If most of that debt was an investment on energy transition, education, research, we'd be absolutely fine. But from what I gathered it's mostly QE that ends up as extra dividends.

That's really just being a Luddite, I understand the mindset but that's a very poor strategy if one cares about job security. A (good!) senior developer has a ton of value outside of the pure mastery of a language specs, not to me

good devs*, not all senior devs have learned that, sadly. As a junior dev I've worked under the rule of senior devs who were over-applying arbitrary principles, and that wasn't fun. Some absolute nerds have a hard time understandi

I really don't see why we should refrain from judging a corporation on its values. Morality applies to people, and corporations are (still) entirely driven by people. If Apple's C-suite and a couple activist shareholders wanted to
