Low-maturity #tech orgs fetishize ideas.
Their process goes like this: a senior stakeholder has an idea, then the engineers build it. Only then can the team go and "validate" it.
The main outcome of this process is ANXIETY, because people know they are making a huge bet, but the risks aren't being acknowledged.

Aren't they just transferring the stereotypes about those accents/places to the fantasy characters? Like in the LotR movies the elves have a 'standard' English accent to suggest high class and orthodoxy, the orcs are cockneys to suggest low class and criminality, Gimli is Scottish to suggest bravery and self-sufficiency, etc.
I think the accents from cities outside of London are mostly associated with the industrial history of those cities, which would explain why they're absent from fantasy. And the sterotype of the Welsh isn't quite as strong as for Ireland and Scotland, mostly it's just sheep jokes.
Now that I finally feel comfortable on #mastodon, and have a general idea of what I want to post, I think it's time for my first #introduction!

in reply to sbbq • • •The purest example of fake news. Putin invited journalists to see the surrounded Ukrainian garrison in Myrnograd-Pokrovsk (that pocket has now been all but eliminated, so it's too late for that). This article tries to claim he said it about Kupyansk, a town in a completely different part of Ukraine, which is very easy to verify is not true.
It's sort of insulting that the people who churn out this lazy pro-Ukrainian propaganda think their audience is this stupid that they won't even check.
As for the Narcoführer, he just went to do another of his usual photoshoots with the town sign, which in this case happens to be several kilometers outside of the actual city itself.
Coincidentally it just so happens that almost every time he does one of these PR stunts that city ends up falling not long after.
I have no idea if this is going to be the case here. Who knows, maybe Ukraine will break the pattern this time and retake the city. Congratulations to them if they do, they haven't had a win in a long time now so i'm sure it would be a nice morale booster, but
