You'll wish you ignored this line of reasoning.
Lots of people don't like to hire those anymore.
I hired in at one place, was informed afterwards that it was only because they were so desperate that they hired me despite my demographics. Was reminded repeatedly on my sins of being a white male.
Absolutely nothing of value was accomplished. By the time a person started to get decent at Kubernetes and frontend and backend and support they would find a better job with more realistic expectations.
So we basically we were paying people to learn for a year, then they would leave.
One party rule. Anyone that disagrees with the party is silenced.
America was in the unique position of ending the world with no mainland damage.

Getting rid of oil is the goal of the current Administration. They are having some success by making it difficult as possible.
Now we have a huge mess from it and elections are coming up, so goal is to blame oil for the problems caused by the Administration.
If you want to get off oil because you believe it's bad for environment. That is a respectable position. But there is a huge political price to pay when the poor in the country are suffering now from it.
Turns out you still did really well.

Eventually found LDN and that stopped the pain.
I was constantly pushing doctors to try alternate treatments so I can deal with actual issue rather then take pain meds. They had no interest. Took me 3 years to finally get a prescription to LDN, which finally worked for me.
Ir maybe the Newtype are people that evolved to thrive in oxygen rich environment. :)
We broke lease and moved out. Made it impossible to get into anyplace decent since we had abandoned the lease and refused to pay them to get it off our record.
Surprisingly lawyers were completely useless. Unless a doctor certifies that gas caused medical issues they won't touch the issue.
Screw mega rental companies.
Any test can make use of what is in that database. So you tend to put a bunch of stuff that is useful for most tests.
If a specific test needs an unusual setup, then it can do whatever is needed to load data. Generate data, load extra fixtures, etc. You can do this on a per test basis, or a group of tests, etc.
An option is to reload everything between each test. Not recommended.
Normal usage is to rollback any changes a test did, so that each test has a clean slate. This tends to be plenty fast. Parallelism can usually be done.
If speed is still a concern, you can get fancy and load up multiple databases with fixtures and divide tests between them. Maybe have 2-8 sets of tests running at same time.
It's been a few years, but I've inherited test suites that take 14 hours and been able to get them down to a few minutes with above techniques.
Something like Guard can be setup to automatically run tests relevant to what you're working on. So you don't have to run full suite each time.
Management can ignore for a few years. Rebooting things isn't too hard. But then the issues that could be ignored can't be anymore. Eventually you get sold for the intellectual property or customer base.
Transaction is started. Run Test 1 Transaction rolled back. (quick)
Test 2 can be run without the expensive fixtures.
Repeat for all tests.
Use transactional fixtures as much as possible. Minimal db usage between tests.
All of the major performance problems at scale I've dealt with came down to a super giant table that keeps getting locked.
Listen to Ben Shapiro or other view points for awhile to a better perspective. He has been screaming about inflation for awhile now. Really go out on on a limb and read up on Thomas Sowell.
Was awesome for Warcraft 2. Back before battle.net
If there are no consequences, then a percentage of the population will go nuts.
I've had a few young kids ask about going to California to get toys since you don't have to pay for them there. In their mind it's a great deal. Explaining that it's wrong even though you get away with it is awkward.
Lesson learned, get a lawyer at the start.
Work hard, plan smart. Make money. Keep your own money and build wealth. High taxes and regulation stop that.
Welfare creates dependence on government and destroys morale. Why work hard if you get free money? Oh you decided to get a job to earn a bit. Let's cut off all your welfare so you're stuck forever.
Guns are two fold. * Do you have the right to defend yourself? * Keeping government from getting too out of control.
China is locking people into buildings, letting them starve to death. Anyone that disagrees is silenced or disappeared. They have death camps where they are committing genocide and using them for cheap organ harvesting. If those people had a 2nd amendment then much of that nonsense wouldn't be possible.
49 senators just voted to allow a 9 month old baby thats half way out to be killed. Anyone that supports this or votes for someone that does is just plain evil.
Unlike reddit where people are in a cult mindset. Anything remotely against the grain will get dozens of downvotes in seconds. Outright lies by the left get thousands of upvotes. Want 5,000 points? Just bash Trump in world news.
I'm finding more and more that company meetings are open grounds to bash white males. Particularly any straight and / or Christian ones. The people that preach inclusiveness are the most bigoted people I know.
Nothing like having co workers explain to me how reluctant they were to hire me based on race. Only that there were desperate for someone that could actually do the job.
Decades spent trying to treat everyone fair and equal is now out the window and you're called a racist for doing so.
