Senior Engineering Director. Sometimes I talk about making software for government. Random explosions of gopher sports and shit posts. Pasquale rhymes with trolley.

If you're an engineering manager or thinking about becoming one, this episode is really good at talking about the things that happen and how your job changes.

I listened to this on my run today and it was incredibly affirming for me I stopped coding as a manager almost 5 years ago This conversation about that part of being a manager was fantastic The whole episode was just wonderful to hear at a time I've been worried "am I really an engineer anymore?"

Honestly, I think a lot of politicians on both sides of the Atlantic got psyoped into viewing salt of the earth bigots as more authentic and worthy than them and thinking therefore they must ritually cleanse their sin of education by rolling in the gutter.

We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.

This one was more, "I have to resign because I'm legally responsible for the fallout and I'm not falling on the sword for these fuckers" He resigned, but he didn't want to. His letter of resignation was pretty detailed about the why, as well as the extra bullshit that made it a hostile environment
