I feel we are on the cusp of a new era... Civil Engineering bridge analogies about to be replaced by forklift analogies.

My vague memories of DP are centered around the custom ranges for cycling through color palettes. A talented artist could make simple animated scenes.

Yes, this was one of the main reasons to build this: a modern editor that still supports color cycling, allowing me to create things like this: https://www.dpaint.app/?file=gallery/2026/the-vision-layered...


I don't know of any other term in tech that people experience in so many different often contradictory ways that causes people to talk past each other because they're all talking about different things or been places that work so differently.

Agile is like this too.

Yeah I thought of that one, but still reckon DevOps goes well past it.

> You are far better off with people that can work together across the bridge, but that requires actual mutual trust and respect, and we’re not able to do that.

Wasn't that the original goal of DevOps? Getting dev and ops not being siloes and get them collaborating? The "make devs do ops" definition seemed to come along later.


The original goal of DevOps never happened. Companies immediately jumped on this with "rationalizations" and "integrations" to make it so fewer people were in charge of more things.

Case in point, the number of companies who create "devops" teams completely missing the point of the exercise.

In my experience civil engineers get paid less than software developers of equivalent experience or responsibility.

Yes, but they are good at what they do. Software is more conplex and has a culture of fix it in production that would make it far more risky to sign.

I wouldn't describe software as most people experience it as more complex.

And civil engineering projects are constantly fixing unforeseen design problems either during construction or afterwards.

I would distinguish the failure modes as different though eg analog vs digital. Real world engineering can absorb an awful lot of minor mistakes through safety factors etc. Failure can be gradual or just a matter of degree or even just interpretation of standards. Software failures are often more digital or only matter when "under attack"


I have a 13yr old 27" Ultrasharp still going well.

+1 to only buy Ultrasharp if buying from Dell. The others can be junk.


I'm using 2x Dell U3011s, one I purchased around ~2013 probably and the other I got used recently for $100. My only issue with them is that they have PWM coil whine that only goes away if I crank the brightness to ~90%, which seems to produce an immense amount of heat and probably power consumption. I'd love to find a viable alternative solution for this, because these are my favorite monitors for now.

The model appears to have been released 16 years ago.

I haven't yet found a monitor that makes sense to replace them with either.


I think there is a slightly newer version of these, but I have the same set up. I haven’t been able to find anything that has the vertical space that these monitors do. Even Ultra Wide monitors just aren’t tall enough. If I got this 52 inch behemoth that would help, but I would actually lose horizontal space.

> I think there is a slightly newer version of these, but I have the same set up

Ya, I've tried at least one of the newer versions and they were great too. 16:10 or almost anything else than 16:9 please


No well behaved scraper at least.

No any scraper seeks.

> By the time im done, grok will be spouting conspiracy theories about the decline of the strategic bacon reserve.

grok will blame the zionists rather than the freemasons for that one.


That sounds like Elon merging xAI and The Boring Company

In 2011 I would've had trouble believing there could be a trillion dollar AI company, but that if there was such a company I could almost expect they would make such an asinine statement.
