New comment by wanderer2323 in "Impro is a handbook for running a cult"

The text of the article doesn’t support the headline.

“Married a student”, “the girls realized some of the students were hitting on them with pickup lines”, and “separated some of the more talented students for special lessons” are really not the strongest arguments for “he ran a cult”.

Even the “used hypnosis as a technique to teach acting” which has the article author wringing their hands is not really worrisome. From a cult you kinda expect “to compel members to transfer money” or “…to have sex with the guru” or “…to aggressively recruit from affinity groups” or, you know, something. There is no “something” in this.

A good place to plug my favorite thesis to read: Okasaki’s “purely functional data structures” https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/students/okasaki.pdf .

Very soothing and moves fast.

Meanwhile people who bitch and moan about “other engineers” all the time haven’t changed at all. How refreshing.

Funny how the “pranks” are always “ring steak as bananas” and never “ring bananas as steaks”?

ADC (Application Default Credentials) is a specification for finding credentials (1. look here 2. look there etc.) not an alternative for credentials. Using ADC one can e.g. find an SA file.

As a replacement for SA files one can have e.g. user accounts using SA impersonation, external identity providers, or run on GCP VM or GKE and use built-in identities.
