>i was once told "everyone here is replaceable"
Prove it, give me your job right now or I walk.
our boss is one of the good billionairesCompany run by a zombie? 🤔
@prahou it took us a long time to believe it but we're pretty sure we were not, in fact, replaceable. goddess, that fucking company.
we'd encourage anyone reading this to think that maybe you're also important enough that you leaving, does something. if every raindrop took responsibility, there wouldn't be a flood.
The "I write code that kills people" bit is up to interpretation, and means different things to different people, which is what it makes quite the powerful statement, IMHO.
I personally take it quite literally.
Code is written "just" to build detailed profiles of people, "just" for targeting ads or "improving your experience", of course.
Then, code is written "just" to extract and correlate personal data from those and other "benign" databases, surprisingly also very suitable to hunt down, incarcerate, and ultimately kill people of the wrong persuasion.
Code is written to estimate and predict where groups of people gather, how long they stay, and who they likely are. If they are the wrong people, code is written to efficiently decide on a minimal cost solution to the problem of them existing.
Datensparsamkeit saves lives.
Information is being weaponized.
I am ashamed for my craft.
