  • Temple Grandin (2010) - Very good as far as biopics go

    The Great Dictator (1940) - Had never actually watched the whole thing, it was better than I expected. Powerful speech at the end. Mussolini hilariously done. Striking to know that this movie predates the worst that the Nazis would do to the Jews

    Cyrano (1990) - Blown away by Depardieu’s performance. This is a phenomenal version of a classic story. Best version I’ve seen so far, including the plays of this I’ve been to


  • As a former software engineer turned product owner turned manager, thank you for including other perspectives. When complaining on the internet, engineers typically think other people should be doing all the specification work and they just implement it, without realizing that in the pre-agile days, the bureaucracy was soul-crushing. We need engineers to discuss all these technical details like permissions and whatnot, they’re the best people for the task! But at parties, engineers talk about this as if management is stupid for not working it out for them. No, software engineers shouldn’t try to reduce themselves to code monkeys. You’re problem solvers, you’re engineers.
