It's very simple, most of the posts here are circle jerks (Linux, FOSS, boy howdy aren't we better than Reddit, communism) or rage bait.

I only come here when I'm having a good day and I want to reel myself in a bit

Edit: see below to see how far Lemmy users will go to circle jerk how much better they are than Reddit

My team is trying to shift away from Java towards a TS backend. Call us stupid but our current Java stack is a nightmare to work with.

Personally I would love for us to do a Go or Rust based backend, but we're basically a startup with a rotating set of employees so I don't see that happening

That's a good take, I hadn't thought of comparing it to Primer. In Primer, it's clear Shane Carruth thought out all the implications of his time travel system. I don't get that feeling from Tenet, where it feels like Nolan thought it would be cool and didn't go further. What you end up with is a movie that's fun while you're watching it but falls apart once it's over and you think about it for more then 5 minutes.

The scene I think is the most egregious is the air terminal fight. It's a cool idea in theory but a fist fight between two individuals going in opposite directions in time would immediately result in a paradox. It's hard to explain but it essentially boils down to the fact that both fighters are reacting to their opponents reaction to the move they're about to make.

Yea, I've had this happen to me in my first year of university. Wrote an assignment and foolishly put it on a public Github repo. Someone found it, changed a few variable names and submitted it. Got caught by an auto-detector and accused of plagiarism, luckily the prof just gave me a 0 on the assignment.
