    Even if someone were to use the "magic numbers" there are layers of real, non-charismatic, people in e way between using the numbers and an actual launch.

    Really? They have the authority to just disobey a direct order if they don't like the sound of it? I guess in your alternate reality they specifically choose awkward people who question everything for these roles, rather than ones who'll just do as they're fucking well told because goddamit it's not a request.

    Why bother having a CIC & all that code nonsense at all.. Just more big government bureaucracy. Let each individual sub commander, B52 pilot etc use his own judgement. I mean clearly they're all aware of the whole global situation and have time to weigh the pros & cons. *eyeroll*.

    It really is a shame when people do not educate themselves as to how systems work before positing misuse.

    Anybody know how to straighten the needle on an irony meter?

  4. If you put the charismatic people in positions of leadership, it's often the place they can do the least harm.

    It requires a special level of idiocy to equate "having the magic numbers for the big bang instant sunshine things" with "least harm".

    The intent of a startup is to develop a product that people will buy from you.

    That's one theory.

    Another is to generate insane amounts of hype and sell the worthless shell of a company to some clown with more money than sense.

    We can have multiple attempts at solving a problem and the best one wins.

    There shouldn't be a winner. If things are designed correctly (i.e. not by a nazi shitcock) you should be able to install whichever one you want - even if it came last - without having to transplant one of your kidneys.

    instead to learn what skills make a great developer. It's not what language they know, because that can be learned quickly.

    I agree to an extent, though the stumbling block is the equivalent of vocabulary - knowing all the standard libs and what they do.

    However HR do not. If they want you to have 23 years experience with it then "I know something similar, I'm sure I could pick it up" just won't fly. Bastards.
