That's the face I've made just yesterday when my friend told me she's now eligible for a subsidized IT mortgage. That thing was one of Russia's last ditch attempts at stopping skilled workers from fucking off to different countries. The problem is, she's a web designer. I guess that counts as IT nowadays, so good for her. But it's bitter to hear as sr. backend tech who never hit the criteria...

That's pretty much how the Russian economy works right now, in a nut shell. To stop emigration caused by the expensive war, they're giving away a ton of expensive handouts.

The interest rate is at 19% and counting. Very cool, very sustainable. I have a feeling "the last laugh" will be yours, OP, even if they win in Ukraine.

I'm both, and while I do hate myself, I don't think it's related, so I'm not sure I get it.

(I hate computers more, though, except when they're turned off — no bugs when they're off —, but they're the only thing I'm good enough at to make a living off of.)

Hating computers is normal for people who love computers

This is so true... it's so frustrating sometimes...
