The only reason why anyone cares is because everyone thinks their little Johnny is going to get a sports scholarship, and somehow a trans athlete is taking that away from them. It's yet again another false zero sum situation, where we have yet again pitted groups against each other instead of asking why a college athletic scholarship is the difference between succeeding and failing in this broken system.

If you took the money aspect out of all of this, it just leave only the true transphobes. Like, does anyone get pissed if a trans person gets a perfect score on the SATs? No. Because we all love meritocracy (supposedly). So, this is the only place where transphobia is being tolerated.

EDIT: There will always be transphobes, but I'm saying the people that are reachable (maybe), this is the stupid argument they reach for, so why not interrogate why that argument is even being treated as an argument instead of being correctly identified as just being transphobia with extra layers. Make college free

brigading is when people disagree with me on a site where people post news articles and everyone posts their opinion

Some really good amendments passed. I might have to renew my membership

Guess SBF should have spent his time not intimidating/tampering witnesses, if he needed the Internet for his defense preparation

I liked the part where , unprompted and completely out of the blue they called you a pedo. Incredible projection

What is a "full stack"

My problem is that there are a lot of layers beyond just the "front end, web/REST, database" layers that most people refer to, that are involved with delivering an application.

Like, do you know Angular and also BGP?

Probably not. So, it's impossible to truly be "full stack" so you're going need to actually define what everyone is supposed to be responsible for knowing, and also recognize that there are going to be folks that are strong in some areas and other areas less so. Plan accordingly

I've been using ConcourseCI because another team manages it and it is integrates with Hashicorp vault.

It's good. The big advantage is I don't have to deal with maintaining it.

The downside is their story on GitHub integration is kind of crummy, you have to create your own web hooks because our ConcourseCI instance is too busy for poll based resource checks.

I think it's YAML.

I'm not happy that it's YAML but it's become ubiquitous. Sure, there are lots of other formats that others have mentioned, but I'm sorry most of them are positioned as "it's better than YAML!" and the fact that everyone is mentioning YAML, even if it's about the things it does wrong (and boy does it do things wrong) still means that YAML is on everyone's mind.

It's very important, so that everyone knows that they are talking about the same thing.

Like, everyone needs to just agree to use the same term, while also not getting into bike shedding around which term to choose.

Your QA team should be building automated regression tests and automating their tests so that they can be run locally as part of the development cycle or as a job in your CI system.

That would decouple this incredibly tight release cycle that you currently have

"How do you know the code you wrote works correctly if there is no test that exercises it?"

Wasn't the point of hypersonic missiles being that they are so fast, and can make small course changes that make intercepts impossible due to the time between it happening and when an interceptor reacts?
