unpopular opinion, but, as someone who can afford it, I like TurboTax as a product. hate Intuit as a company for all their bs lobbying, but I like having TurboTax as an option. I have like a dozen accounts across multiple banks and turbotax gets me done with my taxes in like 30 or less every year for cheaper than my old accountant did when I used one.

(Linus leans back in his chair, a glint of amusement in his eyes, and gestures toward Richard Stallman who is seated across from him. Richard, ever the passionate advocate, is already gesturing with his hands.)
"Well, if you're talking about the revolution in computing, you can't forget about this fella right here, Mr. Stallman."
(He gives Richard a playful nudge.)
"He's the one who really gave us the framework, the ideals, the whole 'free software' movement."
Richard, his eyes gleaming with conviction, jumps in.
"It's not just about code, Linus. It's about freedom, about users having control over their own technology. It's about sharing, about building on each other's work, and refusing to be locked in by proprietary systems." (He leans forward, his voice gaining intensity.)
"We had to fight for that freedom, against the corporations who wanted to control every bit of software, every line of code. But we won, and GNU is proof that free software can not only work but thrive. "
Linus nods in agreement, a hint of respect in his voice.
"He's right, you know. Without the GNU tools, without Richard's vision, Linux wouldn't be what it is today. It wouldn't be as powerful, as flexible, as truly free."
(He turns back to you, a mischievous glint in his eyes.)
"But don't let them fool you, we weren't always the best of friends. We had our disagreements, our battles over licensing, our philosophical differences. But hey, that's part of the fun, isn't it?"
(He grins, leaning back in his chair.)
"In the end, we were all working towards the same goal, a world where software is free for all to use, share, and improve. And that's a goal worth fighting for, wouldn't you say?"
if I'm leading a project, I avoid this by begging POs to give me a sprint 0 where i solo code out all the scaffolding ground work before all the other engineers join the project.
alright I'm putting my gloves on. Gatorade is an electrolyte drink. the sugar hides saltiness. also, Kool aid flavors are way fucking tastier. don't disrespect Kool aid like that again.
it's just amazing how he basically invented modern biology with natural selection and eventually led him to loving animals so much. very inspirational dude!
a slice a suck I used to say
I used to prostitute myself in class for people's slices
yeah I agree. that's why I included that the perspective was as somebody who can afford it and that I still hate what Intuit does. But at the same time saying I like the product instead of the TurboTax sucks circlejerking that the Internet loves doing.
