5/15 - Trump didn't leak anything
5/16 - Trump: Yeah I did it
5/16 (Also) - It was okay for him to leak the thing
5/16 (Also Also) - He didn't know what he was saying, so therefore it couldn't be classified

Trump will call him in and yell "you're fired!" for each of Jared's 9 jobs:

1) Brokering peace in the Middle East.
2) Solving America’s opioid epidemic.
3) Being a "shadow diplomat" for diplomacy with Mexico.
4) Diplomacy with China.
5) Reforming health care for veterans.
6) Reforming the criminal justice system.
7) Streamlining the federal government and making it work like a business.
8) Talking with Iraq about how to deal with ISIS
9) Running the Office of American Innovation, described as a “SWAT team of strategic consultants.”

is Kush even actually doing any of the jobs he's been assigned to do?

I feel like he's been loving off on vacation and waiting for the Trump administration to implode rather than waste his time

In private, three administration officials conceded that they could not publicly articulate their most compelling — and honest — defense of the president: that Mr. Trump, a hasty and indifferent reader of printed briefing materials, simply did not possess the interest or knowledge of the granular details of intelligence gathering to leak specific sources and methods of intelligence gathering that would do harm to United States allies.

But, like, this was their defense today! In public! Twice! :psyduck:

schools don't teach actual programming, e.g. what 99% of jobs are, which is maintenance of a massive and lovely codebase with tons of technical debt

companies that are utter garbage still expect to hire the unicorns that can get paid twice as much out in the bay/ny/whatever with stocks and other benefits, and that attitude is only going to get worse. said companies keep up appearances by pretending to hire even if they will only hire if they get that unicorn, which they never do

There is a growing sense that Mr. Trump seems unwilling or unable to do the things necessary to keep himself out of trouble, and that the presidency has done little to tame a shoot-from-the-hip-into-his-own-foot style that characterized his campaign.

There is a fear among some of Mr. Trump’s senior advisers about leaving him alone in meetings with foreign leaders out of concern he might speak out of turn. General McMaster, in particular, has tried to insert caveats or gentle corrections into conversations when he believes the president is straying off topic or onto boggy diplomatic ground.

This has, at times, chafed the president, according to two officials with knowledge of the situation. Mr. Trump, who still openly laments having to dismiss his first national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, has groused that General McMaster talks too much in meetings, and the president has referred to him as “a pain,” according to one of the officials.

In private, three administration officials conceded that they could not publicly articulate their most compelling — and honest — defense of the president: that Mr. Trump, a hasty and indifferent reader of printed briefing materials, simply did not possess the interest or knowledge of the granular details of intelligence gathering to leak specific sources and methods of intelligence gathering that would do harm to United States allies.

the anecdotal reports of mass tech/dev hiring is a complete and utter lie for a few main reasons, most of which have to do with the upper end of tech being to blame

Also when the tech industry says "There's high demand across the sector" they usually mean "There's high demand among MBAs for team leads to waltz in and save their dying projects for equity and entry level compensation"
