The part that I hate most is having to reconcile that for the next four years this asshole is going to find ways to benefit me as an older white male while simultaneously destroying me as a human.

Mandating RTO because "effective collaboration can only happen in-person" is such an embarrassing self-own for leadership in 2024. If you can't manage a remote or hybrid team in this era, what are you even doing managing people or a business to begin with?

It reminds me of the time, around 2005-ish when I was working for the federal government, and they banned chat/IM tools - not because of security risk - but because "devs were spending too much time chatting and not coding."

If your effectiveness as a leader is 100% coupled with the physical location of your employees, why should I trust you as a leader? If you are ineffective at leading remote workers, why is that a workers' problem and not a leadership failure?

The first two turned out to be utter bullshit.
So was the third until for some fucked up reason we created social media to make it real.

There is a restaurant in Yakima, Washington called New York Teriyaki that sells sushi and has a 4.8 rating. I have not yet decided how this information is going to effect my evening.

In CrowdStrike's defense, anyone who has ever worked with RegEx knew that someday, somehow, it would be responsible for the end of the world.

This is the first time I've ever seen a company live-stream a public incident retrospective. Props to @Azure here. youtube.com/watch?v=APiK8C7z…

20 Assume your systems are simple and fail for simple reasons.
30 Determine the root cause of your simple system failure.
40 Repair your root cause with a permanent fix.
50 GOTO 10
