This dude needs to tone it down like...by 75%. This is so hard to listen to, I have no idea what's going on or what he's talking about, and I *know* what Spy Party is.
This may be extremely naive of me to ask, but why don't companies just hire more programmers to ease the workload. How is crunch unavoidable???
Also, John St. John really needs to reign his brother in. It only took reading half of that 'millennial's are the lazy moochers of industry' blog to realize that the dude's a fucking tool.
They just have terrible project management. You don't need to (usually) throw more people at the problem, you need to be realistic about your goals and experienced in your approach.
(the real answer being that companies exploit their workers because it's cheaper for them to do that than to properly manage a project)
One thing I do want to point out is that Rey really does seem to know way more than she should at the time that she does. I think it's a realistic question to put to the movie that doesn't really have a good answer.
In the first Star Wars movie, Luke is preternaturally good with the force, but he also does essentially nothing with it other than hear voices and shoot a missile well. He's also shown several force techniques before Ben dies. He doesn't pull a lightsaber until the next movie (and I think a year passes?) and he doesn't use the mind trick until the third movie and yoda. So, it's not like Luke was doing the things that Rey was doing in a new hope but since she's a girl people are flipping out. That might be why some are, but the difference in ability is stark.
Personally, I was thinking about this, and I think that decision was purposeful, and I think her vision she received when she touched the lightsaber kind of osmosis force trained her, like a holocron in the Expanded Universe might do. Because like, how would she even know what a mind trick *is*. She's never seen one. Or maybe she literally learned from Ren while he was interrogating her. I think the movie could have done a better job of relaying this sort of thing if that was what it was going for.
