    If the person I will report to can’t code, I pass on the contract.

    Too many management types are the classic middle management who knows people, but not the tech they manage.

    Also related - I will NEVER take a contract if my report to drives a Mercedes. 101% I will pass on that opportunity. Life’s too short to deal with that type of entitlement. After 30 years in the industry, that single vehicle type is by far, to me, the largest of red flags.

    My secret sexist opinion is: Fill your DBA team with women, lead by a woman, and then just stand back and turn them loose. I absolutely love all female DBA teams because they kick fucking ass always. [edit I’m a cis wm 50s for context]

    Not if, when.

    They are literally using a proven playbook, step by step, play by play.

    We are already in a state of warfare.

    Conservatives are killing our women & our Trans, going after ‘Illegals’, openly attacking the Free Press and our electoral institutions, breaking and ignoring laws left right and center.

    All new facilities will need to be built to hold all the illegals that they want to deport. Then that infrastructure will be turned against the citizenry itself. It’s a proven playbook move.

    And lest we not forget, we support a fascist apartheid genocidal regime such as Israel. If it weren’t for the US, Israel would be wiped off the map already. And by supporting Israel by default we support genocide.

    Just because we aren’t packed out, armed and loaded doesn’t mean we aren’t already at war.

    Things will never be as good as they are Today, everyday, for the rest of most of our lives here in the US.
