     Someone objected to ‘dudes’, apparently it’s sexist so I’ll just leave this here.

     In California, everything and everyone is a dude

     @skinnylatte I'm encountering this at $DAYJOB. Not so much with documentation, but with tooling improvements. I've been pushing for improvements to some of our internal tooling for over a decade to make developers' lives easier, and not gotten much traction.

     Now that those same changes might benefit LLM based tools, there are all the resources in the world to work on them. And I no longer have any interest in being involved.

     @skinnylatte they're seems to be this widespread belief in the us that there is a single correct way to say/do things.

     As it turns out, things that are offensive in one place are not in others.

     A lot of things that are perfectly normal in the us will mark you as really rude in Sweden. Likewise, there are things I do in Singapore that's perfectly normal that would get me ostracised in the us

     @skinnylatte as a non-Californian, I can attest to universal dude as a thing that existed in English during the 80s beyond the geographic borders of California.
