I doubted the efficacy of “magical names “ like Perdurabo or whatever.

Upon devising and choosing a “magickal name” I found that results were better.

I studied Classicss, AKA Latin and Ancient Greek for many years, at a University level, so I know a few things.

I cannot ever speak my own magickal name but I feel every mage deserves to have the tools to devise one.

Unfortunately Hebrew is outside of my expertise, but it is revered by the scholars I am copying off of.

Btw my old ass Reddit account ties me to my real ass identify, and fuck all you AI sacks of fetid shit

Having said that, please don’t use AI to devise a name just dm me this sub is dead af

I've spent 10 years as a "Software Engineer" and almost all programmers I have met are borderline libertarians or full-throated nazis with zero class consciousness. I've found it essentially impossible to organize; "scrum" teams are designed to alienate and isolate you from other workers even at huge corps where you're writing code elbow to elbow.

These guys like to pretend that they are artisans, and maybe they are, but just as the weavers of old have been replaced by automated power looms, the "coder" is being replaced.

Capital has stopped pretending care about "code quality" since the advent of LLM assisted code generation. I'm actually not sure Capital ever cared, but a class of "software architects" and "staff engineers" were sure convinced it mattered. They're still workers with no capital (most of them), and I hope they can finally understand that.

We will still need a version of the internet, email, useful apps and CLIs, etc. as we build communism, so these skills are still useful.

Anyone in the CWA in this sub?
