Great article by Michal Ganzarcik for Shiftmag explaining the nuances of "Just say no" in a career space (Software Development theme, but I believe it applies to work in general).

I especially love the last line under "What's the solution?":

Such a great idea, a short video session with the @InfobipShift organizers for their #ShiftMag where I get just minutes to explain #cloudnative #observability to junior developers, senior developers, and at the CTO level. Fun with #o11y! #chronosphereio

#shiftmag is describing DHH as a "bold contrarian"... He must be taking his clozapine since he identifies cloud and saas as the root of all evil and not "too many blacks and women who are biologically unsuited to computer programming being frogmarched into offices by judeobolsheviks who have infiltrated HR departments".

Anyway, it's nice to see that we can all get along (at least, once the women and blacks are back in their proper place).
