End the electoral college
Switch to proportional representation to reduce the two-party lock in
Yeah, that sounds about right - A lot depends on what level you’re at and how “agile” the company you work for is. It’s not wasted per se - Most of the time other engineers build on your work, usually as bugs are found or the feature evolves. But yeah, products (and companies) also will die off.
Code merely solves a given problem at a given time. It’s not meant to last forever. Rejoice in the knowledge and mastery you have gained instead.
Fighting among ourselves? You started it… ;-) I tried to debate you on facts and opinions. You made it personal in the response. Good one.
And yes, I do have a job. I work for a nonprofit-profit as a Software engineer. But you can guarantee I go “above and beyond”…? You don’t know me at all…
I love replies from people that seemingly only read the first line… Do you think your idea is so perfect it cannot be debated? Your ad-hominem response suggests so, and that makes you just as much of a snowflake as the rest of the red-hatted MAGA twats that are supporting this kind of shit.
I know you also probably didn’t read this far, but I’ll deal with points you raise anyway.
I don’t know to what “day” you are referring that people held their employers accountable…? Are you suggesting that thousands of Microsoft Engineers, Designers and Admin should leave the company because one of their shareholders is named in the Epstein files? Sure, there have always been those brave enough to stand against the masses and criticize. There always will be, but they are the minority and it’s a lot less common than you think.
And if you think you are one of those, go ahead: Spur on the masses to greater change. But “ditching microsoft products” isn’t going to change anything unless everyone does it and good luck with that.
Major social change is required. If you want to focus your anger on anyone, focus it on the Pedo in Chief.
I disagree.
Sure, stop buying Microsoft products because they’re shit. But beyond that? If revenues drop, they’ll fire half of the staff before they fire Gates. Besides, if they do fire him, what’s he gonna do? Buy a private island probably. Put another way, this would hurt average, working people far more than Gates.
I guess Microsoft are partly to blame. It’s not a good look is it? But, he’s also not be tried or found guilty so they’re not entirely at fault.
Instead focus your anger: Get out there and ask why he’s not been investigated? Why the people in power are seemingly closing ranks around this - are they all guilty? Vote for a progressive viewpoint that favors holding the ultra-rich accountable in all ways - legally, financially and morally
I get that you’re angry. What these people are accused of doing is truly evil. But take that anger and use it for something with consequence.
