What about what Doctor Phil said is wrong?
You shouldn't just dismiss legitimate anxieties because you don't like who is saying it.

No one is interested in hiring a subjective graphic artist.
You either have the skills or you don't.
"We're looking for a brochure that portrays the client's medical services firm in a clean and professional manner. We need it to be responsive, with icons delivered in multiple formats, conform to the client's colour scheme, and fit with their existing branding. And we need it by Thursday."
"Hang on, I think I have some old prison art of a knight I can trace over on my iPad. It'll be done by February 2025."

All of these conspiracy videos are based on the idea that people wouldn't make a big long youtube video in which they lie and make stuff up - an incorrect supposition.

Terrifying decision to make. But it's summer, and people need to be at work. Based on the numbers it's clear that the lockdown isn't working, and it's common sense that even if it did, Corona will be back this winter, worse than ever.
Unlike China Americans and Europeans don't/won't wear masks and don't have the societal organisation or the will to do extraordinary things to get rid of viruses. That's what living in a globalised heterogenous diverse and multicultural society is like.
I expect to be back in the office this summer, then working from home again this winter.

Java is OK when you get into it, but super slow. Yeah, they bullshit about how Java is so fast because of how fast it executes loops or whatever, and blame it being slow on the programmers being Indian basically (if you read between the lines) but when you're sitting around a minute waiting for a Java program to load it's becomes obvious what the reality is.
About the only problem with Cobol is ANSI encoding fucking up foreign people's ńämęß.
What would you recommend for a new project at a big bank, that isn't framework-of-the-month, and is reasonably secure and maintainable?

Wario that thread contains a lot of very genuine, kind, and actionable advice that you should take and act on.
I mean you need to work on your skills ... tracing over your old prison art on your iPad just won't cut it.
