Iran played a role in Iraq https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_involvement_in_the_Ira...

That bloody civil requires resources from somewhere, so a bi geopolitical power with interests in that chaos is necessary

Calling a defensive war genocide is a demonization of Israel

(rockets targeted at civilians are continously being fired from inside the Gaza Strip)

> “devops” has literally no meaning. I’m only 6 years or so into my career, but I can count on a single hand the amount of devops engineers I’ve worked with that can actually “dev” - and by dev, I mean do stuff like dig into application code and suggest modifications for the infrastructure, or write their own full fledged libraries.

To me that is simply not DevOps. That's just Operations. Businesses are throwing around the title without a care for the word

Personally, I mostly set the length to 15 lines because too often 10 lines maximum just doesn't work in real life codebases

> Do Rubyist really write code like this as a second nature?

In my opinion yes, only the "old timers" that came from some other technologies write these annoyingly long methods (with many temp variables) and then they "wine" about rubocop.

> I mean, if I have to jump around half a dozen different methods and classes every time I look at a method, does it really help comprehension at all?

If you have to jump around, then the method names were chosen badly.

You are using absolute numbers to make it look more extreme than it is. 107000$ are 94000€ at the moment. Considering the living cost in the USA, it might still be higher in the USA but not that extremely more
