The "tell me about yourself" interview question might feel intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. Here are our best tips for a great answer. "I am Vinz, Vinz Clortho, Keymaster of Gozer. Volguus Zildrohar, Lord of the Sebouillia."

I've gotten my jobs on this question alone. Rock solid answer everytime.
"I'm a go getter who doesn't take no for an answer. Mostly because I don't take rejection well, but I do tend to send flowers to the hospital bed of those who have said No to me and lived to tell about it. By the way, when do I start?"

If you consider David some sort of "hero", I definitely think that you should trust what you have heard from your Sunday School teacher, and NOT start reading about him in The Book of Books.
You might come across, say, that story about when he slaughtered two hundred soldiers so he could cut certain pieces off their dead bodies to use as payment for his (first) bride. Maybe you think the nature of his relationship with Jonathan is OK - I don't care, but lots of people do. Maybe you think it is OK to rob another man's young wife and order her husband to go to war and get killed so he won't make any fuss. Some people may even have objections to a grown man throwing all his clothes and dance stark naked in front of the servant girls of his men.
David adorers are probably better off trusting their Sunday School teacher.

As for the points you raise:
- David slaughtered 200 Philistine soldiers (who were enemies of the Kingdom of Israel) in order to get his bride price. This was King Saul's attempt to dispose of David, as he didn't want David's blood on his hands. (I Samuel 18,6-30)
- I grant you that David and Jonathan's relationship can be read as you imply. It can also be read as an extremely close friendship, where David and Jonathan were closer than many brothers. Certainly David's biological brothers were nothing much to write home about.
- As the commentators point out, formally, each of David's acts re Uriah and Bat-Sheba were legitimate. Ethically, they stank to high Heaven, the prophet Nathan reproved him for them, and David was punished for them by God. I suggest that you read the rest of the story (II Samuel 11 - 12,25), and Psalm 51.
- The Old Testament records that David was dancing with all his strength before the Ark of the Lord. His wife Michal (Saul's daughter) reproved him for his lack of dignity, not for exposing himself. I also suggest that you read David's reply (II Samuel 6,14-23)
If you intend to quote the Old Testament, please do it the courtesy of fully quoting in context.

I didn't say nothing about good and evil. Only about small and giant.
I don't care if the small Meta is good or bad, I just think Facebook-Meta and Zuckerberg should more often be liable for what they do. And just a brand name / copyright issue is for me as good as all the other faults they have never been accounted for.

Like Microsoft Loop components, Adaptive Card-based Loop components are live, actionable units of productivity that stay in sync and move freely across Microsoft 365 apps, starting with Microsoft Teams chat and Microsoft Outlook. Unfortunately, in order to qualify, "actionable units of productivity" must actually mean something to you.

Row upon row of microscopic hockey pucks etched into a silicon chip could hold the key to making quantum computers at practical scale and allow for un-crackable encrypted information to be sent over long distances. It's both sorry, and not sorry at the same time (until you collapse the wave function)

I can see this having a place in companies. Think about all the water cooler discussions and other social activities that occur in many companies and this fits right in with them.

20 years ago I contracted at a company that used "the office package that everyone legendarily hates" - anyway, so they had all of these user forums for all of their different company supported groups. Now mind you, fb is fb to mine data. Microsoft wants to be able to mine what companies are doing. You think there is some other reason why they want companies to go to the cloud and 365? Hmm.
Anyway, after announcement after announcement of awards to assorted groups: single moms, mixed this, mixed that. It doesn't really matter. We're talking 100s of thousands of dollars - some engineer commented, "Can we get some money for training and research?" and was told, "Get on the train or find another place...."
Company does not exist any more.
Microsoft made it's money with the OS and Office. I live in the embedded world and we are on Windows embedded. Not for much longer. FML.
