Okay, but that’s the Recycle Bin tho.

And honestly, that’s more accurate to reddit than Xitter anyway.

To anyone dreading this for real, there are places where you can get ahead as an IC and it’s considered a parallel career track to management. 0 direct reports. Maybe some mentoring, if you want, but that’s it.

You just have to find those places

SasquatchBanana ,

Is IC individual contractor in context?

Contributor. The ceiling is lower though. You get to (senior) principle and that’s the end of code monkey positions usually.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT ,

Typically, but employers are getting wise. They don’t want to lose their best technical talent just because they’re on the spectrum or whatever. Or arguably worse: see them sputter out in a hybrid management/tech role that is more lucrative, but much less impactful than if they’d just stayed tech.

Staff, and architect are two other roles that are sometimes like that. Yet other places will just keep going up levels / pay bands, like eng I, II; senior eng I, II, III, IV, …, VII, etc

Misery

“Misery”, it’s not a hallmark movie lol. It’s a horror movie where the women traps an author in her home through various means that I won’t say so I don’t spoil it.

I prefer to measure speed in football fields per minute.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

You make dem der figures FPH n’ you got a deal. I don’t wanna be going no 600 yards a minute. I wanna be cruisin at 35000 yard and hour, ya hur?

MacNCheezus ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

A mile is about 15 football fields, so if we did switch to using that measurement, we could all be going 1,000 on the freeway.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

Ur gotdang right. My Mopar might be a four banger, but with cheezus behind the wheel we’re gon’ near 1700 n’ gettin 500 a gallon.

Hmmm yeah… I know some of those words.

JPSound ,

As an american, It’s easier when you convert football fields to watermelons and seconds to no healthcare. One you start thinking in terms of watermelons per crippling medical debt, everything clicks. You’re welcome.

MacNCheezus ,

Is this a joke about black people not being able to afford healthcare or something?

JPSound ,

No… Not at all but what gave you that idea? Besides, everyone here enjoys medical debt or an undiagnosed ailment. Sometimes both if you’re lucky.

Beelzebob ,

Watermelon is why. But, dammit, everyone loves watermelon.

Critics assert that funding the mujahideen played a role in causing the September 11 attacks.

What’s with the US funding resistance groups only to have those groups turn their back on US when they finally got in power?

“Blowback” is a CIA term first used in March 1954 in a now declassified report on the 1953 operation to overthrow the government of Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran. It is a metaphor for the unintended consequences of the US government’s international activities that have been kept secret from the U.S. public.[30]

One example of blowback is the CIA’s financing and support for the Mujahideen to fight an anti-Communist proxy guerrilla war against the USSR in Afghanistan. The Mujahideen would later become Al Qaeda which would commit the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Due to the CIA’s function as an anti-communist organization, it typically relies on right-wing groups to achieve its policy goals, either by latching on to and supporting pre-existing anti-communist groups and leaders or helping to create them. This leads to the spread of fascism, terrorism, and increased instability in regions where the CIA has used their influence, even after the CIA has ceased actively using them to achieve specific goals.
