Others have said this person is competent and meeting his personal goals: building relationships and successfully evangelizing your department's work. I agree. He's not incompetent. He's just not a technician, and you are.

You have the makings of a fine partnership here, that uses your strengths and his to get things done. Don't forget that complementary talents and work styles are generally good. You are already the go-to guy for tech questions. He can be the go-to guy for relationship questions. SOMEBODY has to answer the questions, "how do we get whatever in the budget?" or "do you know anybody at our customer Initrode?"

But, this person has some things to learn about taking and sharing credit. It's up to you to give him appropriate feedback. Let's say he takes credit for something he personally did not do. Here's what you do:

1. Cool off if you're annoyed.

2. Speak to him in a place where nobody can overhear you.

3. Ask him to listen to everything you have to say without interrupting.

4. Describe, with particulars, the unwanted behavior. "Yesterday, in the team meeting, you said 'WE successfully framised the zumbinator under budget and ahead of schedule.'" (Don't generalize: don't say "you always take credit" or anything like that.)

5. Describe the behavior's effect on you. Speak for yourself only. "When you said 'we,' I was uncomfortable because I know you personally had nothing to do with that project. It sounded to me like you took credit for work you did not do. " (Don't say "the team gets annoyed" or anything like that.)

6. Ask for a change. "In future, please keep in mind that people who work hard on projects deserve credit for them. When you announce an accomplishment, please be careful to give credit to the right people."

7. Say why: "Personal pride in good work done is very important to me. We have a good partnership here. If you give credit to the right people we'll be even better. Thanks for listening."

8. DON'T expect him to immediately smack his forehead and say, "Oh I have been a fool. I'm sorry, I won't do it again." It takes people a while to absorb "constructive" feedback.
not even. more like "we've got a model that making us lots of money, lets not change just because some people keep whining about 'efficiency' and 'democratization'"
Well, it reviews worse than a lot of Pixar movies. Although the idea that all Pixar movies review well is a bit of a selective memory thing too. I observe there's basically two tiers of Pixar movies, the ones that get 9+ out of 10, and the ones that come in at 7 or below. There's not a lot of "OK" Pixar movies, though Incredibles 2 happens to be one of them.

Also, somewhat ironically, I disagree that Cars (Metacritic: 73) is one of Pixar's worst, on the grounds that there are quite a few worse movies from Pixar, not least of which are the two sequels Cars 2 (Metacritic: 57) and Cars 3 (Metacritic: 59) and the spinoff Planes (Metacritic: 39 (!)). Cars is slow, and dripping with nostalgia callouts for people who are now in their 70s or 80s (I asked my father, currently mid-60s, and he said it was even older than anything he was nostalgic for), but it's at least watchable once.

I know the feeling, but at one point you gotta stop repeating the same thing forever. Bitcoin is not a new thing that will repeat 1000% growth.
This reminds me of an anecdote from Liar's Poker where the writer talks about how not even the oil traders understood what caused the price of oil to move and so they'd just make up outlandish stories about the Saudis.
There is a laxative product that is commonly prescribed to childhood cancer patients that is just polyethylene glycol. You take about a teaspoon of plastic micropellets and stir them up in a glass of water and drink it.
If this is true, will there have been any major rise of Bitcoin that hasn't been caused by illegal & unethical manipulation? Serious question.
Some of the sketchier ones are suspected of pumping/dumping to liquidate their customers' shorts all the way to their own wallets, too.
> using proprietary software make you a bad person

We don't believe this. We argue that free software is important[0] because it gives users control over their technology, and proprietary software is bad because it denies users that control. We don't believe using proprietary software (whether by choice or otherwise) makes you a bad person.

If anyone is actually making this argument I would say they are doing the free software movement a disservice.

In the UK at least there has been a strong drive to regulate security companies through organisations like CREST and CHECK. The problem is that its an industry with a massive amount of hidden information. If somebody does a pen test on an corporate network and says "we didn't find any vulnerabilities" how does a company know if they have actually done a thorough check or if the network is genuinely secure?

Yes in an ideal world we wouldn't need certifications or exams or anything but this isn't an ideal world.
That's largely false. Imgur has tons of porn on it, you typically just don't see it on the front page. Imgur is the place to host albums of porn in a convenient way.

Tumblr wasn't allowing the cp. As the article says it was immedietely deleted. In what way is this different to reddit or imgur? I doubt either have better image recognition, if any at all.

Free publicity about having a safe work place, gaining a competitive advantage with regards to attracting talent based on this new policy, being seen as a pioneer as many other large firms inevitably adopt a similar policy, which leads to further publicity, which leads to attracting more talent, etc.

Sometimes fulfilling fiduciary obligations and creating a safer work environment aren't mutually exclusive...
Not to mention there are actual browser applications in the App store, such as Opera. Not to mention Safari itself. Are they saying there are filters in place in those apps for every single website on the internet? Do they do image analysis on every single image ever downloaded?

That said, the way this works is if people report Tumblr they will ban them. So, it is either luck of the draw, or the problem is worse on Tumblr.

And that said as well, there has been plenty of child porn on Twitter over the years. (Unfortunately I have run into this firsthand because I run Twicsy, a Twitter picture search engine that has indexed nearly 8 billion Twitter pictures)

No. There are currently two super powerful individuals fighting and are allegedly dragging down every thing on the market just because they don't like each other. What makes you think that this would be a good state of affairs for a world currency?
If the design of bitcoin requires it to be the only currency in the world, then it will never function correctly.
There really needs to be a FOSS model for detecting this stuff. As someone who got in trouble with the police hosting user generated content I've essentially stopped doing it entirely, although I'd want to.

There are some services that you can funnel content through, but getting access to them is tricky and getting a hit adds some reporting and compliance requirements, not to mention I'd be piping all my users images straight though microsofts servers.
"DOJ has such a high conviction rate because they only prosecute cases they expect to win."

Things like kingpin laws (continuing criminal enterprise) and RICO probably help the conviction rate.
One of my co-workers manages the SGI UV300 described at http://med.stanford.edu/gbsc/uv300.html (new purchased get hardware badged as the HPE MC990 X). It does fit most definitions of a supercomputer, as it's multiple nodes with interconnects that allow a single OS instance to run across all of them (the OS then sees & manages the separate NUMA nodes).

One thing that has been learned is, software will sometimes do interesting things if presented with so much memory. For example: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/7275
Such 'abnormal' people can usually work within the law too, by declaring currency etc.

AML is good because it makes it much more difficult for the proceeds of criminal activity to be blended in to the legitimate economy.
Yeah, it means within or even permeating or imbued in this context.
I kid you not, the main reason we haven't implemented vault yet, is not because we're worried about security. It's because we're deathly afraid of locking ourselves out by making a mistake, taking the whole system down.

Meaning, this makes Vault more of a "let's really dedicate time to think of every possible scenario" type implementation rather than "let's just keep adding a couple of secrets a week".

What has other people's experiences been?
If you can't stand to report to him, then you find another job, or at least find another department within your company so you're not under him. And it probably wouldn't hurt to talk about this conflict with other managers you do trust at the company (if you don't trust any of them, the problem almost certainly isn't them).

I've been in your shoes - a peer got promoted to be my manager when our old manager retired. We were okay as peers, but very bad in a hierarchy, and I eventually got fired. I should have just quit instead.

Still, though, I think you're letting resentment blind you. It's easy to be the hero of your own story, and for anyone you're in conflict with to be the villain, but that doesn't mean it's right. We're all unreliable narrators.

Try this exercise. Repeat after me... "I may be wrong. I am often wrong." This is my mantra. Recognize your own fallibility. Try looking at it from the perspective of "What if I'm wrong?" It solves a lot of problems (or leads to the correct solutions). And the more you do it, the easier it is. Consider my earlier point, that what he did isn't incompetence - not if his goal was to get out of technical and into management. And since he's apparently good at those people things, he might well be recognizing where his talents are, doing the right thing for himself and the organization.

Consider also a telling bit of evidence in your response to me - "we worked together for two years on a daily basis". If that's true, is it also true that you did all the work and he unfairly claimed credit? What was he doing, if he wasn't writing code? Is "kiss-ass" a fair assessment, or an resentful interpretation of his useful work? Try to stop being angry long enough to consider that.
TFL apparently meaning "Transport for London," in case I'm not the only person this wasn't obvious to.
Uhhh! She had every right. Free will. No other reasons need to be given. I’m not debating with you I’m just shocked that you would posit such a silly statement “but I don't know why she rejected their offers so many times.”
That was great, thanks.

This all reminds me of Socrates' claim in the Theatetus that "Philosophy begins in wonder," wonder being roughly equivalent to the the desire to reduce uncertainty, and the Platonic idea that philosophy is central to the good life.

Which leads to the ubiquitous Whitehead quote about western philosophy consisting of footnotes to Plato...

Coming from someone who agrees with supports environmental initiatives on e.g. plastic management and climate change, I always find it condescending and insensitive when people assume political differences will be resolved by "educating" the other side.

It's difficult to know how Indians would behave in an alternate universe where environmental awareness was a higher priority, but I don't find it hard to believe at all that an Indians (or Chinese, or Americans...) would knowingly pollute the environment even if they were aware of that effects. For developing countries especially, the economic gains of dirty industrialization are very attractive even despite the environmental costs. I could certainly understand many people in developing countries understanding both the benefits and the costs and going on to choose the same path that they're already on.
You're not being forced at all.
You're in an office, or the way I like to think of it - a tribe of "professionals". Like all tribes you have people who hunt, gather, tan leather, and make dinner.

The "best" hunter occasionally will bring back a deer, maybe once a week. The stable hunter brings back 15 fish every day; aka they feed the tribe consistently.

People recognize and praise the deer hunter more. Even if they bring back less food, they are visual and there is a celebration when a deer is brought back. Meanwhile the person bringing back fish, well, they feed the tribe, but it's consistent and not flashy.

To your post:

> I've been doing a lot of work to clean up the debt that was accumulated and, meanwhile, I improved the reliability and the efficiency of the infrastructure. I wrote common components and library to avoid duplication and shared it with wiki pages on how to implement certain things correctly.

First, it sounds like you may have done unnecessary optimizations (aka not a "good" job at delivering real business value). I'm not saying that's the case, but always be wary of "delivering" what no one asked for. At the very least, you didn't bring back a deer, you delivered a steady stream of fish. It actually appears like you built a new net, but at the same time catch the same number of fish.

Second, it appears the deer hunter has already been made chief (aka manager), and you're still catching fish. So now it's your job (if you want to stay there) to figure out how to work together. Explain what you'd like to do, and where you'd like to go. As a manager it's his responsibility to work with you to achieve those goals. Move to be the next deer hunter, and learn from the chief on how to get there.

Clearly, they appear to be better at distributing the work and / or self-promoting. Ask them to promote you too, work with them to ensure you're being promoted as well. As a manager, they can only be as successful as their underlings. Use that value you create to benefit both of you. At this point it's not a zero sum game. Both of you can move up the ranks, albeit in different paths.

Looking for a new job is also an option, but in any case. You need to refocus, you were out maneuvered politically -- you lost. However, it doesn't appear your goal was to manage, you thought bringing in the regular solid work would promote you. It doesn't, solid development does nothing, achieving business goals and sharing it is the key.

Keep in mind taking an open source library and distributing it often brings more value to the company than new development. The person who distributes that library is far more likely to get promoted (open source or internally developed - it doesn't matter).
"like kids being addicted to screens."

I really felt this conflicted horribly with the setting, too. I'll accept for movie purposes the nifty modern computer screens that Syndrome uses or is on the Elastibike, but this is the 50s or very early 60s. Yeah, people were fulminating against TV screens then, but not to an extent I'd make a huge movie about it. It's a modern issue in a 1950s world, making even less sense than some of the strained political commentary sometimes set back in time.

I thought the same thing. When I buy "olive oil", I just think of it more as a style than a product actually made from olives. I don't think an olive tree crisis will have an impact on whatever I'm buying.
Perhaps a dumb question but how do you know it was one person/organization as opposed to general market forces?
I thought that the value that I create will talk more than the nonsense of some people

The value you create doesn't talk about you except to people who know you're the one who created it.
Absolutely those are all important qualities but the idea that certs are completely worthless just doesn't hold any weight.

Can I ask if you apply the same logic to the lawyers? Do you think the bar exam is pointless? What about chartered accountants? Or Engineers? Should pilots have to pass a test? What about drivers license tests? Are they just worthless pieces of paper too?
It is an open secret that it is about self service instead of actual fiscal obligations. It is essentially the exact same thing as government corruption. It happens in every large and powerful organization essentially.

Which brings to mind the irony of how very stereotypically corporate the USSR acted with things like attributing the entire output of a coal mine to one miner to boost their productivity figures and circular shipping coal on trains to boost their transported coal metrics.

The public is finally seeing the structural weaknesses in crypto. The sales pitches never really talk about forking or it's impact. Now it's clear, I think, to most layman investors that forking is going to result in a long-term erosion of crypto value.

Each fork is dividing the value of your holdings, and most people don't have enough information to know what to do about it. Initially, they might be happy they doubled their holdings, but when the sum value of the forks don't add up to the pre-fork value, then people will eventually feel like they are getting scammed and exit.
I was significantly older than 40 when I entered the security field after a career in development and technical management. I would consider this phase of my career successful.

What has worked for me is a burning curiosity about security, software and things that go crash at night. And a desire to learn.

Two books are very helpful--The Art of Software Security Assessment, and the Web Application Hackers Handbook. There are many resources available on the web--CTF exercises, post mortems, instructive blog posts, scary news feeds, free tools.

After getting into security as an application security guy, I ended up with a gig that enabled me to build a team of 15, none who had previous security experience, none of whom had or were expected to get certificates. The team did (and is still doing) some terrific things, and now has expanded responsibilities.

So look for jobs that give you a work sample product test and don't require certificates. Make your own learning plan.

NYC's fantastic. It's one of the safest major metropolitan areas in the world filled with a tremendous variety of culture. It's the most diverse place on the planet with only London even being at a comparable level.

And the level of contempt for people riding subways? Where do you get off? Not only are they better for the environment, they're one of the great equalizers. Any person can ride the subway for the same price as anyone else and get around the entire city 24 hours a day.

They get people to work during odd shifts, and allow those without so much to reach the same places those with so much can.

What a weird, haughty, better than thou comment.
Why would it affect BTC, let alone ETH and others?
No utility = no value. Tell me, how much utility is there one ethereum? Currently close to none. Why in the world would anyone pay anything over transaction value for eth? I think the answer is clearly hype and irrational behavior we saw in 2017 crypto rush. What we are seeing is natural return to real value, which for most crypto is next to nothing. Bitcoin is a bit different as you know and my bet with that one is someone or multiple someones with hefty bags are liquidating to save their asses.
It's sad that people look at this and just say "silly anti-vaxxers". The proper response is "How can parents get with endangering the lives of their own and their neighbor's children?"
Every time I read tech news on IBM's Z series mainframes I wonder what a minimum viable / reasonable build out of this hardware might be. As a regular human there's no way or reason I'd ever really need an actual mainframe but the hardware itself has fascinated me for a long time.
I don't think your colleague is incompetent. Instead he has a better understanding of the reality of a company than you have.

My advice is that you learn the political game. Otherwise you have a lifetime of resentment and disappointment ahead of you.

You don't need to use politics to do evil things. But you need to understand how it works and protect yourself. Nobody gets ahead by just doing good work.
Averaging subjective metrics doesn't turn them into an objective metric.
Front running news is a standard play.

The line for me has always been lying and sabotaging others, but I've found that even this sort of honesty gets you blindsided by those who don't share it. You don't anticipate it when you aren't in the habit of doing it.

As a thought experiment, try to re-imagine the idea of honour as a luxury, where people raised to value and expect it have been saddled with a privileged misapprehension that they do not have the power to enforce on their environments.

Viewed through this lens, an expectation of honesty and relationships with principles and interactions according to rules is an artifact, if not the definition, of a poor education - one that does not equip them to succeed in organizations that have optimized this costly luxury out.

Ending this thought experiment, consider how someone without that luxury and little exposure to it might operate, and what it might mean if to succeed, you had to leave a luxury you took for granted from a former life behind.

My recommendation would be to grieve it briefly, look forward to a time when it doesn't cost you dearly as it has, and then move on.
