today on how to tell a king his plan is stupid in the Warring States:

(The King of Wei wanted to attack the capital of a rival nation. One of his citizens said to him: ) So, a funny thing happened on my way here. I was at the Great Crossing, and I saw a guy heading due north. He said to me: "I'm going to Chu!"

I said to him, "Sir, if you mean to make for the southern kingdom of Chu, how are you going to get there heading north?"

He said, "I've got a good horse." Sir, no matter how good your horse is, this isn't the road to Chu.

He said, "I can spend whatever it costs." Sir, no amount of money or means can make this the road to Chu.

He said, "My driver's great." Yeah, great at driving you further and further away from Chu! This guy, he really needed to TURN AROUND.

Before I actually got into #localisation professionally, I expected my day-to-day work to be exclusively about translating media from one language to another. Perhaps some consulting here and there.

I had no idea that we are also proofreaders, spreadsheet wranglers, reviewers, style evaluators and general, well, *language service providers*. I thought it was all translation!

It seems so obvious now, but I had no idea before I threw myself headfirst into this career.

We weren’t able to find the right match in the previous round, so we’ve refined this role. We’re now looking for engineers with strong experience building JavaScript and Python libraries, and working in the open. Localization/i18n experience is a big plus.

Fully remote, ideally in Europe, but open to East Coast. Note that Mozilla can only hire in a few EU countries (NL, FI, SE, BE, UK, FR, DE, ES, PL).

OMG, Kagi Translate as "LinkedIn Speak" as a target language 😆

Which apparently translated to "Thrilled to announce that Kagi Translate is officially disrupting the localization space! 🚀 Grateful for the opportunity to leverage "LinkedIn Speak" as a target language. 😆 It’s all about driving impact and fostering global synergy. #Innovation #GrowthMindset #Localization"

(Probably actually just "LLM: Generate me some corporate garbage", but it's very apt)
