Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

from the link, we obtain HODL gang and versace bedouin (which might be the worst song I've ever heard period).

I would also like to add predatory capitalist feminism anthem WAGMI.

on an ideological level I would nominate the technofascist propaganda piece we appreciate power. banger tho

'We are all gonna make it' while wearing an NFT shirt, such a timecapsule of a dumb age. Wait, that was last year?

Technofascist propaganda? Can I offer you a noosphere?

I look forward to the fruits of this thread and I am already sure that every single song deserves recognition for having more effort put into it than typing a prompt into a shitty generative ai text field

I’m waiting for night to fall so I can hook my headphones up to the good amp and torture my brain with these directly

we have an acausal robot god for that sort of thing, you don't need to do it to yourself

The only tech song I ever knew about was Weird Al’s “All About the Pentiums”. I didn’t realize there were other actual songs

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 5 points 1 year ago

that's a banger

without any apology, have this remarkable entrant: the vmware tanzu song

I've kept it around in the archives, even (especially?) though they tried to disappear it.

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the original. I see it's back to Unlisted now, for a while it was unloadable

[–] fasterandworse@awful.systems 5 points 1 year ago

that's daft punk

NB, I know you specified “worst” but I can’t help but think the personae of some JoCo songs are tech bros:

The list goes on.

Yeah Coulton is pretty good at articulating some of the darker parts of geekdom. You just know the protagonist of "Code Monkey" is just a step from installing a RAT on his crush's computer.
