It was fun to work on and find all the edge cases along the way.
No interesting discussions ever. Just axes being sharpened and people who dislike it taking the opportunity to gloat. I would characterize the pro crypto people but I don’t see any. Which is said because over the last 5 years I have found crypto, bitcoin, and stable coins to be extremely useful when helping family members in emerging markets.
But hey it’s all trash, the west doesn’t need it so let’s all dance on its grave.. i guess we will keep dancing for another 15 years.
They believe people hate Americans and everyone should be ashamed traveling overseas. As someone who travels all the time to multiple continents not just Europe i have never encountered anyone who asked or even cared. Most people don’t live in a political bubble where they need to stop being friends with people over politics.
Anyway a lot people are choosing to live in an angry little bubble. It is really sad to see.
Unfortunately what i see happen all the time is quick fixes are pushed to the infra. For example they deploy and typo the URL. Now we have a prod outage and infra is pulled in to fix this asap. No time to wait for that 10 minute deploy pipeline that requires all the tests to run and a deploy to dev.
This happens once and then infra is asked why we don’t already redirect all URLs. Management doesn’t care about security and they just lost money. Guess what you are doing now. This is the world we live in.
Im done with it and a lot of others are also.
These statements are the exact same thing to me.
I see for china some into about random offsets but couldn’t find anything else.
I know it’s hard to imagine for the west but places exist where working around the local financial system is a huge benefit.
