- loufe 4y agoI'm not sure how you're coming to the conclusion that wearing an iron ring changes any sense of responsibility. I'm bound as a Canadian engineer to provincial legislation (law) regarding my responsibilities, that and my job contract. The (very optional) iron ring I'm wearing is symbolic and only a part of tradition.

The problem is NSO, not the tech stack, but I guess this is the tech equivalent of looking for lost keys under the street lamp because that's where the light is.
