I am actually scared of switching jobs in case my next job doesn't involve yocto.
How would I make use of the countless hours I have already invested in this piece of software? Countless keywords and the dark magic of the ever changing syntax.
Just curious, what is the procedure that does NOT involve Yocto? I guess a ton of shell scripts? Where can I learn it (i.e. build a Linux system for any embedded system without using Yocto or similar tools)? Is the LFS project the first place I should visit?
Background: I just switched to Ubuntu 22.04 for my daily use (mostly coding for side projects) but TBH I'm just using it as Windows. I use a Macbook Pro for work and know a bit of shell scripting, some Python, a bit of C and C++. Basically your typical incompetent software developer.

There are other tools in the same space like buildroot, but I would personally tend to recommend LFS to start from the fundamentals and work up, yes.

That sounds like sunk-cost fallacy. What if you switch jobs and they use something else that just works without needing dark magic syntax? If it's the best tool then so be it, but I question your reason for clinging to it.
Your ability to learn and apply such dark magic is the more general skill. If you can wrangle To to, you can wrangle Buildroot. Or Android SDK or whatever else.
I suppose an even better one would be "looking through broken glass that keeps fucking moving around".
The weirdest thing I discovered was that, back when I juggled professionally, I couldn't read at all during that aura but could still juggle, even hard things like 5+ balls. Strangely it did not screw up peripheral vision.
Worst time was when it came on before a music school performance. Not a hope in hell of keeping track of which line the little circles were on...
I got told that it could be indeed the case that my brain continuously has small seizures but only from time to time they break trough and cause the pain and auras which I would then experience. They wanted to measure the brainwaves to figure out if that was the case. That would also somehow fit what OP said, so I guess this is known in the medical world already. Or at least something in that direction.
Only that's not how auras seem to work. The current understanding is that they are caused by cortical spreading depression - a slow travelling wave which depolarizes the brain cells it passes through. These don't just happen randomly in healthy controls.
I also have migraine with aura. There are visual effects but also when I am looking into the mirror I can't see half of my face and give this is a wrong perception of reality you might consider it a hallucination?
Same, the fortification aura is really kind of amazing, putting aside the debilitating pain that's quickly approaching. It's really weird to have a part of your vision just "not there" as opposed to being black. It's even stranger when looking at a face or some recognizable object, and half of it disappears into nothingness while the other half still exists. Fun to play with.
the first time i had this, everyone's nose was missing. for ten seconds it was funny and then i hid in a bathroom stall at work, and texted my wife goodbye. i was positive i was about to die. its really stressful to have bodies.
Search Migrainous Infarction. I had one when I was 32 (53 now). It's very rare, but a migraine can cause a stroke (ie. permanent brain damage), because of impaired blood flow. It left me with a permanent scotoma ("black" hole in my fov, visible from both eyes and with both eyes open).
I was scanning the comments to see if anyone needed that information.
If the aura doesn't stop after an hour, better go to the hospital (aura means reduced blood flow). Also NEVER take triptans during an aura.
Can confirm, I had a brain MRI in my early 20s and had a number of white matter lesions that were supposedly caused by migraines. No other cognitive or neurological issues. But I'm due for another scan soon and hoping they haven't worsened :P
Might be a question of cause and effect. My neurologist theorized my migraines were triggered by microemboli leaking through a PFO (leak between left and right side of the heart: normally the lungs filter this stuff out)
PFO closed, migraines basically gone.
PFO can lead to stroke too for the same reason, and that's when it's usually closed, after a stroke. Not all migraines are caused by PFO. I went on blood thinners first for a year as a test.
> we prevented 2.36 million policy-violating apps from being published on Google Play
"Removed" as in the title would imply for me these apps did hit the Google Play store at one point and were then removed. But from the article itself it sounds more like these were never made available in the first place?
That just means as a tech-lead you end up not only putting blame on the (broken) tech but also blame the people right with it?
I don't think that is a smart thing to do within office politics.
I do agree that you can elevate people with potential, to build something of value with them, but I would stay away of trying to get people fired or replaced.

But when it works it works..
