        @steve The Spanish national TV has just said exactly the same. And right now 50% of the people in ICU in Spain with covid(20% of the total) is unvaccinated the other 50% have other other diseases which makes them vulnerable and most of them over 70 years old.

                                  A joyous day. 378 years ago, Isaac Newton was born. He laid the firmest foundations for the laws of mechanics, which today were used to launch a new space telescope. That telescope was made possible, in part, thanks to his foundations for optics. This new instrument will help us understand the first stars in the universe.

                                        I hate my web developer job. No time for unit testing, no time for documentation, no time for creativity or nice algorithms.
                                        Just use whatever trendy JS {front,back}end framework, ship high bandwidth, heavy, soulless sites in no time.
                                        The mere consciousness of it from my colleagues are jokes between two crypto bs talks. The climate catastrophes ahead are literally a joke to them.
                                        I hate that I contribute to this and I want out.

                                        Does anyone here have experience going from this kind of job to a more engineering-focused, ethical one? Tips? Interesting reads? I'd love to hear about it!

                                        Boosts are appreciated!

I'm glad it resonated with you :)
