I don't think it's validation in the sense we normies felt. For regular, sane men it's more of a fitting in and being desirable kind of validation, women do the same in that age.

For him and other powerful people (but also some regular men) it's a power thing. Many powerful people are narcissists, and they live constantly under the dissonance of illusion of grandeur and inferiority complex. Essentially forcing their will onto others is a way to mitigate the latter.

Especially in terms of "legally not rape" charges, even the average man has to face terrifyingly few consequences. So many women report assaults, unwanted aggressive advances and "not exactly consensual kinds of intercourse" without the men ever facing anything serious, not even stigma. Banging blackout drunk girls is a sport for some people.

Truth is, it works often enough that they'll keep trying.

Whether it's fear, greed, or actual attraction doesn't matter to them, in their world they scored a win.

The AI will take care of it.

You're conflating things.

Urgency is not a factor, but brevity and mental load. Writing mails takes time and forces you to jump between issues/contexts. Even if you answer all mails in one go, you still need to switch contexts again and again. Add to that the inevitable misunderstanding in written communication and you end up with hours of work for simple questions.

Of course there are issues that can be resolved via mail/tickets just fine, but many can't. Forcing employees to choose a certain channel is not a good idea.

Also, you can send an email to schedule a call.

Why are companies going async? To go global. Now find a slot that works for Central/Western Europe and California. Good luck.

Honestly, that sounds like a horrible idea.

Yes, excessive meetings suck, but there are so many problems that are 20 emails over a period of 4 days, or a 5min call.

Well, yes, but the underlying issues still persist, so it's not exactly a sustainable strategy.

The OpenBSD folks are a weird bunch. Literally the entire Internet is built on top of their tools and libraries, and they just ignore the fame and keep dwelling in their basements.

I have to say, I'm getting more and more frustrated by the bad code I have to write due to bad business circumstances.

I want clean, readable code with proper documentation and at least a bit of internal consistency and not the shoehorned mess of hacks, todos and weird corner cases.

Again, map that onto a hostage situation. "If you come closer, I'll blow up the train full of people". Would a sane Police officer come closer?

That doesn't really matter.

If Israel is willing to kill over 200 innocent people to rescue 4 of their own, it means they are valuing the lives of Palestinians less than their own. Simple as that.

Think about a cop in a hostage situation. If they'd kill a small village to free 4 people, the public opinion would be rather clear.

Club Mate. Not too sweet, loads of caffeine and looks cool.

Also, you can feel superior to the plebs that don't understand the complex "wet ashtray" flavors.
