Refactored #142: “Certified Paranoia Engineer”

On this episode of Refactored…

  • Surveillance capitalism: Is your phone listening to you? No. It’s not. But it doesn’t need to. Chris goes ona mini-rant about misdirected paranoia.
  • The guys debate possible legal culpability for ClownStrike following their epic foible. Frank takes a more measured stance (see their Post Incident Review) while Chris thinks maybe they should burn.
  • Software “Engineer” certification and licensure. The guys debate.
    • Is it theoretically advisable?
    • Is it practically feasible?
    • Is it financially viable?
    • is it politically possible?
    • More research required. This conversation will return. Major cliffhangr vibes!
  • Yusuf Dikec enters the chat in the most badass way possible… though maybe the story is a bit too epic to be true.
  • The pick of the week is Biscoff Cookie Butter Spread. This stuff is like, legit, dude.
  • … and much more!
