I’m an old fuck and I started to code in the late 80s. Fast forward 30 years, I once had to work at a WeWork. One day, directly outside of my small office space, I swear to god, a fucking hipster kid with a Macbook under his arm practiced skateboard moves. That was the exact moment I started hating working in IT. It’s also what I think every Javascript coder looks and acts like.

Well, also the fact that all variables are non-nullable by default anyway.
No NullPointerExceptions in Kotlin.
glorkon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution.English9·3 months agoEven if the judiciary system in your country doesn’t do its work, people taking justice in their own hands is a fundamentally bad thing for a society. I don’t pity predators if they get what they deserve, but I pity the society that suddenly has to define boundaries - where do you draw the line? Not all cases are clear cut. Not everyone operates on the same set of morals.
Example: Religious zealots really do believe that abortions kill children. If society doesn’t categorically forbid people to take justice into their own hands but goes “well, in this case, we can all understand”, you will have other people acting in ways they perceive as equally justifiable. And then abortion doctors get murdered.
The users who downvoted me don’t seem to have this understanding, they would rather have revenge. If you people don’t understand that self-justice will ultimately lead to a more violent society, then go ahead, downvote me again. You’re the reason your country isn’t a more civilized place, wherever you live.

Less oversight?
Nothing. But that kid used it inside a coworking space.
