Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

The idea that art has to be the thing you make your living from instead of just being a thing you do to nourish your soul and bring you joy in your non-working hours - this, too, is the death of culture.

Hopefully the appeal is successful. That conviction was such a travesty.

โ€œThereโ€™s no evidence to support this approach to achievement,โ€ agrees Caulfield. โ€œAs opposed to improving outputs, itโ€™s more of a statement of your commitment to the cause.โ€

Every one of those military guys who are stunned that protesters in Minnesota can be organized shoved off the planning for their military unit's family appreciation days or unit morale days to the one female officer or NCO in the unit.

This article was hard to read in that there are so many stories of jaw dropping incompetence, grift, and horrible behavior by FBI leaders.

I was in school with some first gen Hmong immigrant kids in the 80โ€™s and 90โ€™s. Almost of them were born in the US or have become citizens decades ago. Their kids were all born here. They have paid way more in US and Federal taxes than the ICE agents attempting to arrest them. This is so dumb.

On the cross post to threads, an employee there said this has not been his experience at all and they practice blameless postmortems. So the original comment might have misunderstood or is full of ๐Ÿ’ฉ

PS I am the tech lead and I would dominate the leaderboard in prod outages (I have some fun ones ๐Ÿคฃ). But we also have a culture of testing and built in safeguards that allow us to recover quickly and fix anything that happens.

This is absolutely a ๐Ÿคก take on software engineering and outages. It can take a culture of learning from our mistakes to a one of trying to find scapegoats.
