A lot of my development experience is actually about handling people. Both management and other developers. Ego is indeed a big problem. I wish my job would be just programming/designing/debugging/testing, but this is not the nature of most of the jobs. Instead it is managing expectations, estimations, negotiating specs, features, explaining what is realistic, what is not, what is possible and what is not and why. It gets tiring quickly and is also thankless as often arrogant people who aren’t actually helpful or working in the best interest of the company get mistaken for rock stars and get to do even more damage you need to fix. You also need to deal with that from time to time.

Indeed. That any imperialist ruler or diplomat gets a peace prize is absurd. Especially from the USA, but any big power would also be absurd.

Wtf? So nobody even pretends Kosovo is a normal place anymore?

He ain’t going of his own will. The EU is keeping quiet. The people are revolting, but no one is on their side. The people have been disappointed by the EU turining their head around to our struggle, because Vucic has promised them lots of things. The people will win eventually, but the public opinion of EU will be forever marred by their inaction. Then, someone else will swoop in and get the people’s approval an the EU is of course not gonna like it.

…and four brave cowboys lost their hats…
