But how else can the corporate bureaucracy hold its grip on people otherwise? The metrics are as necessary as catehism for catholicism.

Most of HR processes are pure ideological bullshit. “Personality tests” that are nothing else but “we search for obedient drones and here is our tarot to help” and “intelligence tests” that are based on some racial science bullshit made to prove the inferiority of Jews that might be useful only if you work in a factory of math patterns.

They are not there to ensure efficient production, after all they don’t know shit about the product or internal processes of the teams. They’re a caste of priests whose role is ensuring compliance with the feudal-corporate system.

Not long ago in Poland a pedestrian would have the right of way only after they were already on the crossing. So if you would get killed on a crosswalk that would be classified as intrusion and the driver would go scot-free

I especially love that it was blurry. I shit you not, a blurry popup telling me to switch the search engine like some 2010 malware.

That’s unfortunately simply untrue. You can’t, with a straight face, claim that there is any actual competition to Photoshop, Revit or a myriad of other, non-programming use-cases. It’s easy to use Linux when you’re a developer, it’s almost impossible if you’re an architect. Sure, you can use wine. Good luck, half of photoshop builds are borked. All Revit has garbage rating on wine. You just can’t professionally escape windows if you’re in a wrong profession.
