  • My high school teacher never liked me and most of the time she ignored me and the times she didn’t, looked at me like I’m a loser.

    I didn’t do very well on the big exams (similar to sat) and after few tears I served in the army, I did some courses to raise my grades.

    These exams happen to be in my high school with all the 12th graders, and so I was sitting there and waiting for the exam to start and then I saw her peaking from the door after years I didn’t see her.

    She got in and called my name with a huge smile on her face saying “I knew I would see you here some day”.

    I’ll never forgot this mean smile and I have to say, this smile really helped me on hard times at the university. It kept me motivated.

    This was 13 years ago and today I have a bs.c. In computer science and working at as technical team lead in a big software company, managing engineers.

    I sometimes remembering this and smile to myself. I don’t think she knows what I’m doing today, but the fact that I know I made it, gives me comfort










  • Your notion is just wrong. First of all engineers can’t push back on something like this. They can try to push back on stuff that might be wrong for the product, that is not performant or potentially break stuff, but not on something that can make the company so much money. If this is the roadmap, they must align, they are being paid (tons of money) to implement the company’s vision.

    Second of all, you are looking at this as a consumer perspective. They are part of the company and most likely heavily invested in it. And if such thing will increase the company’s revenue, it will icrease theirs too. They won’t feel bad trust me, they know where they are and what they’re doing.





  • No body knows him but I yesterday I went to the pharmacy and asked the pharmacist where do I get a ticket for the line. Some old guy behind me said its over there, I said thanks and went to get it. When I got back, I saw that the person who answered me was a very famous guy in my country, who hosted talk shows and have multiple gold record from the eighties and now run commercials.

    That was wild to me lol


  • I started using bitwarden half a year ago and this is what I did. But once again moved, I Figured it worth nothing if I have weak and shared passwords across apps and sites. so eagrly I changed all the password on accounts that hold my financing details (bank, google, PayPal, etc…) and then lazily, every time I had to go to a site like lemmy for instance I changed it on the way
