This is a real post.

For those of you not in tech, this is cringeworthy, not even up to the standards of schlocky tech adjacent dramas where people say airgapped a lot and clone cellphones using ham radio parts found in the basement.

Possibly "engineer" is the operative word. πŸ˜‰

This was one of my favorite Zip2 Myth Busters:

@Cosmichomicide I remember the ego. Back then I'd come fresh from teaching sophomores and juniors so I adjusted just fine.

My favorite was the consultant who came in to pitch his solution but had based it on a serious lack of understanding of the underlying system. When I pointed that out, he informed me of all his credentials and all the exhaustive work he had done on the analysis and thank you very much.

He carried on and I pointed out another issue, he snapped at me and I rolled my eyes. Visibly. BIG eye roll.

He asked me to leave. The director pointed out I built the system.

I hate those guys.

I love Zoom and I love WFH. I'm a chronic eye roller with no tolerance for edgelords or buzzword bois. I live to turn off video and have a good eye roll. πŸ™„

@Cosmichomicide Hubs and I both in IT, me in quality/regulatory, project management. He still is a PM and definitely does same. I've been out for years.
