Etc. ..we could augment that by advicing C-level people on how their HR staff skills impacts programmer etc production staff hiring, which again impacts product quality, which again etc eventually impacts both their own profit share, and their share holders profits. > > Those who care enough about reducing the overhead will avoid > > or limit their use of dbus. > > Agreed. ..having HR people make such dbus etc braggers come up with simple answers on "why", rather than the usual avalanche on "how", will help hiring businesses pick the good competent profitable staff they need to become or remain profitable businesses. ..good "why" questions on "why a solution was chosen over another" in e.g. a dbus git branch, of course require a fair bit of research, which again creates new(?) markets for such good questions and HR staff hiring interview coaching, etc. ..which again I hope will improve future code quality by discouraging future such dbus, pulseaudio, gnome, systemd etc type resume builder code "quality", e.g. funded and written by people coaching HR staff weeding out the sources of such "quality." -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
