The jab at mask-wearing during the pandemic is off-putting and senseless. The author even mentions "side effects" which aren't in the linked article at all. (if you're having side effects from wearing a mask, you're in dire health already) We know (proven) that viruses spread via cough, droplets, etc. We know (proven) masks are effective at stopping these droplets. Does the author come into operation theaters and mock the surgeon for wearing a mask, based on that one study he read? ** From personal experience, I'm starting to notice a pattern when talking to or reading from some "too senior" engineers. They'll just dismiss your concerns out of hand and disregard anything they don't care for as irrelevant, based on their experience in a different context with PHP or Ruby or whatever twenty years ago. I understand it's good to be able to see beyond the current hype, and notice long patterns, and trust in your own competence; but at some point it goes too far. I hope I won't end up like this.
