<p>> alternatives...<p>Well, maybe start fixing problems at home before spending tens of billions not fixing things anywhere else? we can't even change ourselves for the better, an adjudicated rapist, alleged pedophile rules us, and we're going to reform other countries? what grounds do we have to be casting stones ? "they're killing protestors!" I hear many westerns say, while ignoring the americans we're jailing for 30 years, calling terrorists for protesting the extrajudicial killings ICE are doing.
 we have millions without healthcare, above subsistence employment, food security. Why are americans worried about "changing" iran?? Let's look in the mirror, folks.</p>

<p>> how are yall carrying context...<p>Personally I just , in the orchestration loop, have all decisions be constantly reviewed and deliberated on and the decisions logged in a permanent way, that way everything is auditable, the model if needed can go back and look at why x or why decision was made or x or y tool used, and they're all labeled as D-1234 or whatever.<p>Plus I have it log the council discussions and always include provenance or the opinions so fable can go back after every major implementation and review how the orchestration loop could be improved. Basically have it log as much thinking in an organized compartmentalized way is better than any memory feature I've found though I haven't tried many. Auditable logs for every major decision, use 5.5 with reckless abandon (still have 3 resets myself).<p>Not claiming this is perfect but it has led to a very easy time of any fresh agent picking up the project. I also keep a task queue and project status and agent playbook that also get refined based off the logs of how a run went</p>

<p>"democratically elected" being an extremely load bearing sentiment if you know anything about what people's lives are actually like on the ground. did you know a large majority of the populace didn't even vote in 2006? <i>since</i> 2006? there hasn't been elections since. The median age is 18.<p>Pulled all their military out? Oh, they still controlled their airspace, critical infra, borders tho? Sounds very self determined!<p>Serious, bad faith or extremely reductive  misrepresentation that I can't tell is borne from ignorance willful or accidental.<p>your comment is the equivalent of acting like cuba's economy is all their own choosing, without analyzing the immense damage sanctions (and why sanctions were there in the first place) have done to the country, or accosting haiti without knowing why their struggles exist. context matters.</p>

<p>if it helps it's from his novel imperium about cicero. the rest of the quote is great. "...Cicero had stuck to his principles and rejected joining pompey, crassus, and Caesar in their triumvirate to supplant the state. He denounced their criminality in public...in response, he suffered banishment, poverty, and heartbreak. "What good am i to my family or my principles, exiled here?" something like that. from memory. great little trilogy of books btw. got the rec off here actually</p>

<p>404media is good stuff, one of the few news outlets I pay for. I didn't dig too deep on the above comment because I have a deep respect for journalists despite admittedly many of them servicing things I dislike by choice or coercion or for remuneration or fame, etc. Reading about journalists in more authoritarian countries was seriously depressing</p>

<p>for a good counterbalance to those just finding out the nyt is a state dept mouthpiece at best, read about real journalists and why there seem to be so few of them, read Pegasus by laurent richard. Spoiler alert, real journalists who expose powerful peoples' wrongdoings simply get killed.</p>

<p>"how easy it is, for those of us who play no part in public affairs, to sneer at the compromises required of those who do" - robert harris<p>Not making any value judgements, but I can see how one might value their interpretability research higher than what the ceo <i>says</i> in a time where the corrupt, criminal executive branch is muscling in to everything from what's written on currency, to journalistic sources. I generally blame fascists before i blame those unable or unwilling to resist them. though obviously, ideally, we'd all lock arms and, together through friendship, crush authoritarians and fascists.</p>

<p>Luckily I am US based, but unfortunately looks like there's no way out of the developer grind for a few years.<p>I have presentation skills and plenty of soft skills but no experience building complex b2b systems. I've, for many a year, done a very basic version of my understanding of the role for non profits, business and individuals. designed technical solutions of all sorts but mostly just met their needs with existing software along with education.<p>I was hoping I could enter straight into customer facing roles but I suppose I was simply really holding out hope I could avoid what I've heard called, so lovingly, "the code mines". Any further suggestions would be greatly welcome.<p>Thank you again for taking the time to respond and offer this wisdom.</p>
