Took me a few seconds to get the sarcasm and check the date.

How many persons have had the opportunity to witness the essence of this man, to stop his ascension, to effectively put him in his place, and did not? And why?

Very valid reason. But beware that it does not weigh on you and burn you out. Been there several times. It always hurts, but I should have left even earlier each time.

If your n+1 doesn’t give a shit, why should you stay and enable this carelessness?

Why couldn't we have something decentralised there too? Like blogs/RSS or AT proto, but for CVs and networking? Some kind of protocol on top of micro formats? That still works with LinkedIn (at least in one way, as it's obvio

Somehow agree with it, but... how do you do so when you're in survival mode? How does the whole premise of "If everyone did what what they find most fulfilling, our net happiness will rise." work if not everyone gets to choos

Or perhaps the fact that it didn't happen that bad earlier is that the threat model has substantially changed in the recent years?

Who's moving? 6 named companies "and others". Sounds more like a subset of a peculiar typology of founders don't like a state acting like a state (balancing interests for its own people, including minority shareholders,

That's called a breach of contract. A class action here would be a massive hit.

Thanks for the insights. As for (3), I never got _negative_ reviews, rather confirmations or hints that confirmed what emerged through the interviews and either lead us to stop the process (rare, but happened) or helped adjusting the positi

Fine with you for your tech candidate question, if that works for you. Maybe I never encountered your perspective; in 20 years in the industry, in about 10 significant software prod/consulting companies, we never outsourced hiring or

_Centralized platforms_ socialising happened around 2004, Facebook being one big survivor of that time. Because then, centralising stuff to provide a massive service proved more efficient (money wise: resources, investment, control, ads). B

Not of that opinion. I met great engineers or developers who won't even care to answer a fizzbuzz-type question. I met terrible ones who had top technical and math capabilities but little agency at pointing what is relevant or not in t

In the past 20 years, I see 2 that could be qualified as offensive, at most. NATO's command in 2003 in Afghanistan came following an unanimous UN Security Council resolution; Russia even provided support. But yeah, let's count 1 h

I know. That's the theory and mostly the practice. Only, ask your military to return against your just previous allies (at your own initiative) among which the one that helped your very nation to fight for its independence, with which

You mean the _Vichy_ French soldiers? that's quite a different situation than the allied French army :) And, I was more thinking of the situation on American ground, within the USA and between the USA and Canada. I don't mean it w

NATO didn't expand. More countries joined it. That's rather a significant nuance.
