Aside from the painter's tape on the outside that didn't turn out half baaaad?

#WritersCoffeeClub May 17. If you work exclusively digitally, could you work by hand? (Or vice-versa!)
Without a shadow of a doubt I could. I have taken to using markdown for everything of late, so switching to a typewriter would be less difficult than when I relied on word processors. And it would be “decipherable” in the future. As for handwriting, all drafts are paper and #FountainPen

P.S., dont know if the text is slop, or just enigmatically written. Use your best judgment.
P.P.S., Supposedly the developer has boasted that the site was slop-generated. May I recommend https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ instead?
@rl_dane @dalias @[email protected] @inata @khm I worked at Google (in Dublin) one year from September 2013 to September 2014. It was a very welcoming place where engineers were respected, in contrast to any job I previously had in France; my teammates were very friendly and smart and committed to making Web search work (it was before the quality drop), and I have nothing but respect for them and their work ethic.
But there was already some cognitive dissonance between what everyone was saying ("once you're in, you can know everything about the company") and the reality ("we don't talk about the policies deciding what is hosted in Ireland datacenters and what isn't, and it's definitely not about tax evasion"). And it was during this year that they dropped the "Don't be evil" motto. There was a feeling of unease in the tech workers, a general apprehension to the new stuff that was increasingly coming from the top. But everyone rationalized it and convinced themselves that it was okay. I did that too. It's incredibly difficult to question what your salary depends on not questioning.
I'd like to pretend I left for ethical reasons, but I'd be lying: in reality, I burned out. Once out, I started noticing more and more things that told me leaving had been the right move. And most importantly, I shook the cognitive dissonance off and realized how working for Big Tech (and making pretty good money) could warp my mind, and wondered if it was the case for everyone still inside.
I think 2015 was the turning point for Google, more or less; probably not the moral event horizon yet, but getting close. Google contacted me again in 2019, trying to reel me back in, and I sent them an open letter that went a little viral. https://skarnet.org/text/google.html
They didn't call me back afterwards. 😅
(Edit: it was in 2019 that they contacted me again, not 2017!)
