    My son is 11,autistic, and obsessed with Minecraft. I manage a team of 4 Database Engineers. At some point I started to talk to them like how the parenting courses told me to communicate with my son and the team morale and overall performance has shot up so much we got an award

      This must be why all those people fled from England to America back in the day. 😜

      @argv_minus_one @StarkRG @jonm funny enough, today I wouldn't flee from Germany to England, but I'm genuinely considering emigrating to Scotland.

          @StarkRG @fesshole I've been told off by a past manager for being particular with the words I'm using, but in a technical field those words have proper meanings, so being unambiguous is important

          Outside of the arts, I can't think of many fields where clear and unambiguous communication *isn't* important.

            @argv_minus_one @StarkRG @jonm nothing special really. It's just that fascists have taken over Germany and it's no longer a matter of "if" but "when" people like me will be put in KZs again.
            Never in all my travels across europe have I encountered nicer and kinder people than in Scotland (by a very great margin). So I was hoping that I could find a small village somewhere in the outback where I would be left alone and in peace.

                  Although to be fair, Minecraft isn't exactly mission-critical. Nobody's going to die or lose a million bucks if it crashes. One kid will be temporarily annoyed, and that's it.

                        @argv_minus_one @murodegrizeco The bad guys were already on the server. Minecraft was, where log4j was first discovered.

                            @murodegrizeco @argv_minus_one Container mess is especially strange thing, as a lot of those containers are essentially 3rd party "managed". So it might take a while before 3rd parties fix anything on the container images. 😞

                                    Yeah, I'm not seeing anything there that's specific to autism. That's sage advice for dealing with just about anybody.

                                    @argv_minus_one @jonm Sure, it's really more about being mindful and considerate about the differences in the way people operate. Employers, especially the mega-corporate kind, seem to want to treat employees like interchangeable cogs, forcing all of them to operate identically and eliminating any that wear out too quickly. While my advice makes things nicer for everyone, it's more of a necessity for autistic employees lest they burn out too quickly.

                                      Scotland is great. People are mostly lovely, infrastructure is great and there are lots of things to do. And the light is incredible.

                                        @fesshole Yup. Attending those parenting seminars. Best thing I've done for personal growth. Taught me how to do de-escalation much better.

                                        How did your deescalation skills improve?
