Is it time? Maybe. Will they do it? Probably not. The European countries constantly talk and never act. It took the second Russian invasion of Ukraine for them to even barely start to do anything and …

Has this ever been something you can ignore? You need to be able to interact with customers, communicate with other team members, mentor junior engineers, etc. I know there is the trope of the abrasiv…

Reading the headline all I can think about is that many people with autism are not capable of communicating, or if they are, only in a limited way. Literally people who do not have a voice to speak fo…
