The oil production there is completely decimated. They have huge reserves but production is low and falling because the regime doesn't do any maintenance or support of anything in the oil production and supply chain. It is very much the meme of "living in the ruins of a once great society".
this mirrors my experience, but it doesn't give much actionable advice and probably only rings true to those who have experienced the same motions. "You only know your project shipped if your leadership acknowledges it". Yes ok great, how do you get their attention. I think this piece could be more easy to understand and influential if the author included a specific IRL project as a case study instead of having a bit of memoir about the vibes of their experience.
Peloton Bike. I bought it for my wife and thought, I've never been an indoor spinner person. I thoughth I would hate it, and now I ride it 240 minutes/week. I've lost 25 lbs in 4 months, I sleep like a baby and I have more energy and focus when I'm awake. The threshold energy needed to hop on the bike is much lower than the threshold energy needed to go to the gym so I just do it way more frequently. Strong endorse.
