Personally, I've seen a number of individuals (mostly Zoomers) upset by the void of purpose left by the deliberate aimlessness of postmodernist thinking turning to religion for answers. They can't articulate it like that, but they have consistent things they mention that led them to this, "I've been told my whole life to do what I want and I don't even know what I should want, let alone what I do want." "I feel like I've lived my life just laying around doing nothing, and now I feel like I suddenly woke up from a long sleep." Outcry against cancel culture has similar subtext to it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this. Every time I read someone referring to, "a DevOps," I wonder what they think they're referring to. No one person is going to be everything you need for effective development and operations combined outside of small, extremely focused scope. DevOps is about avoiding the, "Just throw it over the wall," mentality, not making one person handle the whole thing.

this are why it's now part of my interview process when I'm interviewing for a new role "how does your company/team define DevOps?" and I listen very closely for things that sound like 'over the wall-Ops'. Admittedly having the fortune at this point in life to be quite judicious about the answers given.
Ostensibly, if I'm applying for a 'DevOps' role, I shouldn't have to do this if the job description is written well enough, yet even then this has become a learned behavior even when coming across the rare well-articulated job req.
No need for "some scumbag" when "someone" will suffice.
The original title was "Why Your Brain Needs Exercise" (the article title) which is highly misleading - looks like it fooled you too - so I agree with the change. I didn't read the article when I saw the first title, which I assumed was about solving sudokus or something along those lines, but I did click with the new title.
Has this actually held up? My understanding is that what specific and specialized areas of work on off-time is considered company IP have to be enumerated, and must depend upon availability of unusual proprietary information.
I haven't found any cases in my (admittedly brief) search that actually rule on this, but there's a pretty clear pattern in CA jurisprudence that suggests that a broad application of "related work" is unlikely to be looked upon positively. To me, it's pretty clear that use of trade secrets would be about the only thing that courts are _likely_ to agree upon as out of bounds for personal work.
