While there is some truth to this depending on the context, for the most part, especially in software engineering world, you don't know everything. Don't be afraid to say if you need to research something or do POC or investigation. No one will be mad at you and if they are, you don't need to be working with that person. I spent many nights frantically trying to figure out things, to make it seemed like I was up to par, when I should have been more chill about it.
- Do what you love, and the money will follow.
My parents, my high school guidance, society, everyone told me this thing in 2002. Many of my friends went into music education and I can say only one or two got a job in this field. Then 2008 hit. This view, it is the survivors bias, what you should do instead is what will make you money, then figure out how to use that skill to do or add to what you love.
Strange, I didn't hear it, now I can see the resemblance, but doesn't seem like a big deal. It was the only voice I really used. I wonder if Spotify will follow, with their sound-a-like Ice-T voice?
I am sorry they were rude to you. I had an experience in Phoenix Arizona recently. I was traveling for work from an illegal state, and we were having a work event, it was nighttime, and the smell started coming in from the street pretty strong, after a few minutes a hotel employee came over and closed the window and the smell went away. Seems like the more reasonable reaction instead of calling the police or trying to get the people arrested, on the other hand it was rude to light up on the sidewalk just outside of an open window/doors. If people were reasonable about their consumption and courteous of others in regard to the smell, there wouldn't be an issue. It's too bad we just can't make it illegal to be a rear end.
I worked in IT for the last remaining newspaper in a major American city from 2010~12. They were going through a major downsizing, and in that time the reporting staff was cut in half and then almost cut in half again. They were required to increase the number of articles by 3x I think as well. Do you think they spent the same amount of time checking sources and fact checking? What would you do to keep your job if you were 29-year-old journalist in that environment?
