   I've been trying to figure out why there's so much heightened concern over TikTok. Is it possible that the NSA and other Five Eyes can't spy on its messaging? EDIT: Or maybe just that they're worried about that possibili

    It depends. Over time, I've seen a lot of cases where other teams were duplicating effort, or product owners or project managers were making bad guesses about what was difficult, or impossible, or already done - and the reason was that

    I think you're both offensive for centering negative ("don't be"), male ("a dick") attributes in this discussion. We should instead be positive and also center female genitalia ("Be a cunt"). Also, I
