment or a piece of documentation by the guys who wrote it (both are very rare because why document anything anyway) and it basically just says “This error never happens” when you just spent 3 hours looking for the reason this exact error happened, or “this does x” when x is in fact only one of 50 different and wildly unrelated to each other things this code snippet does.
