I've been having more and more conversations with fellow tech workers about wanting to quit and work in something completely different.
Feels like the only thing stopping so many (including me) is that no other industry really feels stable or secure enough to be that much better at the moment.
Love for tech that these people used to feel, that I used to feel too, is gone. Extinguished. Drowned in schemes and forced adoption and normalized deceptive business practices.

Did it turn out that the railway pass bought in KD ticket office doesn't work with the barcode scanners used in KW? Perhaps.
Did I immediately start scanning and analyzing the barcodes? Of course.
Well, KD tickets have two codes: a QR code with binary mash encoded in base64 (unnecessarily), which unfortunately I don't have time to analyze, and a code128 barcode with the ticket series and number, encoded as:
AA000000000 (0)
On the other hand, KW/PR have only code128 with the series and number, but without the digit in parentheses (perhaps a checksum?), even though it is printed on the pass:

Why Cooperation Beats Competition If You Design It Right
We praise competition because it slings us awake, but the quiet truth is that cooperation does the heavy lifting.
