Ok so you know how there’s this whole alternative universe theory about BerenstEIN bears vs BerenSTAIN bears? In 20 years I predict that, but for people’s remembered favorite pop star “The Weekend” who is actually “The Weeknd” That’s my future theory send skeet

first stage of my posting career (as a teen) was as a flame warrior of logic. Get in there, do battle (indefatigable). Batter people down, win through persistence and wit. This got old. Noticed no one was ever convinced, and "win by outlast" seemed pointless

some accounts seem to enjoy combat posting stuff that draws in haters, trolls, and hottakers and then subsequently like to complain about how toxic networks are it is unclear to me whether this is all part of the play, or they don't see their own involvement

Only very cool people know the difference between centralized, decentralized, and distributed systems. Since I only allow very cool people in my presence, you are required to either have foreknowledge of this distinction or read this thread. Once you read the thread, you can exclaim "i am very cool"

If a leader doesn’t clearly define tenets and principles of how they like work to be done/not done, they’ll end up becoming event-based nitpickers and perceived as micromanagers and become the biggest bottleneck to the growth of the team that reports to them.
