And that’s why the ref lost his shit. But if the shoe fits.

Egyptian team coach making the “no to racism” sign at the referee in the Egypt Argentina game.

The referee was absolutely racist.

Quote from Sapiens: If this chapter had been written in 1945 or 1962, it would probably have been much more glum. Since it was written in 2014, it takes a relatively buoyant approach to modern history. To satisfy both optimists and pessimists, we may conclude by saying that we are on the threshold of both heaven and hell, moving nervously between the gateway of the one and the anteroom of the other. History has still not decided where we will end up, and a string of coincidences might yet send us rolling in either direction.

Companies I am begging you to think about this when you let HR insist on 'equal' interview loops. #platformengineering

we’ve seen a team interview a great systems engineer with 10 years of experience on planet-scale systems, then propose to hire them at a non-senior level “since they can’t solve coding problems like a senior engineer does.”
