Real talk: I wish more orgs place a high value on QA. A good QA team is worth it's weight in gold and helps prevent a lot of stupid mistakes.

If they ever file for Chapter 7, I will be deeply disappointed if the headline doesn't read, "Hooters Goes Tits Up".

"Who has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap? Bob Kelso. How you doin'?"

No good deed goes unpunished.

One time I worked on a team that had a ridiculously high defect rate. Stuff was constantly getting kicked back from QA. Management kept piling on all kinds of convoluted processes to try to reduce the number of defects which only made things worse.

I started really hammering the need for doing a root cause analysis as part of bug/defect tickets. Don't just fix the bug. Make sure you understand what caused it and link the bug ticket to the ticket that caused it.

Big surprise (not really), 90% of the bugs and defects were being caused by like 3 people.

Your comment made me think of some of the PM's whining about adding one story point for doing an RCA because apparently it's better to just ignore the problem and keep pumping out shitty broken code as fast as possible.

Just a matter of time before someone reintroduces smallpox to humans.

Well there's a thought I did not need in my brain today.

One of the Reddit subs I miss the most is r/Accounting. I am not an accountant but the memes were top tier and the level of corporate cynicism was completely relatable.

Why are they spending billions on this?

Greed.

I would focus on having a solid backup strategy. Segmenting applications on different VM's makes more sense in a data center when one application can serve an entire organization. For your personal workstation, it's just going to add a lot of unnecessary overhead.

Pretty short sighted, which is also on brand, for the Kremlin. I'm sure that by now they've discovered that whatever incriminating info they had on Trump is essentially worthless, since none of his supporters care about any of the horrible things he's done. And, he's found himself in the position of being able to steal, cheat, and grift right out in the open with zero consequences, thereby lessening his dependence on laundering money for the Russians.

They wanted an agent of chaos and they got one. Unfortunately for them, this particular agent is very difficult if not impossible to control.

If only the US hadn't backed out of the original nuclear "deal" we had with Iran. Who's administration was responsible for that again? I can't seem to remember. Hmmm...

This reminds me of a buddy I used to have. He wore jackets exactly like this and even had two little dogs. He was a Vietnam vet and did, in fact, kill a whole bunch of people during the war. Something he never forgave himself for.

One time I asked him what that was like. He thought for a minute and said, "When you have your weapon trained on someone, for a split second you have the power of God in your hands. You get to decide if that person lives or dies. Nobody should have that kind of power."

He was a character but a good dude overall.

There's usually a trail leading back. Grease and fats solidify very quickly in a cold sewer line.

Like a Peacock with glass packs.

Alternatively, and much preferred, just kick the whole Trump administration into the ocean, hold your own Nuremberg trials and start refreshed into the future. K thx bye.

I like the way you think.

US has a sizeable advantage in terms of sheer firepower but lacks the collective will to side with Russia in a conflict with NATO. To be clear, the Trump administration might try to side with Russia and the initial consequences of that would be very serious. But, long term, I think that would bring a swift end to the US' global dominance. Potentially even bringing us to the point of total collapse.

That's just one American's perspective though.

Remember when the Governor of Missouri tried to have a guy arrested for notifying the state of Missouri that they had a breach in one of the state websites, making peoples PII publicly visible?

That's the kind of idiots you're dealing with here. "We added you to a group chat by mistake and it's all YOUR fault."

"Rabbi, is there a blessing for the Tsar?"

"A blessing for the Tsar? Of course! May God bless and keep the Tsar... Far away from us."
