tldr: the core argument here is that debt in the technical sense means something slightly different from debt in the business sense and that somehow makes developers look unprofessional. So rebrand tech debt to messiness.

Imo: Being a messy worker doesn't look more professional though... This is a lot of words about someone's pet peeve, and they should probably keep looking for a better alternative. You want to make the idea of tech debt more palatable to smooth brained c suites who can't understand what tech debt means? Look towards concepts like restructuring, adopting more efficient methodologies, process improvement, or risk management. Mess though... that's the least serious sounding suggestion of them all.

Unironically though, I do think that is how i say it. It's parmesan Luc not parmesan Grey.

These things are at most half as wide as most modern cars so no its not car sized.

It's still car sized everywhere else. Cars in America are just needlessly oversized.

This doesn't really sound that oniony.

"If an employee's loss of earnings resulting from official guidelines is to be compensated, it could be done with a separate daily allowance solution, for example," Rytkönen-Sandberg said.

The tldr (or at least how I've read it from the summarized non native language article) appears to be if a government warning results in lost work hours, a public program should be on the hook for compensating citizens for lost wages instead of the employer (the people saying this advocate specifically for small to medium businesses). That's not really very different from how some countries handle sick pay (the first few days might be covered by the company, but then a public institution takes over covering wages for absences longer than a couple days).

There's a trend with delivery apps where they add restaurants to their service listing even if the restaurant hasn't consented. The apps will configure the menus using copies that have been posted online (sometimes out of date with products the restaurant no longer offers) and use their delivery drivers as middle men to place the orders manually. If you are a large restaurant and the apps are going to list you regardless, there is incentive to reach an agreement and control offerings rather than deal with the customer service impact of misattributed third party issues. Some restaurants maintain their own independent delivery services even when apps force their way into being a competing delivery option.

Imo, the part of this whole controversy that's really been danced around is how much of the disputed $250m bonus is developer bonus and how much is executive bonus. I would be very interested in more details around this breakdown and eligibility if anyone has seen it.

As far as I've seen, the only indicator that this was anything other than an executive bonus dispute was one executive claiming they were totally going to share it with the rest of the team after the shit went down and the story was in the press. Sorry if I find that claim less than reputable. What Krafton did was undeniably greedy and illegal, but how worked up am I supposed to get about executive payouts? It seems like the other employees weren't in the sale language at all, and there's a very real possibility they may end up getting larger bonuses now that the executives have resorted to using their development team as a tool to garner additional public sympathy.

The articles you linked don't seem to have anything to do with your comment. Afaik, at least 2 people died in protests against the revocation of a single group's special religious exemption to military service. The parties that were at the forefront of those protests still support Netanyahu and if either of them stopped supporting him it would be enough to turn the ruling coalition's majority.
