Inevitable Politics
Tomorrow we're voting here. Things have become a lot more political for us in recent years [1, 2] and many folks who were apathetic towards politics for decades are increasingly interested because of the "cost of living" crisis, wars that contribute to this crisis, and various other factors that led to a rapid shuffle of leadership (we've had many Prime Ministers this past decade).
In technology, provided the work you do has growing impact (we served almost 2 million requests yesterday), things will inevitably become more political - whether you like it or not does not matter. █
