    If this means they quit changing random shit for no reason and focus on fixing bugs, I’m all for it.

      Programmers who maintain code get laid off, programmers who create new code get promoted.

      These kind of lay-offs always result in more bugs and more fucking up shit for no reason.

      TIL that I’m cynical. Damn.

      Looks like my next but one phone will be a iPhone. I never imagined that I would ever say that. Ever.

      Google let me down when visual voicemail (or whatever they were going to call it) failed to appear!
