Given the resultant comment section I clicked into the article expecting the most sith-like of absolutist proclamations taking itself extremely seriously and actively fanning arbitrary ideological flames. Instead I found a concise, measured

> How do you know the penetration testers you hired are not black hat hackers? Is the implication that all pentesters are black hats until axiomatically proven otherwise? High bar.

Norwegian tech salaries are relatively standardised and skew low (sometimes very low) by US standards, so certainly in a decent to good market there isn’t that much burning incentive for a company to volunteer themselves to the front page o

Are you asking me what I personally believe, or what the GP meant? I don't want to put words in their mouth, but stating that bartending is future-proof while white collar work isn't paints the picture of a future with more inequa

If you're arguing that initial criticism doesn't meaningfully predict future potential, then I fully agree. We've seen this in everything from EVs to streaming services to a megacorp like Amazon : plenty of rocky if not outri

This doesn’t vibe with my experience at all. We also use LLMs and it’s exceedingly rare that a non-trivial PR/MR gets waved through without comment.

Technically true, but popular connotation matters, and in this case I’d argue it matters more than the dictionary definition. It’s a bit like “racism” : I honestly have no idea if the current academic definition is “prejudice + power” or ju

I suppose there’s no certainty when dealing with a vague hypothetical, but probably both employer and employee? It’s not as if burnout and quitting is in anyone’s interest.
