I just watched the talk "Expecting Professionalism" by "Uncle Bob Martin." Weirdly enough, the video starts with him talking randomly about climate change: https://youtu.be/HD0L3lQ9cms?si=4w-QrligmAiujHia

And while he did not really state it, it sounded a little bit like he is denying the fact that our climate changes too fast and that that's human-made.

Am I paranoid, or is he actually a climate change denier?

We've been conditioned to police tone over substance, to value the appearance of decorum over actual #competence or #character. We've let the people with power redefine #professionalism to protect themselves while weaponizing it against everyone else.

Confessions of a Software Developer: No More Self-Censorship

I haven't published since April because I've been afraid. I also avoided social media, news aggregators, and discussion forums for months. I'm done letting fear stop me. What was I afraid of? In this post I detail every single thing I've avoided admitting on this blog. […]

Rudeness isn't strength - it's a mask for insecurity. Professionals must champion civility, empathy, and genuine communication in an increasingly aggressive social landscape. True power lies in understanding, not domination. #Professionalism #Leadership

My trust in AI took a serious dent today! I was relying too much on automated translations, and almost let a significant error slip through. It's a stark reminder of the potential pitfalls of blindly trusting technology and the impact on professional credibility.
A humbling lesson learned. 😳
