iT's a doCuMentArY!

It's a film that was intended as a joke, and uses Eugenics as its premise. Yes, the Internet has made idiots louder, but it has also helped intelligent people become smarter. The next 4 years will be like the last 8, minus the pandemic.

If ignorance is rewarded, then people will willingly choose to be ignorant. The advice in this article sounds nice, but the reality is the rats only want the reward. If learning Kubernetes gets a six figure job tomorrow, people will chase it while ignoring networking and OS fundamentals.

I'm sorry you went through that. I had an interview recently that asked no technical questions, only logic puzzles like "princess is behind door number 1, monster is behind door number 2" scenario shit. I mentioned I'm extremely bad at these, but I have ten years of experience that I can speak to. I went ahead and did the quiz and got ghosted anyways. The silver lining is we get to watch companies like this become landfills. Cheers.

I'm the same way but I use a hobonichi journal with a frixion erasable ink pen. It flows much smoother. I used to use a moleskine with fisher pen but I kept having to go over lines again. Maybe it works better in space.

I often try to explain this concept to people that want to work in IT engineering jobs. They see qualities like: high salary, work from home, no physical labor, no college degree. I explain to people that read less than one book a year that you have to read a lot, every day. Or that you're going to have to change your lifestyle to balance out the negative health effects of sitting for 9+ hours. Then they ignore me and get Security+ and complain no one wants to hire them. I should just send this article in the future.

I'm sorry, but honestly fuck Meta. Conducting psychological experiments on users without consent, and enabling psyops from organizations like Cambridge Analytica, is enough for me to never use their services. I hope they implode as a company. I happily said no when people from meta approached me on LinkedIn.

I can tell you from experience that the cloud architects are world class and it's actually the data techs that are the problem. Amazon doesn't value data center techs, they don't pay competitively and hire techs that barely have enough skill so they can pay them nothing. Then they metric the fuck out of the teams so that everyone focuses on quick fixes instead of taking the time to troubleshoot long-term persistent issues. Couple this with the fact that management is only concerned with creating new capacity instead of fixing existing capacity.

Not sure if you know, but "ownership" isn't a word or concept that Amazon invented. I'd like to add that Amazon isn't the first company to have leadership principles. From my experience, the only people that actually believe this crap are people that haven't been exposed to this sort of corporate propaganda in the past. Taking responsibility for a project, seeing it to completion, and following a standard is the right thing to do; not just an Amazonian thing to do.
