It’s a bummer that the government wasn’t able to stop the recent acquisition of activision, but hopefully that cooled Microsoft’s eagerness a little.

As a Canadian with a similar legal system to the UK, I’m shocked reading about the judicial overreach of the UK government and their attempt to squash dissent.
It’s been over a decade of torie rule in the UK. It’s hard to imagine what would be required for enough people in the UK to vote them out if it hasn’t happened yet.
For me, it’s 100% your first bullet. It looks like a fun game but no way am I paying $80 Canadian for it.
Sounds like it’s been mostly a positive outcome. Have you considered jumping back in to the technical side again or do you want to continue as a manager?
I’m trying to move in to management mostly because my salary potential as a technical engineer definitely feels capped and I’m at the ceiling for my line of work.
Not a manager currently but considering it as a growth pathway. I’m an engineer but not in software. In my area of focus there is very much a cap on how much money I can make as an engineer and management seems to be the only obvious route to increasing my pay. I love the technical work but I’m hoping I can carry that over in to management if I find the right role.
Great insight! I find myself in a similar growth trajectory as an engineer (but not software), and have been considering moving in to management. That move feels like the necessary path if I want to grow my salary and continue to drive change, but I’ve been lamenting the potential loss of the focus on the technical side. Considering a back and forth approach (manager back to engineer and repeat) is an interesting take I had not actually considered.
That no matter what scientists and engineers try, when combusting fossil fuel, the exhaust smells like a terrible latrine.
I think that would spur a quick response from everyday citizens as to what they heat their homes with, or how they get around their cities.
