I checked the article to see if this was the NULLBULGE folks again, but no, this was reportedly executed by SiegedSec. A different queer furry hacker group.

The real take-away line here was this:
Do you understand the opportunity here? Do you have any idea how thirsty Americans are for any hint of inspiration or leadership and release from this choice of a megolomaniac and a suffocating gerentocricy? It is crushing our fucking spirit! Do you have any idea what could be ahead of you?
A first sign of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die. Am I right, ladies?

Last year, WNYC had an episode of their More Perfect podcast all about Thomas and, more or less, how he got that way.

He also managed to wriggle away from multiple rape charges in Sweden by waiting out the statute of limitations.
Heroes and villains alike have complex legacies.
The fact that this news follows layoffs may not be a coincidence.

12 year SDE + 12 year TPM vet here.
Do everything you can to help your software engineers (or whoever is doing the work) have as much focus time as they need. Buffer your meetings and questions to one chunk of time per day. Encourage them to block-out and protect their focus time. And encourage the team to keep office hours so they can still make themselves available to others, but in a controlled way.
Be transparent with the business’s goals and frustrations you are facing. There’s an attitude (often among inexperienced devs) that PMs are good for nothing; just an interface to the rest of the business, and a source of where tasks come from. And some certainly are that, but a good PM is worth their weight in gold.
Find a good mentor, and start thinking about your next career step now.
You can call out word misuse without necessarily stepping into “mansplaining” territory.
Andrew Callaghan really seems interested in these semi-maligned, culturally misunderstood do-gooder figures lately.
You’ve got this guy. A short while back there was Retro Bill in the DARE Conference video. And Kevin Morse in the Kia Boys film.
This looks to me like not-so-subtle virtue signaling to fans who want to look past his sexual misconduct allegations and just get back to guilt-free consumption of salacious, cool-real-shit Channel 5 content.
I freely admit that Callaghan is dynamite at this genre and he’s comfortably sliding into a huge void that Vice has left behind, so he gets credit where credit is due there. But this doesn’t count for “doing the work” when trying to reacquire the public’s good graces after being a creep. But, you know, he doesn’t have to if he doesn’t want to. There are still thousands upon thousands of people who don’t care about any of that and are happy to let his shit behavior slide if they get to keep seeing cool new videos.
Just a reminder: yesterday (June 4 2024) marked the 35 year anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre.

Look how they massacred my boy…
I worked for Akamai for 7 years.
This is why, if your CDN infra is core to the operation of your business, you make your systems accommodate multi-CDN integration. Cutting one CDN off shouldn’t be significantly difficult, and it comes in handy during contract negotiations. All the major players work this way.
For a progressive, having a fascist opposition party is ultimately detrimental to the non-fascist party as well.
“The good guys” only need to hold the specter of fascism over their constituents’ heads and demand that their voters fall in line, rather than blazing trails for truly progressive ideals. It also ramps down incentives for party politicians to maintain good ethical hygiene (with no legitimate alternative for people to choose from in the event of bad behavior).
At what point do we get to stop holding our collective noses to vote for the lesser of two evils? If we’re talking about the complexity of holding multiple ideas in our heads at one time, why can’t the Biden administration publicly acknowledge that:
Is this really such an abominable idea? If so, why???
I like Bernie and AOC, and I’m thankful for their joy (despite their exhaustion) over growing the progressive caucus. But what’s the plan to grow the movement?
I’m trans and I’m ready to fight. When I volunteered for Biden in 2020 and they had me soft-phone cold-calling voters in swing states to make sure they’d go vote, it was the biggest waste of time I’d ever spent volunteering. Nobody wants a cold call, and even if they did, the latency of soft phones destroys the ability to communicate like a regular human person. Further, being trans, a) my voice is a perpetual betrayal, and b) I acknowledge that my identity is too marginal to be useful to reaching the centrist constituency that they so desperately seek.
So this year I’ll be volunteering in local elections, supporting local leaders who are more aligned to the causes that are important to me. I’m here to support the next Bernie and AOC.
The Biden camp is welcome to go canvas the dying malls and suburbs of the blue USA for help in their re-election army, and honestly I wish them the very best. Good luck with that.
If they want my help (and the help of so many more), I’ll be waiting for them to earn it.
That sucks too – but do stick with it, find a good consultant who can help you polish up your resume and socials. You and me both will find something soon enough. :)
Yeah, tech. Updated my original comment to clarify.
Honestly, the bit from the article that rang most accurate was this:
Lastly, it’s possible that many Americans think the Bureau of Labor Statistics’s job opening figures are overstated. For example, some job seekers have reported encountering “ghost jobs” — listings on job platforms that companies are no longer actively hiring for.
I’ve been keeping track of the roles I’ve gone after (well within qualification for) and I’m seeing a lot of re-listings for roles that closed out my application (with no outreach) and just relisted the req after a few weeks, over and over again.
I’m not saying the listings are fake, but if they were fake, this is pretty much what it would look like from the outside.
I have no earthly clue what world economists are living in where the labor market is great.
I’ve been looking for a job for over a year (in tech, over a dozen years as an SDE, a dozen more as a TPM, lead role in both titles). Whenever I can get an employer to actually respond to the hundreds of applications I send, their salary offerings are a joke.
Are people just out there taking 20% - 30% haircuts on what they make?
That cable management is horrendous. Pull them out.
No wonder I can’t find a TPM job anywhere. The senior devs are doing all my work.
For your hypothetical scenario to make more sense, the US would have had to annex Baja California just a decade prior, then straight up have gone to forward invasion war with Mexico to annex more, bombing the shit out of the country including children’s hospitals.
In that scenario, fuck yes Mexico would be justified in finding allies to help them maintain sovereignty and protect themselves.
That’s what happens when nations invade one another.
