Comment on When I'm being interviewed and someone tells me they are passionate about diversity

Surely, there are tech companies, that may not be as big as MS, but which have really interesting positions ? Maybe in machine learning or robotics or self driving. Even if you don't get into Tesla, there's a lot of competition in that market - Uber, Waymo, GM etc.

Heart? Passion? Machine Learning? Robotics?
Tell me, how do type out a while loop "passionately"? Americans are just fucking weird.

I am not American. I just wish I was.
Mechanics passionate about their job, will be passionate about fuel lines, gaskets, pressure valves etc. Similarly, I as a programmer am passionate about the nuts and bolts of my job. Passionate programmers dig into the inner workings of loops to see performance differences and use cases, for example lag difference between a million "while", "foreach", "for" loops iterating over dictionaries. Then there are multi threaded loops like parallel "for", "foreach" etc. The differences also differ based on what language you use. I love stuff like this.

Certainly want to, seeing how well Texas, Florida's American values have stood up in these times of crisis. Unfortunately I am no longer single, and family considerations means I cannot move too far, if at all. If Covid fascism got too bad, most I would be able to do is move to Switzerland. That's the closest freedom I can reach.
Yes, you are right. The word's been bastardized, but that's a common usage now.
