The sound of my code being peer reviewed.

Having worked in code QA for years, I feel you. People never liked me shoving their code back at them and telling them all of the things wrong with it even though it was 100% necessary in order to keep our services running and reliable. I'd overhear people on calls talking poo poo about how I still wouldn't approve their code even though they thought it was fine. Look, if I input these particular characters and click your button and then the database server crashes, it's not my fault. One of our tens of thousands of customers is definitely going to stumble across that at some point and then everyone is going to point fingers at either Catastrophe for missing it or Dave The Dev for effing things up.

I joined the QA team there at a time when that department was openly beloved and respected. It was a "thank you for being here for us" environment, surprisingly. Over time, as the company changed hands through various investors who kicked people out the door in order to hire in cheaper contractors, it changed into a "how dare you question my work?!" environment.

This belongs more in the stupid poo poo your work does thread. Sorry.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

I think like a huge 70"+ cheap LCD TV, poorly mounted close to the ceiling with trailing cables to one games console sat on the floor would be equally tragic

This reminds me of the end of Solaris, in which the alien planet recreates his father and home. Everything is off in weird ways, because it doesn't understand why humans do what they do. So he's like standing under a bad ceiling leak and doesn't notice the water pouring onto him.

They're (more or less) all dairy, just not all cheese. The lowest end made with vegetable oil is the stuff you get when you can't afford Kraft singles.




It's related to how regardless of your feelings about Hershey's chocolate, when you can't spring for that you get the "chocolate flavored" stuff that replaces the cocoa butter with palm oil.



There's also "evaporated filled milk" which is concentrated skim milk with cheap vegetable oil added to replace the expensive butterfat. Popular dollar store item since dairy price hikes took the real thing out of range.
