It really depends who is recording you and their resources... Is it Tom down the street who you're hiding the weekend get away from? Yeah, switching languages have a high likely hood of working. Is it interpol who you're hiding a human trafficking operation from? Nope, no chance simply changing languages will work.

I want like a sub sandwich with American cheese coated with manwich ...

As long as you don't work with cows it shouldn't matter, Now if it a job on a dairy farm...

There's the old saying "having money isn't everything but not having it is"

Actually I think he screwed it

Ok that is truly horrid...

Can you say what the point of it actually was?

Are they speaking to you to improve it? Or like that's just how they do it so account for it in what you are doing?

Ok,this maybe too nerdy of a topic for here but that's why I love unit tests.

Basically I write a piece of code that gets this input and generated that output. I also make a test to verify that I get a certain output given a certain input.

Now if I spend all day futzing within that code , changing variable names, refactor and extract a large function to 10 small ones, decide to re-write all the SQL queries to linq arguments...I can fuck up and tests may fail. I fix the failing code to still pass the test. I know I delivered code that met the requirements, hopefully improved it, but I know I didn't fuck it up enough to not do what it's expected to do.

Plus source control...I mess around with code, my tests all pass...I commit it...I mess around more, can't get the tests to pass, oh well quitting time roll back to previous working commit. Boss may be mad I didn't improve it but at least I didn't break it. Zero gain day is better than negative gain...

I did this back in probably 2008 with Linux mint.

I hear he likes to *****!

I didn't but a former supervisor of mine did. He was a good leader and manager.

My company gives a discount on health insurance if you have a yearly physical and answer a survey. They bring in a company, setup in a large room, you make an appointment, go to the room they do a physical and you get a discount the next year.

One year my appointment was right after my boss. They drew blood, tested it and the nurse said "that can't be right", she did it a second time the called over another nurse. Second nurse said "that's not possible, you must of done something wrong" and did a third test. After that they call over the doctor who wanted to retest but they said they already tested him 3 times. HR was brought in and he was basically told to go to a doctor the next day and not to return to work till he was seen by a doctor.

He went to the doctor and when he came back to work asked to be removed from supervisor and put on the line as a regular worker.

His doctor basically told him the stress from the job was killing him, he could either have the job or keep living. He choose life and asked to be demoted.

This reminds me of the Rockstar programming language. It started as a joke about headhunters looking for "Rockstar programmers". The creator ended up making a complete programming language where the program's code could be sung as a 80s power ballad.
