Brazilians are living in sin. I will never accept their existence.
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 1 day ago:
I can get behind that. Even more frequently perhaps. Its insane that for a task as dangerous as driving, once you pass at 18, you don’t get re-tested until you kill someone…
I have to do anti-sexual harassment training every year for work, communication/math/logic refreshers once a year would actually be a lot more beneficial.

Your last paragragh describes a leader…
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 2 days ago:
Agreed, those arent high level manager decisions, but they aren’t intern decisions either. They’ll be made by a mid level manager or team lead.
The higher up the chain, the less technical and more general the decisions get, but they do still need to have some level of technical understanding, or the direction they point you in could be completely detached from reality.
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 2 days ago:
The direction a company should go in is a technical decision. It has to come from a leader of some kind, and if that leader is non technical or disconnected from the employees, that’s how you get poor decisions.
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 2 days ago:
All your examples involve teams, and teams don’t typically happen without some form of leadership from someone. An expert without leadership skills will be far less effective at building a team around them than someone with the expertise and the leadership skills.
The expert your describing in your last paragragh IS a leader. If they aren’t being compensated as such, thats just them being exploited, and they need to advocate for more appropriate compensation.
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 2 days ago:
At the end of the day, a single person can only do so much work. All the experience in the world doesn’t change that there is only 24hrs in a day.
A good leader can enable a team of people to work together achieving more than the sum of their individual contributions.
Leaders are force multiplier, and good ones should be compensated as such.
Sadly, we also over compensate the shitty leaders far too often as well :/
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 2 days ago:
Ideally you want a balance of both, pure people skills ends with poor technical decisions, pure technical ends with inability to get the other employees on board.
- Comment on In Hollywood why do all actors and such have fake names besides their own? How do they come up with them? If I went to hollywood could i make up something like Don Dickle Pickle Wiggler? 2 weeks ago:
My apologies, I didn’t mean to imply anything about you personally, only that your Hollywood name would make some funny headlines.
- Comment on Is it ideal to renounce citizenship if moving abroad permanently? 2 weeks ago:
Australians abroad can vote by mail or at their nearest consulate. No need to renounce your citizenship.
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 3 weeks ago:
If you were in the EU, right to be forgotten laws would help, but I guess you are not.
But that is definitely a good reason to name change, it would be a problem for job interviews :/
- Comment on I'd like to change my last name and want suggestions 3 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t a “zany” last name become just as identifiable as your current unique name?
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Could just call them bins and no one would care…
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Swapping github (MS) for bitbucket (Atlassian) is a completely sideways move. Atlassian will fuck you just as hard as MS will.

- Comment on What happens if an instance gets down? 2 months ago:
I don’t believe there is a way to transfer posts. You could probably create a bot that scrapes and recreates them, but all the original users would be lost. Best to just start from scratch, nothing here needs to be permanent anyway.
- Comment on What happens if an instance gets down? 2 months ago:
You go to the new instance, create an account and create the community.

That’s a bit more than docs for a mouse, that’s technical documentation for a chip…
