I am curious; what exactly do you mean by "religious curriculum" ? As a Hindu myself, i know of only the traditional "Gurukuls/Patashalas".

Russia has been more sinned against than sinning. Gorbachev was lied to and manipulated with assurances of a "Marshall -like plan" to get him to dissolve the Soviet Union. During the Yeltsin years the West literally had advisors dictating every aspect of the Political, Economic and Monetary recovery plans in the newly formed countries. Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan were persuaded to give up their nukes in exchange for economic/monetary help. The result? They have been made irrelevant on the world stage and nobody cares about them anymore. Luckily Russia escaped worse fate and is now hitting back. Since then the entire Western media has been whipping up Russo-phobia everywhere.

>the universities somehow find them lacking in “personality”.

It is a pervasive stereotype of all Asians in the US to this day. Unless you act bombastic, are loud and spew BS, you are considered "not leader material". It is all about posing and not actual effectiveness.

>not interested in supporting violence or doing anything illegal

Who defines what is illegal? When the System and its laws are completely stacked against you, any change can only be brought about by going outside the System i.e. by engaging in "illegal acts". You are allowed to use anything and everything to bring about real Societal change. Racism and Police Brutality need to be stamped out once and for all in the US.

>The series is just a bunch of propagandist BS in a very nice package

Exactly! The series very cleverly blends fact with fiction (suggestions/nudges/omissions/conspiracy theories) to give an illusion of how everything was the fault of the scheming Soviets.

It was quite enjoyable but viewers interested in veracity should consult other sources.

Thank you! The series really went overboard with the negative KGB paintbrush.

Ah yes; a fluff piece with nothing in it.

Article is named "Delight of Development" but of course the author is "not a developer anymore".

>My focus now is less on building software myself, and more about enabling others build better software.

Translation: I don't produce anything but lord it over people who do. What the hell is "Developer Relations"? Has the industry gone mad?

Most of us got into programming because we enjoyed it; until the "Industry" with its useless "managemeent" layers destroyed our motivation/enjoyment of it and turned us into unhappy drones.
