Low ethics high pay? Higher margins from lower ethics?

At some point does complacency with scammers become racketeering or criminals conspiracy? Knowledge is an element of crime and they know people are being scammed yet look away from it.

These are great examples. I'll add one more. Object names and metadata definitions. Figuring out what the official name for something is across systems, where to define the source of truth, and who maintains it.

How much would you pay? Why not hire an actual human driver?

What if it's circular, or cyclical?

We don't know empirically what came before the beginning.

We have slack integrated with glean and anyone in the company can do this, not just managers.

It also has access to our internal wikis, GitHub, and other internal tools.

That's sneaky. Do any code scanners check for that class of vulnerability?

Scanning for external dependencies is common but not so much internal private libraries.

> Nobody is bringing a sawzall into the gym while it's open.

They are bringing in bolt cutters to locker rooms. The locker metal loop that the lock threads through is easier to cut than the lock. I've first hand seen lockers destroyed to remove the lock. Not while the break in is happening but it's easy piece the crime scene back together to understand their tools.

Manual bolt cutters are almost silent except for the "thunk" when it breaks the metal, and there are even battery operated bolt cutters that are quick and compact.

Imo the term layoff used to mean something different. Getting rid of "dead wood" should be a firing, not a layoff.

Layoff is "this division or project is a dead end or not aligned with strategy and we are shutting it down, and don't have other spots to place everyone"

It was still niche. Government is slow to react and is paid off by lobbyists and more recently outright bribes..

Time for me to go all in on Linux. Ubuntu has been my daily driver on dual boot with windows since MS started using dark patterns to opt in to OneDrive.

My next build will be solo boot!

My work machine is a Mac though I don't get any say in that.
