Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Yeah, I would hate to be in this position... I'd hate to be a military contractor close to any of this right now.

The whole thing makes me feel sick.

I like to think of it as listed in order. Oath to the Constitution sits above the oath to the president.

Having to disobey an order is never a trivial matter, though.

Thank you for your service.

You can request a judge advocate to clarify the legality of an order... not that it's usually an option in real time, or even reasonable, but it's a thing.

I feel for the people in this position who have to think "on the spot" about whether what they are doing is legal. It's hard for sure.

Yeah I don’t think her principles are that strong to begin with. She got her feels hurt and can’t handle it that’s all. Good riddance I say.

It’s just like when I ask my 10 year old if she did something wrong and she gets super defensive, I know she’s hiding something.

So yeah, he’s like a child being exposed of their mischief… 😏

DOGE is officially disbanding 8 months ahead of schedule, right as MTG, chair of DOGE oversight, announced her resignation. DOGE cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars & is estimated to have caused the deaths of 300k children. Who’s going to answer for this?

A little bit of humility can go a long way!

When I learned to separate my personal value from my performance at work, I was able to deflate my ego and work in a much more productive manner.

To be brutally honest it was a process, but I'm a better developer having gone through it. (YMMV)

The most successful startup I worked at embodied this type of thinking. Removing waste, adding value, focus on one thing and do it well, lots of daily collaboration, white boarding, paired programming. Heavy emphasis on user feedback (surveys, analytics, customer support).

Well said.

Agreed.

There are many ways to increase the number of features released without drastically sacrificing quality. However, these approaches often entail other costs (security, scalability, longevity), so it's still a trade-off.

Facebook also decided that "red tape" on any system was a bad idea. That's why they found themselves with over 16 thousand engineers having nearly unrestricted access to personal user data. I don't think they are unique for this (from experience), but it's a nasty side effect (IMO).

Trump’s DOGE disbands early despite 2026 mandate The Trump administration has quietly dissolved DOGE, its Department of Government Efficiency, eight months before its mandate ended, despite initial promises to reduce government spending and federal ...

DOGE is no more!

Yeah it gets pretty tricky when you are in a chair and have to decide to “press the button” in real time.

It’s safe to say that when you disobey an order you should be certain, and that’s what causes so many issues.

Still there are people that specialize in this type of defense.

A judge advocate can be consulted to clarify if an order is legal. Obviously this may not always be available or reasonable in certain circumstances. Refusing an order that is legal is a violation that can lead to many different consequences including a court martial. See article 92 for more…

On the matter of telling troops not to follow “illegal orders,” I heard from a Vietnam veteran friend of mine…

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare

It's interesting to me that wearing a mask to protect one's health is seen as an infringement of rights by the same people who wear masks to hide their identity. 🤔

man, anyone who says elections don't matter....

They are selfish self serving assholes. Only when it impacts them will they consider it was wrong.

Even then, some will just find a scapegoat (It’s Bidens fault somehow). 🤦

Very nice work, Jake! I love the gradient made by the sun behind the planet. 🤩👍

Heck yeah!

Support the Texas Democrats that are fighting back for people’s right to vote and keep it fair. Thanks, Brian!

It’s awesome to see some of the democrats fighting back. More of this please 🙏
