Back before writing when everything was oral history this was technically true. I mean files were stories and peer to peer transfer was telling each other stories.

Ok granted I didn't take that into account. That's a good point.

One time I was sick. I was stuck in the bathroom rotating between sitting and kneeling. I texted my team lead and said I couldn't come in and I was taking a sick day.

He responded by claiming I was lying and was not really sick. I responded with a picture of the toilet bowl after several rounds(unflushed).

He responded with "get well soon"

Yeah that's fucked up. From two perspectives 1. Who ever wrote that library needs money to survive. 2. From the company point of view they wasted WAY more money on the development then the license. Hell if 1 developer spent a day to do it, they paid more than they would for the license

I used to be on the gross margin improvement team. Basically our job was to implement projects which reduced cost.

I don't think a single person's job was eliminated because of my work. I remember creating about 35 jobs. For example I had a project where I identified about $900k in potential savings per year. We had to spend $50k one time and hire an employee for about $60k per year but still saved about $900k.

Employees are cheap(even expensive ones). Simple things like hire an employee to check something at step 3 so you are not paying people to do steps 4-20 will easily pay for itself if that issue at step 3 happens enough. Like for example that's the whole point of unit testing software. Pay someone to write tests all day everyday even at an high salary, say $150k reduces costs of tech support, reduces cost of later testing, improves value of product, increases sales etc. If you want to be negative this is value stolen from the worker. But if an employee doesn't make you a profit, why are they a employee? Like if you pay $70k for an employee who causes $50k in revenue... Fire them and make yourself a 20k raise. Now if you pay someone $70k and they make you $700k that's immoral...

I want to rent an apartment, hang "family photos" like the right one around and then put it up on Airbnb and see what happens...

Actually cutting the sandwich cause some amount of crumbs and some amount of sandwich ends up on the knife. It's a minuscule amount but a uncut sandwich gives you the most sandwich.

Generally your blind spot is larger on the right side(especially on tractor trailers) so it's more likely to result in an accident.
