Always make technical choices based upon technical need, not politics (politics change)

The greatest challenge an Engineer faces is to convince their management to do the :Right Thing:

Do not fight dragons too long, lest you become one - Nietczhe

Never judge a person based on hearsay

Do not let morality stand in the way of doing the right thing - Asimov, The Foundation Trilogy

The Three forms of Revenge

• The worst form Revenge - that which you commit upon others; you lower yourself to their level (see dragons, above)

• The next form of revenge - that which your enemies commit upon themselves - this takes a long time for what comes around, comes around (but still a negative viewpoint).

• The best form of revenge - ignore the bastards and succeed like hell. (This works!)
