I've been telling every engineer who will listen to move to product management. The web and it's endless changing frameworks and complete site rewrites have seriously devalued subject matter expertise in an existing code base.
Either that or pick up Fortran/Cobol and hold companies that refuse to deprecate their mainframes hostage.

The grand scheme of the Republican party is to appear as diverse as possible to counter the accusations of racist policies coming from the Left. The gameplan is to keep as much of that power as possible and rebrand the socioeconomic success of White people as nothing but the result of hard work and not the consequence of post-Reconstruction policies. This is where your Tim Scotts, Herschel Walkers, minority religious leaders and all other rich minorities come in: their role is to gaslight the people with the message that opportunity for all, no matter their race, already exists in the US. This is also why they need to squash the competing narrative rising from CRT studies on American laws.

They do have a point.Seeing way too many deflections and whataboutisms from liberals/progressives acting as Cuomo apologists today. This one really got me:
Prioritizing your ideology over doing what's right is politics at its worst.
American politics have devolved into a naked struggle for power, and it's hard to justify being principled when the other side clearly isn't and is openly trying to consolidate power in any way possible.
I don't like what is happening with Cuomo or Newsom for that very reason. Trying to ignore the greater context is naive IMO.

So what's the answer then? A race to the bottom where we throw ethics and integrity to the wayside and support anyone who we agree with ideologically despite the reprehensible things they've done? That seems like a great way to make our already toxic political environment even more toxic.
Also this isn't new. Obstructionism and power struggles have been constant throughout our history.
If you're gonna change your stance on this type of behavior based on the letter next to someone's name, that tells me everything I need to know.

I get what you are saying but it doesn't have to be a binary decision. Principles are important, people should try to stick to them as much as possible, but folk just concede power to the right because to it because they could be greater consequences just to appear principled. You have to play out the downstream effects of these decisions.
Cuomo and Newsom are not the same though
Cuomo brought this nonsense on himself with his ****** up behavior. And getting rid of him won't result in conceded any power to the right. I see no reason to try to consider keeping him.
Newsom is getting railroaded. The dude didn't anything to deserve this, this should not be happening. Most want him to be Governor, most will vote for him to remain governor, and a wonky recall system is probably gonna cost him his position. His leaving concedes power to the right.

Our democrat governor lets the police kill people and posts thoughts and prayers on Twitter and sends in the riot squad when people protest it and puts up a curfew.
democrats can be scum too. Scum is scum bruh.

Joey not my president Biden is doing this in poor taste. President for life Donald Trump was going to have an infrastructure week but the black cloud of the Russia investigation prevented him from doing it.

I don't think he is talking about party loyalty, he is talking about the consequences of losing power to conservatives by these means
I am all for getting rid of a Democrat that has done some *******
But let us suppose a supreme court justice dies, and then Sherrod Brown, Tester, Manchin, or Kelly get caught up in a scandal like Cuomo.
The calculation can't just be "get rid of the problematic guy". It should also be "if we do, then the Republicans governor from that state gets to replace a Dem with Republican, Mitch McConnel takes over the Senate, and the Supreme Court appointment is blocked, which has consequences for millions more people"
Yes we should be principled, but there are costs to doing that. One day the cost might be really damn high. So folk should not be naive about that.

To be fair, who really thought Trump was gonna pass a trillion-dollar infrastructure deal.

Governor
Face Northam handled things perfectly and he essentially turned into Brotha Malik Shabazzz. We have to be principaled but I agree that we have to be very careful.
