"Never trust Russians, because Russians don't even trust themselves." Otto Von Bismarck

You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle.

Cette punchline de Quatennens quand même xD:

« Le poil de fesse qui manque à Jean-Luc Mélenchon pour être au second tour, on peut le nommer. Oui, les voix de Fabien Roussel nous ont manqué, incontestablement »

J'adore cette citation

“We have lost command of the sea to a nation without a navy, using weapons that were obsolete in World War I and laid by vessels that were used at the time of the birth of Jesus Christ.”— Rear Adm. Smith, Commander, Amphibious Task Force, Wonsan, Korea, 1950.7

«nous notre crédo c'est pas être les meilleurs c'est de prouver que tout le monde est nul»

Open source, in a nutshell :

The majority of tools in software development that are built on top of something else exist purely to bypass limitations in the underlying tooling, and it would have been more appropriate to improve the underlying tooling instead. But that would have required talking to people.

There’s a “7-P” expression we use in the Army: “proper prior planning prevents piss-poor performance.”

Just pour la citation sur LoL

Encore un petit peu et on pourrait croire que le jeu il est Breton tellement c'est salé

Cioran c'est vraiment le roi de la punchline :D

Il est des gens si bêtes que si une idée apparaissait à la surface de leur cerveau, elle se suiciderait, terrifiée de solitude

Il n'y a pas de question idiote, les idiots ne posent pas de question.

C'est la lecture de cet article qui m'a fait pensé à ça:

the most common failure modes I see with junior engineers is when someone will be too afraid to look stupid to ask questions and then learn very slowly as a result; in some cases, this is so severe it results in them being put on a PIP and then getting fired

I'm sure there are other reasons this can happen, like not wanting to bother people, but in the cases where I've been close enough to the situation to ask, it was always embarrassment and fear of looking stupid
I try to be careful to avoid this failure mode when onboarding interns and junior folks and have generally been sucessful, but it's taken me up to six weeks to convince people that it's ok for them to ask questions and, until that happens, I have to constantly ask them how things are going to make sure they're not stuck. That works fine if someone is my intern, but I can observe that many intern and new hire mentors do not do this and that often results in a bad outcome for all parties
In almost every case, the person had at least interned at other companies, but they hadn't learned that it was ok to ask questions. P.S. if you're a junior engineer at a place where it's not ok to ask questions, you should look for another job if circumstances permit
