This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

@m @sailor_sega_saturn
Took a f%cking nightshift of the CTO (German company, so the CTO had PhD in C.S. and still remembered hacking C++ code) and the resident external IT consultant working on the C++ code getting frustrated with the builds crashing and literally debugging the whole shebang to discover that beside a ton of C++ memory bugs, we also had a network issue.

@m @sailor_sega_saturn And philosophically, I've been now for a decade in "automatic data entry from 3rd parties", ETL (nice phrasing for industry level web scraping and data clean-up).

Literally, what I've seen (and sometimes, as I've also done website development, one wonders what the f%ck the dear colleague was thinking while (s)he developed THAT. Or I want the drugs they were on, that must have been a great trip.), nothing is unthinkable in IT.
