If they are adding complexity, thy aren't as smart as thy think they are. Thy are writing shit difficult to maintain software. Try explaining that to them in a nicer way than I described.

After 20 years in this industry I firmly believe that the code reuse thing is way oversold in universities. It seems to be the reason for so much crappy over engineered monstrosities. YAGNI and KISS are far better things to aim for. Avoid d

Short term pleasure is not the same as long term happiness. The Dali Lama says something to that effect.

They arrive at the same endpoint through different means. Too much concentrated power and wealth.

The planet isn't dying, more C02 will likely mean more greening of the earth. We could do to sort out the plastic waste though.

Subpar science for their grift seems to sum up the entire covid response. Surely as a biologist you must have asked some questions about the actual response. - Easily manipulated case numbers from variable PCR cycle thresholds. - The way th

In the UK they were carrying out over 1000 times the number of covid tests as flu tests. The false positives alone would have been more than the number of flu tests. Try looking at excess mortality compared to previous years for a more accu
