Look at the authors own example, if you want to change the number of iterations in the loop or edit a type, you can do that practically instantly. Does this come at the cost of readability? Perhaps. This is also probably subjective and for the author the cost is apparently too great.
Always be looking to take your ego out of the situation. You are there to facilitate the success of the team it’s individual members.

For local hot button issues the best a company can do is act locally on those issues and in line with local law and legislation. But what really matters to a global company is what its global potential client base thinks and this will trump local issues if they cant be accomadated.
If you truly believe that then I feel sorry for you, because you live in a really sad world. Is that really the experience you have living in or visiting these countries or travelling around them, that 1 in 2 people you meet are racist?
I think its a bit lazy and easy to substitue fringe views from within these two camps as the views of the majority.
If you agree that they are not the views of the majority of peoplpe who voted in these directions then clearly there are other areas that made them vote this way that could have been discussed and had there minds changed over but werent, because well racist. Everyone loves to complain that trump supporters and brexiters suffer from a lack of critical thinking, and especially conspiracy theorists, but come on. How lazy is it to say all these people are/were racists or that is why brexit/trump won.
If you force them underground you have no idea how prevalent the ideas are, nor do you have any oportunity to genuinely change peoples minds. You cant address a problem you are not aware of.
How about we just make machines that last instead of having to be replaced all the time.
That said I think people are blowing this way out of proportion, the point of your business trip should not be to do work on your laptop during the flight.. Surely you are making the trip to do something important and relevant on the other side. If your company wants you in a meeting on Monday morning on the other side of the Atlantic then I am sorry but not being able to use your laptop on a flight has nothing to do with the business justification for your trip. God forbid you actually get a break from working 24/7 on your flight. Why are people complaining about this..
