not my experience at all across 3 separate companies. Ime senior engineers are the highest level that still spends most of the day heads down most days, and that’s why I’m gonna stick it out at this level as long as I can.

your company has money for no one above mid-level engineers to be actually building the product?

rules aren’t there to be enforced, they’re there so that when you break them you take a second to think about why.

tldr - you’ll just have to do the conversions in your head now because it’s useful to know where the sun is at different points on the earth when trying to communicate across those points.

the fact that the acronym for Coordinated Lunar Time is LTC tells you everything you need to know about how this will work.

Oh I still use it regularly. There’s still no better collection of free tabs online that I know of. Just stay away from the subscription part.

they’re still available for free, UG is sorta the main clearinghouse now and the days of googling “band - song chords” and being taken to someone’s geocities page have passed but the information is still there. There’s just a whole bunch of unnecessary garbage built into the subscription that they try to sell you.

puts me in mind of the old guru meditation error messages that popped up in the stone knives and bearskins era of computing.

this, but doubly so with Eve. You’ll notice that we often skip over Cindy and Dave and go right to Eve, so often that I don’t even know off the top of my head whether Charlie and Deandra are the conventional names for persons 3 and 4 in this construct. That’s because this construct is used a lot when talking about secure communications and the convention is that “evil” “eavesdropping” Eve is the person trying to destroy, intercept or alter the communication between Alice and Bob. Her role is built into her name.

it’s only dumb til it works

We paid researchers to determine if Grandmas can be crushed by mountains of third-party ink cartridges

surely for some small fee I can refresh the cartridge chip certificate

every once in a while they’ll just tell you how stupid they think you are. don’t ever forget it.

select only what you need and use limit

you don’t know the structure of the contacts table, and do you really want christmas gifts to only go to the first x number of nice people?

update contacts set name = ‘Grinch’ where name = ‘FellowHuman’;
