AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."

A company that demands engineers do their job badly unless given permission to do it well is going to end up with the software it deserves.

When a “stand up” involves people working on different goals/projects reporting their status, that is just a status meeting.

Any change is an excuse to change

Whelp, this is horrifying.
