  • Most people who get promoted in my company are taking holidays after being hired, are back from maternity/paternity leave, are taking lots of break, some don’t even work the hours they should.

    The key is just to be visible.

    Those who work a lot silently are not visible because they think they will be noticed, and the management needs them to stay where they are to do the hard work.

    Just take your leaves.


  • Considering the high proportion of the population with ancestors who were illegal immigrants, there’s also a question of what you consider as acceptable.

    If illegal immigrants in the US are all white Christian beautiful women filling jobs that locals don’t want to do in healthcare, is it different than Pedro from Honduras who works in construction but looks like he could be a drug mule.








  • Sometimes you gotta be realistic that the majority of the population wouldn’t have found Linux as friendly as many here are, even today, while Windows or is/was kinda the obvious mainstream choice for running any software… The balance seems to tip slowly, but honestly it took decades.

    Even today you’re still all debating which distro that didn’t exist 10 years ago is the best, and which office suite can match Microsoft’s… How am I going to convince my non-nerd friends to use Linux over Windows in that context.

    About gaming, it’s a matter of being able to run AAA games without issues, like, no bugs and anti-cheat problems. It’s only since SteamOS that it is getting enough programmers and mainstream attention.

    This is the way, but once again it required the power of a dominant company to move the lines.
