When If Your Job Is Mainly About Your Network... Then You Are Part Of The Leadership We Can Fire With

When if your job is mainly about your network... then you are part of the leadership we can fire with no real longterm consequences.

Cut the fat. No firm should need "An aristocrat, because the other aristocrats will only deal with us when we hire an aristocrat to make bigger decisions"

No. Like a programmer who writes badly so no one but him can maintain it: "Fire them quickly, because every day you wait it will hurt more"

Just fucking fire the CEO, and most likely the majority of the next 2-3 levels of managment too.

Did you know people thought a country could not be run without a government? So even if the government is corrupt it is at least better to have than no government... and then Belgium just did not have one for almost two years... and they were fine.

They. were. not. Needed.

"Networking is how you get a good job" I am killing myself dawg

I made a crash course about this.

Instead of using butter for your grilled cheese, you should switch to linux. You can set up a virtual machine to try out various distros to see which ones work best for your needs

That where safety matters ( Medical devices, aircraft and so on ) it is a legal requirement that the Quality Assurance department is separate and independent of any other department.

And the reason for that is: "It is the only configuration that works"

What are your thoughts on dedicated testing teams vs testers within the team vs software engineers owning the testing?

I use this!

Like using the kitchen after I cleaned it, or using a table I cleared to do a project on.

I counter the dumb "But it took efford to get it clean, so I should not use it" thing with "Eh, sucks to be past me. Like I know what that moron did, he can freaking deal with it"

bored of "that's a problem for future me"? try the fresh and dynamic "that's a problem for past me" - consequences shmonsequences, let yesteryou figure it out

"Non-binary" is a terrible term

I finally realized what rubbed me the wrong way with the term "Nonbinary".

Which is weird, because it does the cardinal sin of terms. Terms starting with "non" are... universally terrible. It defines what the thing... is not. Which is not telling you anything about what the thing ARE.

AND there IS a term for this! And it is not only more accurate, it is also easier to make people understand!

Binary is 1 way to encode digital signals.

Trilinary or quardlinary is also ways to encode digital signals.

These would be the equivalent of saying

"There are only men and women. Hermafrodites do not exist" ( Binary )

"It is not just male and femal. It is male, female and X" ( Trilinary)

And

"It is not just male and femal. It is male, female, X and Y" ( quardlinary)

"Digital" meaning there is a finite amount of states. ( digit = number. As in "finite number" )

The term for nonbinary, IE " It is not male and female. It is male and female and a range between them with infinite points" would be "analog"

Which I LOVE!

Like "I do not assign my child boxes that they have to pick from, despite those boxes all being more or less inaccurate" is really hard to say and sell to other people. It is too long and complicated.

But since "I treat my offspring like an analog child. Not a digital one." Means the same and is MUCH easier to say AND it conjures in the mind "I treat my child based on how they are. I deal with the reality of the situation, not on semi-random boxes society have come up with"

It is wonderful! The world is full of analog people!

( Sorry for the clickbait title. I am hoping to sneak this post into places where it can upset som "THERE IS ONLY MALE AND FEMALE" people :3 )
