Our industry loves to create problems in the name of innovation only to turn around and sell you a solution to the problem we just created.

Do not give up your brain
It's tempting to just let tools think for you, but you still need to be able to think for yourself and stay sharp.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

It's happened: the trimodal nature of software engineering compensation made it to the Economist!
Disappointingly though, they did not link to the original article (they never do AFAIK), they redraw the image, and do not call it trimodal. Feels like "ripping off" my research, not gonna lie.

When Greta Thunberg was a kid protesting for a cause the powerful could white wash they were all saying how mature she was and how the young will save us all.
Now that she's an adult protesting a genocide they rather ignore she's a kid that doesn't know much.
