Advice I would give my younger self: if someone has a reputation for fighting for a cause you believe in, that says nothing about whether they are a kind person. If you meet or interact with them, it will go as well as if you met someone at random you've never heard of.
If someone has a reputation for kindness, then meeting them will probably go well. I've never regretted meeting someone after a person I trust said of them "Wow person xyz is the nicest, kindest human being I know."

While reading the "Broken Earth" trilogy, I think about Minecraft constantly. This might sound like a facile comparison, as if to say the novels are a little more than simplistic Lego bricks. But to the contrary. The novels emotionally inform my experience of the game. The comparison dignifies one rather than diminishing the other.
When it comes to Microsoft (Visual Studio, TFS, ASP, and the .NET ecosystem, among other things), I find myself in an awkward position.
1. I have unknown unknowns. I don't know what I don't know.
2. My colleagues have "the curse of expertise". They don't know what to teach me, because they have forgotten what it was like to not know.
I have now worked in an all-Microsoft software company for three months. I spent my entire previous career avoiding Microsoft products, and spent most of my time on the command line in Mac and Linux. Since I work in Javascript and CSS rather than C#, this is not a problem...
... mostly. The problems emerge with user story work tracking, version control, and deploys.

Housing discrimination could become easier to get away with if @HUDgov’s new proposed rules take effect. Housing providers shouldn’t be allowed to launder discrimination with algorithms. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/tell-hud-algorithms-are-no-excuse-discrimination
