Always shocks me that some people are actually proud of and recommend this kind of stuff. I guess it makes sense for a google talk, especially given how the google promo and perf review system works.

It’s regarded as pseudoscience? That seems generous, it’s not even that. It’s just a book some guy wrote.

Not sure it’s aspired to be anything else. Though, in fairness it seems to have succeeded somewhat on those terms.

you dont have to be proud of it or approve of it to recognize that this is a real thing people do. it helps you realize when it’s being done to you.
