Recruiters use GitHub profiles as a proxy for engagement and, I would assume, amount-of-stars-in-pet-project to be used as a KPI in this measurement.

I think that's asinine but I don't make the rules.

That's not how I evaluate people when I'm doing the hire.

The military dictatorship's human rights record was horrible and perverse, but at least they had better technical management and were nationalists. It's crazy we're down to the level of saying "well, but at least" when talking about the military dictatorship, but it is what it is.

Embrapa, Embraer, Petrobras, Eletrobras, the Rio - Niterói bridge, the nuclear power plants in Angra dos Reis, the nuclear power plant in Itaipu, the satellite launch station in Alcântara, among many others, were investments of the military dictatorship.

The current guy on the other is an entreguista and wants foreign military forces to have authority in Alcântara. A que ponto chegamos?!

I think Bolsonaro is the worst leader this country has had since, well, since pretty much recorded history.
