And thesis.tex is basically just a preamble followed by input{chapters/chapter1} and all the other chapters.

Only one of these three never existed

The Netherlands in a nutshell.

I never saw the movie, but I can accept mediocre for the book. I thought it was a fun take aliens and alternative history. The writing style is a bit like a morally superior american, but I can read past that (…I guess, because I completely forgot that part).

Battlefield earth is unironically good though

Today I broke a colleague’s app, because I repurposed an unused app registration on azure, or at least I thought it was unused. I thought that would be faster than asking the admins for a new registration on a Friday afternoon. But I forgot that I had used that registration for my colleague 's application.

So when he came complaining that it didn’t work, I just told him he had done something wrong and that he should just restart his computer.

Your not writing regular python code, your writing a special subset of python intended for engineers and scientists called “bad python code”

Yes, normal client computers. Just for simple document work. Inexcusable indeed

And they are right to do so. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t really matter how much time you spend on a problem. It’s the result that matters. I remember a meme where a dev would place a “wait” function in a new feature. Than remove the wait call and call it a free update and get lots of praise from the customer.

What skills do you need to be an embedded dev?

The LaTeX SE is also very useful. The official documentation of LaTeX and especially of third party packages, is often hard to read and it’s hard to find what you’re looking for. You can end up on the documentation on Overleaf,but they don’t go I to depth too much.

I think it did ‘rm -rf ~/’ and crashed. Hence the ‘stopped thinking’
