    The Luka trade fascinates me so much and I’m not even a basketball fan. Has to truly be one of the worst sports decisions in history.

    I am of the opinion Nico just hated Luka on some sort of weird, personal level and wanted him gone by any means. What shocks me is that ownership was complicit in this as well, the guy must be really convincing. Maybe that’s how he kept a job this long afterwards

    A simple analogy that always helped me was that validation was like filling a cup. The more of it you’re able to fill yourself, the less you’ll need from others.

    Can confirm it feels unnatural for a bit, but self validation helps.

    My coworkers and I have already started speculating on when engineering positions will start opening to fix these vibe coded projects down the line. Maybe they already have.

    “Did an actual engineer create/maintain this project?” might be a legitimate thing to think about in an interview a few years from now. I imagine a lot of management feels the same as your coworker.
