It's an indication of economic retraction.

Traditional Saudi Arabian architecture is based around keeping things cool. Like the high walls in this building complex keep everything in the shade, and retain the coolness from the night as much as possible (because hot air rises, the cool air stays in the building). At the same time, it still allows natural light which overall makes a very comfortable effect.

Having a line allows you to enforce hierarchy. The people at one side will never want to go to the other side, that's where the lower class people are.

Even when you talk about users, it's only to dismiss them.

I don't understand what people are doing that they need to summarize Jira tickets. They usually aren't very long...

Oh good point, it explains why the article feels so wanderingly pointless.

I think if my coworkers were writing Jira tickets that were too unreadable, I would ask them to write shorter tickets.

It is surely meaningful that a leadership council and directors got funding before the people who were actually doing the work maintaining the code.

I should have said "the financial industry."

Who said that engineers love indispensable things?

My observation is that engineers like well-engineered things. I've never heard any engineer anywhere say they like indispensable things. What was the source of information, Gemini?

I'll be happy if we make it through the next three years without a world war.

In the post-chat-gpt world, if you want to SEO, you need to write for chat-gpt.

Seems you don't care about users either. There is nothing in your post that shows you even thought about them. You're not an engineer, you're just an asshole.

Engineers think about user requirements.

Wow, just take a statistics class. You are embarrassing yourself.

If done correctly, the inclusion of Rust wouldn't break anything. And yet here we are.

Clearly things are not being done correctly (ie, with established engineering practices). If he actually had an engineering license, it would be revoked because of decisions like this.

Breaking architecture to improve parsing security on files that are almost always received from a trusted source is really a horrible choice. It's saying, "Fuck you" to those users.

The engineering decision is made worse by the fact that making a fallback to support those platforms would be simple, and is already mostly implemented. It's a bad enough decision that I'd have to say the person who made it is not an engineer, he's just an asshole.
