It might be helpful to back up your perspective with data, or better frame your argument. As it stands, your comment doesn’t add much to the conversation.

A few things in particular: - Crime is a problem in India. The Wikipedia article has a decent overview (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_India). But so is police and government corruption. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_India) - To call a criminal organization a shadow government is hyperbolic. Similarly calling the romanticizing of crime — a common entertainment trope — a conspiracy, seems a bit much. - The actor you use as an example was convicted for acquiring weapons from people involved with the Bombay Bombings. He was never accused of being involved in the bombings himself (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanjay_Dutt). I’m not sure I follow the accusation of serving the mafia by acting as a criminal in a movie.

I’ve found the opposite with some of the soundtracks of his I’ve paid attention to:

- True Romance: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BA7WTbzqp2o

- Interstellar: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zE-qxNVoUSo

- Little Prince: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PKG_EVEs0Ck

- The Dark Night: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1zyhQjJ5UgY

- Dune: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BdtiYwSP9ko

He’s very prolific (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Zimmer_discography). Is it possible that you recognize just one style of soundtracks that he composes?

Wealthsimple | Backend Engineers (amongst other roles) | Remote or Onsite Canada (we're a remote first company) | Full-time

Our mission at Wealthsimple is to help people achieve financial freedom. Today, we're focused on Canada and we've been growing quickly, and will continue to do so this year. More here: https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/about/work-with-us.

I'm on a platform team that's working on some of the foundational services required to build and grow financial/fintech products (we use Kotlin, Ruby, Postgres, Kafka, and Flink), and we're looking for people to join the team.

I am happy to answer questions (see my profile for my personal email address or email me at ndsouza@wealthsimple.com).

That’s correct. It’s an image from “The Runaway Bunny”. The story has the baby rabbit changing shape to get away from the mother, and the mother changing shape to attract/get the baby rabbit. It sounds a bit violent in description, but it’s not when you read it.

So for example the baby turns to a fish, and the mother starts fishing; or —- and this captures the spirit better —- the baby to a climber and the mother to a mountain.

I actually think if you squint testing is part of observability, except it gives you signal during the development phase. And observability as a concept is fundamental to a reliable system.
