That is the joke. Though probably Kotlin, not Dart, as the features described are exactly what Kotlin has.


Look into the the other political parties in Russia and their views towards the west and you'll get your answer


Yea, the rest of the centuries in human history were much better weren't they.


Russia has a poor track record of working. Making bad copies of the software is a valid choice for them, the narrative is that the sanctions will not scare them because russia can make everything themselves, also better than the rotten west.


It is though?


Some definitions of Scandinavia include Finland, others doesn’t.

Poor Estonia.


Estonia? How do you mean?


Jokingly, as they aspire into Nordic.


There are much cheaper curved widescreen monitors as well, I bought a 100hz AOC monitor for 360 dollars or so. That was more than worth it.


Unfortunately call center employees don't usually have a choice, no one works in a call center because they like the job.


I worked in two different call centers in eu and it was the same. They can afford treating employees like that because there will always be another student with no money waiting to take the spot of anyone who inevitably quits in a year. Not sure how to solve this, but it definitely feels dehumanising working there.


Does doing a job that could be done better by robots make you feel useful and contributing to society though?


Yes, as there are plenty of those being done by humans today. Manual labour in developping countries (and plenty of small manual tasks in developped countries too, how many people wash dishes manually when dishwashers exist?), weird one-of-a-kind knowledge jobs for which the company doesn't bother buying the automation software that exists, because the transaction costs make it uneconomical.

There is no reason to believe this results in less social cohesion and self-satisfaction than a not-doable-by-robots job.


This looks super nice! Found a typo on the landing page btw: "pulls-request" instead of pull requests.


Fixed, thanks a lot!
