Lol squirrel girl knows what's up.

To all the developers fighting for a good architecture, and the designers fighting for good UX. You guys are the real heroes fighting the eternal fight.
Here's to you!

So today I got an email about a job opportunity. The email was in romainian. This is the exact translation and bear in mind that in romanian as in every other language (I guess) alot of english phrases sound very cringy. This is the email:

We need a fearless hero for the IT realm!
X company, a thriving insurance community, is looking for a real hero of software development that can make code using the .NET mystical hammer that can only be lifted by a worthy, deserving and responsible warrior.

You can't fly? Can't shoot lasers? You are not wasting your night time by looking at the moon on tall blocks wearing a cape? Then you could be the hero we need.

Do not worry, the position does not imply superhuman strength :)) However, it requires intellectual strength and attention to detail. You can even use your powers from a comfortable chair in a welcoming team full of other heroes ready to help you. We won't leave you alone, after all even Batman has Robin :))

I have attached all the information you need. Only The Chosen One can open the document so you will know immediately if you are right. :))

If you want to be responsible with your strength, then I'm waiting for your updated English resume with all your heroic deeds in the past.

Remember, not all heroes wear capes!

... WHAT THE FUCK IS .NET MYSTICAL HAMMER??? AND WHO THE FUCK USES ":))" IN AN EMAIL??

The real heroes of our time are devs who include an uninstall target in their makefile

I used to love the hero treatment I got long ago in my previous company. Appreciations and what not for conducting events, contributing to open source. I think I burned out later. Later the hero treatment stopped there and I craved for it when I wasn't doing the stuff I used to do - basically I was previously keeping others happy I guess, instead of keeping myself happy. Contributing to open source or conducting events was not even part of the day job and was mostly considered outside the working hours and hence one had to stretch to do all that extra stuff. I over did stuff I guess and burned out

In my current company, I see heros and appreciations so much for contributing to open source though not all our roles are completely defined as open source roles and we instead have to work on closed source or yet to be open sourced stuff. My role is contributing a very tiiiiiny testing bit in an yet to be open sourced project, but a few other colleagues of mine work on closed source paid advanced version of the open source core project

Seeing all the hero treatment where I'm not the hero and seeing all the appreciation, I wonder how it doesn't seem right. Surely I'm jealous, lol. But I also felt the treatment also shows some sort of Special treatment for some people. It's "Special" and not exactly for all and only for open source contributors or people doing all the popularly so called as "cool" stuff. Fortunately for them their job role kinda mentions that I believe. And people working on closed source are now trying to contribute there. I'm stuck with some of my main day job work and dying in guilt for burning out, and not being able to contribute to open source and also kind of starting to hate open source for it's dark sides. Reminds me Batman dialogue "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.". Open Source dark sides - of course the possibile dark sides of companies funding open source, the people behind the companies and also of course my company being one of them possibly, though if you ask anyone they say "Community comes first". That's full of lies is what I would say.

Inclusivity gets thrown out the window. Heroes get to talk. Heroes get worshipped. Others are not even noticed I think. I guess the only way to get noticed is to imitate the heroes

At some point I realized I'm envying or idolizing a crazy set of people, or like putting them on a pedestal. I'm trying to fix that in my head. But oh my, you should see all the treatment, the respect, etc. Surely some people just are there to do meh or grunt work or even good work or whatever without much appreciation, and then have to move on. No respect or consideration for opinions, thoughts usually. Some of them don't even have the time to care to check what people have to say. Top down hierarchy but they say it's flat hierarchy. They don't even wanna listen to some of us I think, that is during team meetings. Only very few care from what I have noticed

One good thing is I have to come to realize how much I'm like them in some behaviours and feeling damn guilty. I sometimes spend time thinking how to change myself for the long term. And how to avoid the toxic behaviors in the team and also control my anger and control my response to their behaviours. I'm also trying to understand where I'm climbing the ladder with my assumptions and also trying to see the "real" thing instead of assuming or being blind or imagining etc. But it has become so hard because idk if people are faking it, it's become very hard to always assume people are telling the truth 🙈 though it makes to assume or believe that by default. If people are okay with themselves lying, who am I question that huh

Hi my name is John Edwin and i want to share my story as I write this review. I never thought I'd see the day where I'd recover my stolen cryptocurrency. The experience was nothing short of a nightmare. I had invested a small fortune in Bitcoin, thinking it was the safest way to grow my wealth. But, I was wrong. A phishing scam got the better of me, and before I knew it, my entire wallet was drained. I was devastated. Days turned into weeks, and I had lost all hope. I tried reaching out to the authorities, but they seemed just as clueless as I was. It was as if I was on my own in this dark, uncharted territory. That's when I stumbled upon HACKER ZED NEMESIS a crypto recovery agency that promised to help victims like me. At first, I was skeptical. I had tried so many other "recovery experts" before, only to be left disappointed and poorer. But, something about HACKER ZED NEMESIS resonated with me. Maybe it was their 5-star reviews or the fact that they had a physical address listed on their website (a rarity in the crypto space!). Whatever it was, I decided to take a leap of faith and reach out to them. From the get-go, the team at HACKER ZED NEMESIS was professional, empathetic, and reassuring. They listened to my story, asked the right questions, and got to work immediately. Their approach was meticulous, and I could sense that they had dealt with cases like mine before. Fast forward a few weeks, and I received an update from the team - they had recovered 95% of my stolen crypto! I couldn't believe my eyes. The relief, the joy, the sense of vindication - it was all overwhelming. I had my life back, and I owed it all to HACKER ZED NEMESIS What sets them apart from other recovery agencies is their transparency, expertise, and commitment to delivering results. They're not just in it for the money; they genuinely care about helping people like me who've been wronged by the system. If you're a victim of crypto fraud, don't give up hope. Reach out to HACKER ZED NEMESIS and let them work their magic. Trust me, you won't regret it. I'm living proof that they're the real deal. Thanks again, HACKER ZED NEMESIS for giving me a second chance. You're the true heroes of cyber security if you've had an experience like mine please contact them VIA
