I'll never know why google is slow to respond to "android vulnerability" news like the sternus trojan. Clearly the vast majority of users aren't remotely vulnerable. Meanwhile the narrative of android security weakness is reinforced.

I'm realizing that the OE movement is capitalizing on productivity differences between developers that are very real indeed. Questioning the strategy of moving up the responsibility chain for marginal salary improvements.

Pair programmed with a junior today. Realized my salary should be 3 or 4 times more than theirs. Dev salaries are weird.

Love his efforts, but Sen. Murphy should probably lean in to examples of corruption that are more immediately recognizable to US voters.
Murphy: "The president is continuing to act unconstitutionally. He shut down some of our most important programs that protect us abroad, like Radio Free Europe, that were funded & authorized in that spending bill. So it doesn't seem like we have restrained any of the president's lawlessness."

Fact of software engineering: the more definition you give an architecture or tech design the more you will need to smile through big misunderstandings and misguided advice popping up real-time in meetings by people who will never buy into it 100%.

Annoying that Arsenal should be attacking a CB, Calvin Bassey, on a yellow card.
