You did the right thing, the person was angry with no real outlet for it, so their brain found someone to blame to release that tension. They were not thinking rationally and attempts to argue would have been stonewalled and probably would have escalated things.

This is not a justification for their behaviour, it was despicable and wrong. More so my opinion of why anything other than what you did was correct.

I’m really sorry.

Look, we can’t have TVs that last 15 years anymore!

We need to keep people buying every year or two. Otherwise line not go up! Don’t you understand that this is about protecting The Economy?!

My partner has been very bullish on India’s economy in the future. I think the EU is proving her right.

I dunno man.

Company: Here’s a change.

Users: This sucks!

Company: Ok, let’s roll that back.

If the company were Apple, the change would stick. If it were Microsoft, the change would be rolled back for 2 weeks and then quietly re added.

Waow, look at all the money we saved with layoffs. Buy our stock!

Waow, look at all the growth we’re experiencing, we have to hire more developers. Buy our stock!

Of course, not all the companies survive and now there’s decreased competition, so we can shove prices up a little bit further

My knife is chemically inert, shall I insert it into your body?

I’m nearly 40 and the world they are facing is so different to what I experienced that I don’t know if any advice I could give would even make sense.

Don’t suffer fools, I guess. Life is too short to put up with people who don’t, won’t or can’t respect you. You don’t have to make it a big deal, in fact that might be the wrong move if you’re dealing with a narcissist. Instead become uninteresting when interacting with them. The Grey Rock technique.

If something is worth paying for I just do that up-front. (Outside of some exceptions where I actively don’t want to support the creator or license holder)

PAYNE!!! You gotta help meeee!

…Ok. But only because it’ll fuck with Vlad.

It dampens the extremes. So you have enough mental energy to seek other help.

Just as a clarification; depression isn’t sadness.

Depression is the lack of anything, it’s feeling every moment of your existence scrape by while nothing seems worthwhile or interesting.

Yep! (Though “one or two” might be too few!)

That is part of it, but you also need to practice asking clarifying questions and collaborating around a solution. OP was pretty much guaranteed to fuck up their first go. It’s something that gets easier over time.

Also, something that really messed me around was that System Design questions have a particular form and expectations around them. So read up on how they flow and practice those too

Yes, but his hubris and ego had him make stupid and sloppy mistakes.

If anyone other than L started that investigation, Light would have won.

Yeah, but if they didn’t do anything then they’d get roasted and maybe sued for negligence.

That’s some serious editorialising in that there blurb.

Can I have your stuff?

Let’s try more!
