> People from the US really need to get out of that bubble. Maybe you live in a smaller bubble. India: "Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, a 69-year-old American, has been elected as…

It’s the same in English. There was supposed to be a comma between both words because they’re coordinate adjectives.

It's incredible that a term was coined in the 19th Century to describe demonstrable hatred toward Jews, that the term was happily adopted and popularized by people who hated Jews, …

These things can add value, but no one needs a new hire to point that fact out. I'm also skeptical that a freshly hired IC's values will align with business values, even though the…

What's more likely: a team of equally experienced engineers is waiting on a new hire to identify and fix significant blind spots or a team just needs more bandwidth to get things d…
