This is probably an incredibly stupid, off-topic question, but why are their database schemas and logs in English?

Like, when a DeepSeek dev uses these systems as intended, would they also be seeing the columns, keys, etc. in English? Is there usually a translation step involved? Or do devs around the world just have to bite the bullet and learn enough English to be able to use the majority of tools?

I'm realizing now that I'm very ignorant when it comes to non English-based software engineering.

Yep, wish my employer saw this the same way. I (mid/senior level IC) have unintentionally found myself responsible for breathing down the neck of a flagrant remote non-worker.

Very frustrating as someone who doesn’t really want to be a manager. Feels gross to say, but this field (and beyond?) needs to be better at recognizing who can/can’t be trusted with remote work. Not sure what the answer is though, because I sure as hell don’t want more egregious surveillance and/or a more PIP-happy employer.

Your bomb analogy sounds like the modern military industrial complex…

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I’ve never found myself in a situation where venv did not do exactly what I needed it to do.

There’s still room for my HAM radio, right?
