There's a book about why power seems to attract this sort of people - can't remember the name right now, might update later.

In short, it's not power on its own, but rather the systems we built around and for power, making it unattractive for people we want to end up in power, while the people who we don't want to end up in power pursue it regardless because they want power for the sake of it.

What I'm trying to say is, this is another issue that we can actually tackle and solve to a large degree. There's hope!

Als einer Russe, ich war sehr überrascht selbst über den Versuch, und danach über den Abflug.

Der Absturz war keine Überraschung.

What will the 2nd amendment fans have to say about this? How are citizens bearing arms preventing the government from becoming tyrannical and acting agasint the people will? Did arms prevent the government from the evil commie masks and vaccines?

Pretty much this.

It tends to depend on your branch, though, and in some fields, you really don't need anything other than your code, because you're not testing anything before it's compiled anyway. For something like frontend development, on the other hand, having some extra screen space is a blessing, be it more monitors or just one bigger monitor, especially if you have the tools to easily manipulate the screen space, like automatic window tiling.

To take the frontend example further, when you have something like i3/DWN/sway or any other tiling windows manager (that's on Linux), you can easily set up more "desktops" (workspaces), divided into tiles like the browser window (to preview the changes), your editor (to make the raw changes), and the developer tools of the browser you're currently testing things on. Not like it's impossible to achieve the same with any other tool that lets you create virtual desktops, but the less time and brainpower you use on switching tabs/desktops/workplaces, which you achieve by always being able to access everything you need at a glance, just kinda helps you enter the flow state - you just dissolve into the process completely because you stare at everything you need all the time.

The more you need to look at, the more you gain with these setups. The frontend example from above is a rather simple scenario, which is not too likely in this era, because you're pretty much guaranteed to be using at least one framework, most likely with a live preview feature with real time output of the compiling results and errors. There's no shortage of windows to open, all of which will be relevant and useful to your current task.

Either that or put some non-work related crap on the side to switch to whenever you get mad because you don't get the result you wanted to.

I used to work with Germans and want to second your opinion.

I'm Russian and I noticed a lot of simialries between myself and my German colleagues in terms of work (all IT related), leisure, many opinions, etc. Still, we all started glowing whenever someone said as little as one word in another's language: people often started taking about differences between the languages, shared their experiences, some spoke both Russian and German a little, which always seemed to have brought people together, even if the speaker was very limited in their knowledge.

To many people, the culture you happen to inherit and initially develop in is very dear to them, even if they don't realize that at the moment - they often feel very warm when they see other people showing genuine interest or respect towards it. It's really peculiar how you dont notice your culture much unless foreigners express any interest towards it right in front of you.

No talk like that in caves!

When kid, play Doom much. Be critical inside, think low of own skills. Also love metal - love 666, love 13. Multiply 666 and 13, get 8658. Combine all - get noobdoomguy8658. Now happy, feel witty.

FINALLY someone mentioned this stupid game's inventory!

I've been playing EFT on and off for a couple of years now I think, and it's the inventory that feels the best for me. I keep reading and hearing people praising the gun building, but that's more of a pain in the... everywhere, really, for many reasons, and firefights are even more frustrating knowing that the game poses as a "realistic" shooter (the recoil and inertia make 0 sense in that context), but nobody ever talks about the inventory!

Even some of the mods for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly and the like that aim to liken the experience to that of Escape From Tarkov never work on bringing the modular, limited grid-based inventory system that makes you account for the items size rather than just their weight.

I don't even care about guns or quests in this game - I just like looting and messing with my inventory, be it in-raid or out-of-raid.
