Readit NewsI have to assume that what you mean by this is "for millions of people, Valorant will have been their first and only FPS."
That may well be true! The knee-jerk response you're getting from others is because your statement sounds like you're saying "no other FPS game has ever had a million+ players."
Did the author do no research into the competition/precursors before going down this path?
Did they lie to make it seem more impressive?
Whatever the case, it’s odd.
This is an issue for all sorts of studies.
Carrot: Thorough documentation with examples, and ease of migration that is as close to 100% automatable as possible, ex. with bash scripts. Migrating should be so easy that your own team could assist with it and not lose cycles.
Stick: Duress and coercion through management alignment, OKR scoring, and deadlines. Bonus if you can involve Legal for regulatory compliance issues resolved by your new components.
Also. Nothing is stopping Karen's from reporting things right now. So what if they do? If you've done nothing wrong then the reviewer would just trash it. And probably put Karen's reports in the "immediately discard" pile in the future if she sends in frivolous claims all the time.
I have used footage from my Tesla to get evidence and plate # that I could hand over to my insurance company and the police three times. 2 out of 3 were uninsured. This was during the past two years.
I really dislike this attitude.
AT&T were attacked, by criminals. The criminals are the ones who did something wrong, but here you are immediately blaming the victim. You're assuming negligence on the part of AT&T, and to the extent you're right, then I agree that they should be fined in a bigger manner.
But the truth is, given the size and international nature of the internet, there are effectively armies of criminals, sometimes actually linked to governments, that have incredible incentives to breach organizations. It doesn't require negligence for a data breach to occur - with enough resources, almost any organization can be breached.
Put another way - you trust a classical bank, with a money, to secure your money from criminals. But you don't expect it to protect your money in the case of an army attacking it. But that's exactly the situation these organizations are in - anyone on Earth can attack them, very much including basically armies. We cannot expect organizations to be able to defend themselves forever, it is an impossible ask in the long run. This has to be solved by the equivalent of a standing army protecting a country, and by going after the criminals who do these breaches.
You picked the wrong point to counter with. The real problem is that the corporate decision-makers who bear the most responsibility will never be held accountable. They will always be able to shift blame to someone below them in the corporate hierarchy.
The vast majority of the programming workforce doesn't have both.
If you can only pick one, you're better off with the discipline, because you will earn more money and be able to retire earlier, and/or with better living standards.
One problem with applying it is that could violate social contracts. When most people are playing by the rules, but one person gains advantage by cheating. Suddenly, it's more a freeloader/jerk move, than anything else.
Admittedly, things get more complicated when many people believe that the social contracts have already been violated, so there's no longer a contract (or "less" of a contract), so they might as well get the advantage, too. Before it got to that point, it started with early cheaters.
The point is that rules don't matter without consequences for breaking them, and a rule is only as effective as the severity of the consequences.
When you're rewarded for breaking them, you can't even really consider it a rule anymore.
Netflix is the only employer I know of where an Android or iOS IC can make liquid 500k+ TC without RSUs.
