This, plus yearly mandated healthchecks with huge pressure and shame on excessive weight.

Do you have any references?

This argument keeps popping up as if every engineer was exactly the same, which is simply not true. High quality talent is expensive, hard to recruit, hard to keep. High salary is …

> and leadership asks why you weren't logging everything in full fidelity? I haven't been asked this question ever. In a way, I wish I was. I wish leadership was engaged in the det…

That's an unfortunate and charged statement that misrepresents what I said. A fundamental aspect of science is rigor. And a fundamental aspect of democracy is opposition.

Not every form of discrimination is the holocaust. It is very important to not be extreme when dealing with human ignorance. For mild cases of discrimination, especially those comi…
