And that's actually part of the problem: your title doesn't mean anything.
Not that you're not leading, but what "lead" or "senior" actually means is completely arbitrary.
In one project I'm lead in, I wrote maybe 5 lines of actual code, because I was in meetings, wrote documentation, did release management (well, I wrote pipelines here, but that's like 200 lines), etc. The actual leg work was done by 4 or five other guys.
But in another project, I'm lead of myself and another bloke, of course I'm writing code in that one.
So it's completely possible to have a bunch of guys with the "developer" tag on their title, but they're not doing much developing.
Actually watch the video, you're way too generous in your analysis.
The metric is essentially lines of code. That's it.
So everyone who isn't hacking away ultra verbose code is considered useless. Lead devs and architects often don't write any code at all. They're not unproductive.
If you want to get all philosophical (which is probably a bit too far, it's George Lucas after all), you could make the argument that the downfall of the Republic is an example of a complacent, non-responsive governmental elite failing to react or even just recognize obvious problems.
The Jedi are just warrior monks and symptomatic for that. They didn't bring her with them, because they don't care about people that much. They are above the population and act more like demigods.
Jeder weiß, dass die Patienten in sehr absehbarer Zukunft sterben werden und anstatt irgendwas dagegen zu machen, werden sie bewusstlos gespritzt, damit es etwas erträglicher wird. Aber wenn man das unabwendbare beschleunigt, ist man Mörder.
See, if you would have read my comment and actually bothered to understand it, you would have seen, that I haven't said no one is at fault here.
So I have to assume, you're arguing in bad faith, you're putting words in my mouth to defeat a straw man, while not addressing any of my actual points.
So maybe pull that infantile sarcasm out of your ass and try actually thinking about what you're saying.
I think this video gets flak, because (in your scenario) not you and your coworker made a video about having fun, but your boss made you come to the otherwise empty office to act like you're having fun and use that as advertisement.
Will you categorically stomp your foot and ignore every single argument in that comment as well? Because you're almost there!
Blaming consumers for things that happen at least three indirections removed from them is childish. A consumer cannot know where all the resources are coming from.
Blaming EVs for this, is just as childish, if not actively evil, since the alternative would be oil extraction and that's not exactly clean and happy either.
People are getting harassed a lot for not supporting their software as others think they should. Look at the xz guy, he basically quit because he couldn't take it anymore.
It's the typical basement dwelling no true Scotsman nerd. You're only a real programmer if you spend 18h a day writing code or complaining on IRC why your neovim doesn't work.
This arrogance is BTW exactly the kind of thinking that brought us Musk. Tech is great, tech will save us all, I can tech, I am great, I will save us all.
The idea is that women are afraid not to have children at all and get emergency children before 30.
That this will turn women into breeding and child caring machines has the nice side effects that you not only get a bunch of women who don't have time for education, and thus more job security for me men, and it keeps them at home, so you don't need child care facilities.
Yeah, I feel like if a customer has an informed opinion about your costumer service, your service obviously forces customers to call customer service too often.
Nationality, race, sex all are things that can't be taken away from you. Even the lowest of the low lives still can look down on mexicans, blacks, women because at least he's not that!
Attacking these last resorts by making them not matter, is an attack on the flimsy sense of self worth these people have. You can't be proud to be a man if it doesn't matter that you're a man.
I feel like you misunderstood my point. Maybe on purpose, like apparently is tradition in these fields.
I never even implied "no care", I'm talking about puberty blockers and hormone treatment. These are irreversible changes. And without knowing, who they "truly are" you can't know, whether hormones are the right way to go. Damaging a trans kid by not treating is shite, but damaging a cis kid by treating it is also shite. And a doctor basically has to decide which of these risks to take - which is hard without proper data.
The first study is about adults, not children. The pediatrics talk about banning care all together. Both address exactly not my point.
First off, there is absolutely zero surgeries being performed on minors. This is not happening. What is happening is puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy, both of which are non-permanent
I never implied surgery. And "non-permanent" is a euphemism. Blocking puberty for years can lead to permanent problems - like infertility.
Actually, your entire comment kind of proves my point: there isn't research about how kids think and care ten years later.
As a trans person myself, I need you to understand that reticence by the cis population is dangerous for the trans population
And you need to understand, that finding out, whether a kid is part of that population is exactly the hard part.
What I seriously can't estimate is, how persistent is gender identification in youths?
I mean, children and teenagers are generally idiots (I certainly was). As far as I know, there's no physiological test to determine trans identity, so an outside observer has a really hard time distinguishing real and "fake" trans identity. I'm not even talking about willful deceit, but just the general instability of kids.
So, I can understand that people are hesitant to allow gender affirming care, because they fear they might do more harm than good. Especially if you're somewhat older, all those trans issues must seem like a new trend, I certainly didn't hear much about them 10 years ago. Unless there's something like a proper scientific guideline, all judges and doctors are basically forced to judge themselves and will probably stick to the "old ways".
Yeah, but that's the thing: it's not fast. And that's actually even more baffling.
All those rewrites cost money. All the shoddy software somewhere in the background of every corporation was written using these shitty libraries, frameworks, APIs. And that means cost.
I'm explicitly not talking about the newest crap Amazon or Google push, they operate under different principles, I'm talking about the data plumbing stuff. The eight billion Spring Boot apps, the PHP sites, the Python pipelines.
Writing and deploying a simple CRUD app, that just takes data from a request and saves it into a DB should be done in a few minutes. The actual "payload" is just input schema, DB schema, transformation rules, maybe auth. That's it. However, if you want to do that in Spring Boot and K8s, it takes often hours or days to get everything right. Not because Spring Boot is hard, but because you forget a network policy in Helm or the dateformat between JSON/Java/DB is different or that library is outdated or there's CVE somewhere or you have to look up that shitty mappedBy thingy from Hibernate again (that's maybe just my problem, I can't remember that crap) etc. etc. etc.
The basic problem behind is, that we have to take care of so much. Network, business logic, framework detail. You have hardly any layer or platform that is really solid.
And that's actually part of the problem: your title doesn't mean anything.
