  • Also worth noting that the current president, the child of a dictator, is using his support to impeach Duterte’s daughter. He also said he wouldn’t support any action of the ICC and now is.

    If this action was in isolation, it could be taken at face value, but with other manoeuvrings, it’s looking like Marco’s consolidating his grip on power.

    The other point and kind of backing up what you’ve said, is that Fillipino’s I’ve talked to have commented that drug problems in their area disappeared but used to be pretty horrible.

    I’m not one to defend crimes against human’s, but one cannot discount the level of criminality and the impact it was already having on people’s lives. Whether the tactics were fair or decent is one thing, but another is, did it work? Did it solve a serious problem the country was grappling with. You only have to look at Mexico to realise that if you don’t deal with these things, the level of murder and suffering often skyrockets.

    There should be accountability, but I’m not sure this is about accountability.









  • Yes, and you do it at the point you need to work on that feature. The business pay for it when they want the change.

    You do not pay for the refactor with your time, if the company won’t pay to fix their code. Just make it clear the risks and how bad it could be if you carry on with duct tape fixes.

    You have to be strong and firm and not agree to hacks. You need to work with your team to ensure you’re on the same page rather than getting undermined by cowboy dev claiming he can do the feature in 2 days when it needs 2 weeks to do the necessary work.



  • Many studies have looked into this, culture etc. For example how people conducted themselves in say Nazi Germany or during the Rwandan genocide.

    Simply trying to understand how so many folk can commit such atrocities.

    Knife crime is viewed differently in areas with high amounts of it. It’s more shocking in an area it doesn’t exist. In an area where folk growing up knowing or seeing people being stabbed, it’s seen very differently.

    I don’t think juries should necessarily take it into consideration, but understanding situations, it’s quite relevant. If you’ve stepped into both poor and rich areas, you’ll understand the differences.
