The theory is something like this:

Israel wants to control the middle east.
Epstein is a Mossad agent.
Epstein controlled the US politicians (especially Trump).
Epstein is still alive (alternately, there are other agents like Epstein).
That is the real reason why the US attacked Iran and everyone else is sheeple.

Fortunately, Trump can't win another term.

Watergate? Iran Contra?

Mossadegh was one very small part in a long sad history of modern Iran.

Smart.

Any new regime will be more likely to choose America as an ally than Russia. That will grant them market access etc that allows them to grow economically, but also will come with pressure to not be a dictatorship. The current Syrian regime is perhaps an example.

No LOL. This is an extremely ignorant statement. There's a reason that Venezuelans were celebrating the capture of Maduro.

For a while Chavez was great (and Bush should not have gotten rid of him), but over the years his popularity waned and Chavez/Maduro have needed to rely on rigged elections to win. This is widely documented, learn to read.

This video is a decent introduction to the various power players in Iran and how they got there. It's really understandable and appropriate that Iran would want to defend itself especially after being invaded so many times,

Of course, every Iranian has different backgrounds, and supports/opposes/is indifferent for their own reasons. Some celebrating, some protesting.

There is some (click through to original sources) polling available but it's not as high quality or broad spectrum as one would like, so the margin of error is huge given the various sectors of society.

This video is a decent introduction to the various power players in Iran and how they got there. It's really understandable and appropriate that Iran would want to defend itself especially after being invaded so many times, but the approach the took to defending themselves antagonized everyone around them. Constantly shouting "death to America" is not the beginning of a good strategy.

Maybe or maybe not, but Iran managed to provoke most of the gulf state kingdoms by hitting them with drones and missiles.

Incidentally, if Iran becomes democratic, the gulf state Kingdoms will suddenly become the worst dictatorships in the region. Not a great change for them.

I don't understand why the Nobel committee wouldn't give him the prize. /s

Once you remove everything stupid in that movie, there's nothing left. Even if you just want to watch light saber fights, the actors clearly didn't train very much.

If they ever get around to making the sequels, I would go watch them.

It's not helpful to describe software as "the right way" or "the wrong way."

Instead, focus on finding "something that works" and avoiding "things that don't work" (and of course, "working" can include the requirement of code being readable, flexible, etc). There is never exactly "one right way." There are always several ways that work and are fine.

At work this is no big deal.

Just create a Jira ticket for each bug found, assign the minimum of one story point to each ticket, then spend ten minutes (or an hour) checking it out. If it's a real bug, create another Jira ticket for fixing it (you need to have a meeting to discuss priorities, of course, so don't fix it right away). If it's not a real bug, close it and Voila, a free story point. If it's a duplicate, close it anyway (not marked duplicate, that will take extra work and waste your time) and Voila, another free story point. (If you do need to verify that it's a duplicate, be sure to create a Jira ticket for verifying that it's a duplicate. Don't do any work that is not logged!)

I figure that including meetings, you can get around 60 story points a week just by looking at AI tickets. Adjust the number based on how many you need that sprint. Your manager will be happy, velocity is skyrocketing because of AI!

Of course in the real world, this strategy isn't great.

A lot of incompetent programmers got hired, the kind who not only can't produce elegant code, but also can't recognize it.

The result was managers started micromanaging them.

At these companies, the managers won, the rest of us suffer. At these companies, productivity is down (even if "agile velocity" is up), but they'd rather have control than productivity.
