I was managing a project with contractors in Ukraine when the war broke out. They had some equipment of ours on loan for around 10.000 euros. While I was handling their employees suddenly scattering all over Europe, my upper management wanted me to ask them to keep our equipment safe. I told my management to get fucked. Luckily they understood how insensitive they were being.

I continued the project, we even paid our invoices earlier to help them out. The company was so grateful. Later in that project, my coworker who is originally from Iran expressed his sympathies when Iranian drones were raining down on Ukraine, how he was ashamed his country was doing this. What a moment

Would you still love me if I were a worm home?

This should be charged as a hate crime or incitement

Seeing opportunities everywhere. The same underlying mechanism is at work here as with challenge: Let’s replace the word for this bad thing with a different word that means something similar but positive. And then it looks like something good! I am very smart

Totally forgot about that.

Germany is backsliding particularly hard with their support of Israel meaning heavy crackdowns on peaceful demonstrations. It’s shameful

But why? People just want to talk and chat. The technology has been around for ages! Let users host their own servers

This should be illegal

As a former software engineer turned product owner turned manager, thank you for including other perspectives. When complaining on the internet, engineers typically think other people should be doing all the specification work and they just implement it, without realizing that in the pre-agile days, the bureaucracy was soul-crushing. We need engineers to discuss all these technical details like permissions and whatnot, they’re the best people for the task! But at parties, engineers talk about this as if management is stupid for not working it out for them. No, software engineers shouldn’t try to reduce themselves to code monkeys. You’re problem solvers, you’re engineers.

Lies

This can’t be said enough. It’s almost always not worth the strain on your mental health. You’re not a student but a worker for your professor and getting paid way too little

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Or are you denying Uyghurs are being persecuted?

I hate that this is considered politics. The origin of covid should be a scientific debate. At first I was also confused that lab leak was a right wing conspiracy, but scientifically it does have quite a few things going for it.

Non-Jews are denied citizenship and thus disenfranchised. Textbook apartheid. Israel can be a Jewish state or a democracy, it cannot be both

UE4 movement was buttery smooth

What are they?

Park near a fire hydrant or pass a stopped school bus and everybody freaks out, but this is just fine somehow
