“Never underestimate...” 
But in this case they were phishing sites, so worthy of attention.

Fishing is boring.
(I do wonder how much of these sites are actually sponsored by the government or mostly exist due to a largely unregulated market [with the Russian government watching all the traffic "just in case".])

Repeat after me: "The USA is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic." One more time. "The USA is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic."
Okay, right, the USA is really a plutocracy masquerading as a constitutional republic. But it isn't a democracy.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I would say I'm dating myself by mentioning that, but dating ones self is weird. What if I turned myself down one night because I just didn't feel like going out? I could always ask a chatbot I guess.

Writing prose and writing code have a lot in common, but perhaps the biggest similarity is that neither writers nor programmers can get things done on time. "It's always something"

I usually get my programming done on time, it's just not the time everyone else wishes it could be.

Over a century before Allen and Gates wrote their BASIC interpreter, Ada Lovelace wrote and published a computer program. She, too, wrote a program for a computer that had only been described to her. But her program, unlike the Microsoft BASIC interpreter, was never run, because the computer she was targeting was never built. It didn't compile as she forgot a semi-colon on line 15, and misspelled a header filename
And there was no compiler yet

One thing that has worked for 100% of the companies I have worked with in the past is to offer various bonuses based on company performance and so on, talk about how they are usually 2% to 5% of your salary, then every year give out no bonus at all because the company isn't performing well enough, and talking to your coworkers they remember a time back in the 90s when the got about £20.
