Just a head's up for everyone using the #VicPol hashtag:

The generally accepted hashtag for Victorian (Aus) politics is #SpringSt, as VicPol has connections to Victoria Police

@mjg59 I appreciate the entertainment factor here but i suspect you may be putting too much effort into proving the world’s most obviously terrible engineering manager is a bad engineering manager

There's a link floating around to a thread of all the crazy phone designs before the era of smartphones. What a simpler time that was, but for all the crazy designs that existed, 2003-2007 was the golden age of phone designs, where every brand and model had personality, rather than being the same basic formula. In some ways I miss those days.

The current round of layoffs in the tech space should be a lesson in sustainable hiring rather than "grow our headcount and VCs will throw cash at us" but I fear it won't. Those responsible for the current mess don't care about the people whose lives they're destroying in the process.
