AFAIK it was part of a larger restoration of the whole building complex (this is the Budapest Nyugati railway station), and the global redesign of McDonalds. They justified it by saying that the architecture is closer to the original - the lower level only became part of it when they built the McDonalds in 1990, before that it was a separate diner for the poors in third class. The furniture is default McDonalds.
The overall restoration on the building at large is not bad per se, but they basically destroyed a symbol of the Hungarian 90s - 00s. This was the place where if you lived in Budapest and got wasted, you could get some nutrition in the city center, and it wasn’t full of tourists because they didn’t think that the railway station buffet was so good.
BTW the local franchisee is trying to cater more to a “fast casual” crowd rather than the bare minimum, so a McDonalds in Hungary has a menu three times as long as one in the Netherlands for example. All I’m saying is that it was a nice place considering. Sic transit gloria mundi I guess.
We used to have the only McDonald’s (that I know of) that was in a building designed by Eiffel.
They “modernised” it last year.
Ten years and counting here, fuck if anyone knows at this point. My personal (maybe a bit cynical) take is that it really doesn’t matter as the amount of coding skill you use maxes out in the first few years of your career (for 90% of us anyhow), after that cat herding skills and pragmatic system architecture is what’s important. It becomes more important to know what not to do rather than the opposite.
So it doesn’t really matter how fast you are at leetcode if you can navigate the particular brand of spaghetti your workplace is cooking, plus points if you are able and willing to grok new kinds so you can hop jobs because raises are so last century.
Yeah, unlike an outsourcing outfit an AI company won’t take the fall when given shit requirement and shit pay they deliver shit work.

Magyar pledged to have a referendum on Ukraine joining, when the question actually comes up. I don’t know what else he can do right now, considering the situation.
Most Hungarians support the unconditional early joining of Ukraine BTW, and a lot more support it if conditions are kept.

They were - justifiedly - salty because Trump slap-chopped their hero-general-guy back in the first edition of the US Fuckening between 2016 and 2020. So they did try to whack Trump, but they were also betting on him losing the election because like the rest of the world, they also can’t fathom how absolutely fucking stupid the US voter is.
They are a big drone producer, and I wonder if they can copy Ukraine and spiderweb the fuck out of AF1.

Same thing on the other side, lots of AI filtering on job applications, and also companies sometimes leave job ads up even if not hiring to “keep tabs on the market” and have HR departments keep doing something during hiring freezes.
