3 CBs against Grimsby. Should try 2 GKs second half

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

It gets worse for Manchester United.

There is doubt that this one is Andre Onana's fault.

Grimsby Town, of the fourth tier, lead Ruben Amorim's side 2-0 at Blundell Park.

@DStv spend more time trying to stop stream sharing, than actually improving stream efficiency

[James Bernstein @jamesbernstein]

Is it me or is the @DStv streaming app the absolute worst of all the streaming apps? Irrespective of whether you are on @AppleTV or the TV smart app the app always seems to crash - compared to @netflix etc etc - why is that?

If I had to pin it down to only one thing, it would be culture. There is a perfect storm of several factors that has caused the rapid descent over the last 10 or so years. Here are a few recurring themes I've seen as a consultant, trainer, and engineering leader during that time:

1. Maturity - We have an overwhelmingly junior-heavy JS community, and no clear mentorship path for these folks. This leads to over-dependence on frameworks and unhealthy hero worship of social media tech influencers. It also means that innovation is only happening within a small group and most people don't know how to solve problems and create solutions for themselves.
2. Knowledge - There is a broad lack in understanding of fundamental Web Standards, even among many Sr+ engineers. There is also a broad ignorance of the history of web tech and software engineering more broadly. This leads to poor technical decision making, both at the architecture level and the implementation level. This has also led to the adoption of overly complicated solutions to relatively simple problems.
3. Hubris. - While there has been so much talk of imposter syndrome in the industry, ironically, at least on social media, folks seem to be overly confident in their own skills, overly confident in their chosen frameworks, and overly confident in their social media celebrities.
4. Tribalism - Many individuals in our industry associate themselves with a sort of "tribe" surrounding a particular library/framework or social media influencer. This can make it nearly impossible to teach individuals new things, difficult for them to cope with changes happening in the web platform that "threaten" what they have built their career or personal brand around, and nearly impossible for them to handle criticism. Objective evaluation of alternative technologies is right out.

If we could address the culture issues, then the technical challenges would solve themselves.

@DStvCare @DStv This is the support you get

[Johan van Rensburg @Johan_v_R]

@DStvCare @DStv Stream support is pathetic. Limited channels for a week now. I paid premium in full, then they decided to reverse after 2 weeks - I haven't received shit and can't watch any sport. #dstvstream #Monopoly

@bennyjohnson They are openly pushing for genocide of white people in South Africa.

@CyrilRamaphosa, why do you say nothing?
