I feel like a lot of that is the medical system’s job. I did get footprinted as a baby born in Massachusetts.

Look for another job.

Companies like that are very unlikely to change their view that engineering’s quality and sustainability practices are a perpetual waste of money.

That, and product doesn’t know what they’re doing, and they’re okay with making engineering also suffer for it.

Nor do they care in practice about the engineers getting burned out.

After you leave, when you glance back at the company at any time for the next 5+ years, you will see that they have learned pretty much nothing.

I’ve been burned out once, and I’ll never let it happen to me again, or anyone I work with. It’s like depression; it’s an indescribable experience.

Here’s one self-test to measure how burned out you are: https://www.peoplestorming.com/burnout-assessment.

• Katana - quiet, and meant as a weapon against humans
• Night vision goggles - can take advantage of the cover of night
• Water purifier - greatly simplifies one human necessity
• Body armor - will put it on whenever there’s a risk

None of these are common household items, whereas some of the items on the list are, and thus, scavenged easily enough.

The CCP wants a military that can win against the counterparties in a Taiwan takeover, but the US (and probably a few other countries too) don’t want that because of the intellectual property that has been entrusted to TSMC.

The technological trade war is part of the military technology war. However, the US has been fighting military technology wars for over half a century now, so it at least has some practice.

EUV lithography is probably the most powerful military technology that can be stolen since the atomic bomb.
