Some of us aren’t terminally online and a lot of us are from outside the US.
It’s good to see the situation summed up, and presented by an apparently credible broadcaster.
Makes me sick to my stomach, I hope everyone is accounted for.
Does anyone know when we even start to feel like a grow up? I’m sure I’ll look back at my 40s and wince.
Ah I see. Yep. And it’s easier to see it as you get older.
Didn’t want to miss out on the chance to diss myself though. I was as dumb as a rock back then. And in many ways, still am.
Er no. My progeny is a decade ahead of where I was at his age. Smarter and more self assured and stable.
He’s not dumber. But I’ve realised I am.
It’s snoozing.
I break the fourth wall with my imaginary audience with a really hard Paddington Bear stare, then swipe away, but you do what works for you.
Lots of lead shielding and warning signs to anyone coming from any direction other than the bunker door.
One very large and just-subcritical block of something with a long half life and just seconds of fatal exposure, between that and the door.
That’s a hell of a load bearing tailgate
Not just America, if (without WHO funding) entirely containable diseases are no longer contained.
And we’ll have a few fat, rich, old narcissists, and a staggeringly stupid western voting populace (both sides of the Atlantic), to thank for it.
It’s at the point now where it really doesn’t matter what Trump says, and it baffles me the the media hang on his words… because it’s all a regurgitated word salad and he’s entirely in the moment with no filter. He’s a liability in so many ways.
What he and his administration does, matters much more than what he says.
That was masterful. Sums up the Shitweasel in Chief’s sleaze succinctly. Bravo Led by Donkeys.
Had an interesting chat with a chill taxi driver about this. He’d been in the business almost 30 years and says he sees people who don’t adopt this philosophy actually have health issues, and quit.
Thanks for inspiring this meme.
I believe you mean thawb. A fraud is a term for a deep geological formation filled with water, in Scandinavia.
No, that’s frog. Fraud is the opposite of frozen.
A Dell. The shame.
A lot of what you’re saying is spot on and I respect your experience in this and the other comment.
I don’t hire for fun though. I hire for a diversity of perspectives, integrity and authenticity. We teach people how to constructively challenge and go after problems or objectives that may have no off the shelf solution (if they do, we may acquire it).
The problems are usually P&L quantified and prioritised before they get to us - we only have to do that legwork if it’s something we’ve generated.
It does feel like a playground to a degree and I do love the work - perhaps yes it’s less ‘professional’ and structured. We do have experienced devs and architects who I would hope aren’t reproducing problems - but it’s often our job to find a technical solution (if appropriate) to a problem, not to ‘productionise’ it or maintain it. This involves a handoff to others in the business and they ultimately determine how it is rolled out.
I get that this isn’t typical of the market and thanks for your response / take on this. One thing we have to be careful of is being ‘institutionalised’ and that will come across as naive, perhaps it is, but that has been a help.
About every 5 years, usually when either the phone breaks, or key software no longer supported.
