Iran has conflicting values and has never stopped funding groups that violently support their view even when Obama was president so this is a very myopic view to take.
As you say it can be done but it's an anti-pattern to use a message queue as a database which is essentially what you are doing for these kinds of long running tasks. The reason is that their are a lot of state your likely going to want to status as a task runs and persist and checkpoint yes you can carefully string together a series of database calls chained with message transactions so you don't lose something when an issue happens but then you also need bespoke logic to restart or retry each step and it can turn into a bit of a mess.
Gifted programs aren't perfect, simply holding students accountable regardless of gifted status would be better. However skin color seems like the dumbest metric to use to hold these programs accountable and has little to do with students test scores so it's highly doubtful that managing your school based on that is going to have a positive outcome.
Just rank by date needed order on a kanban board and work your way through everything in order. If it's constant fight to meet deadlines it will be clear enough that things are backed up.
I think it has been happening for a while now cancel culture had a very negative effect on academia Jordon Peterson and Warren Smith being examples of that. I much appreciate Dr. Sam Richards who walks the fine line of trying to be centerist but he did comment recently how he does gets hate from both sides. Now I know this is going to be down voted because some will say I am both sidesing this when it's clearly one side right now. This is true I think that's however not a great argument to start a conversation. the founding fathers gave us a great foundation to work with it just takes open dialogue to convince enough of the other side that their is an actual good counter argument. The violence we have seen in the past couple months is only going to entrench positions because each side will want the result of that violence to have been meaningful furthering solidifing the separation. Currently I think American agree on the vast majority of things social media just does it's best to highlight our differences but the average person has mostly the same culture and the same day to day issues so I actually am hopeful.
This is actually a particular pet pieve of mine because I worked with the Camel framework which has a lot of boilerplate in strings but if you start using constants for the common parts you now have an unreadable mess of constants concatenated together that buys you nothing.
This is a trap junior devs fall into DRY isn't free it can be premature optimization since in order to avoid copying code you often add both an abstraction AND couple components together that are logically separate. The issues are at some point they may have slightly different requirements and if done repeatedly you can get to a point that you have all these small layers of abstraction that are cross cutting concerns and making changes have a bigger blast radius than you can intuit easily.
What are some resources for these conventions? As far as I can tell everyone else rolls their own bespoke images based off of of a projects image in order to customize the configuration.
