Dont blame developers. It's never developers that make decisions. It's the management, the shareholders, the project manager, the product owner, the whatever-mba-dipshit on top. But never the developers. They just execute and comply and if they refuse, they're let go. A developer is a fleshy code printer. A resource. They don't have real power. They're a factory worker. Remember that. Don't blame the worker, blame the boss.

I know Black Lotus is one of the most (the most) valuable MTG card, but why is that so?

It's a nice card, but not all that extremely powerful or special, is it? Was it just super rare? It's from one of the first series, I believe?

At this point, as a non american, i just cannot comprehend at all why people would doubt on who to vote. Trump fanatics have made up their mind and will never vote Harris, I get that. If you dont like trump, there's only one other option and that's Harris, right?

But is there really a big group of people that actually STILL need to compare candidates and think "not so fast, that trump guy may have a point". What makes them think he is a sane choice? Are these people that voted biden, are disappointed in his presidency and now think "it was better under trump"?

It's not like European countries where you need to choose between like 10 different parties. If you dont like trump, you vote harris; simple as that, right? (Obviously not, so I really want to understand the dynamic in play here)

Ask someone in the north of finland how hot is "very hot", and how cold is very cold. Then ask the same in middle Africa. Spoiler: it will vary alot.

Shit like this doesn't deserve to remain anonymous. Just name the company.

Would it literally? Like hijacked foreign planes flying into buildings? Like invading countries for oil? Literally?

Absolutely my experience too. Every once in a while I give Linux a chance on my personal desktop, only to find it working great.. until it doesn't for whatever reason and I'm left losing minutes to hours figuring out what and how it broke, browsing forums etc etc; usually to great frustration.

I simply cannot afford that kind of nonsense for my work devices. I regularly do and have used macOS for work for the best part of the last two decades and have never, not once, found the system broken or in a state that I needed to fix things after updates. That OS just works. Always. Of course you'll find weird stuff happening in the Apple user forums as well, but in my personal experience Mac OS is rock solid out of the box whereas Linux can be rock solid if you want to invest a lot of time in it. And for work, I cannot.

Thanks man for the elaborate (and honest) answer! You often hear stories about how people just quit their jobs and magically everything will work out for them. It's good to hear a more realistic view!
