is Horse Latitudes.
When the still sea conspires an armor,
And her sullen and aborted currents breed tiny monsters,
TRUE SAILING IS DEAD!
Awkward instant, and the first animal is jettisoned.
Legs furiously pumping
Their stiff green gallop
And heads bob up
Poise
Delicate
Pause
Consent
In mute nostril agony
Carefully refined
And sealed over
I think he came flat up against one of the greatest trials or our age, specifically, to be used (emotionally) incestuously by his mother. (Which emotional is the standard though generally unrecognized form of mother/son incest.) He took some pains to understand what happened to him, though in the end was unequal to the resultant self-destructiveness. Still, all that notwithstanding, he did his best to "live out" and make a positive contribution in the form of great/cathartic art and entertainment.
Yeah, the main thing to start with is driving mileage. They aren't doing much with metric if that (ie public facing) is still English, and only internal govt stuff is metric.
QUALIFYING as an MD might indeed be hard work, but though many doctors do in fact ultimately "toil" significantly, they also stand to ultimately attain relative autonomy AND be turned loose ("orgiastic") upon a trough of green backs. An engineer's fate, on the other hand, is more along the lines of "an honest day's pay for an honest day's toil."
To summarize, that (ie. "money mountain") is precisely what still draws substantial numbers into medicine.
at some junior colleges was the best educational move I ever made, at least with regards to employment. My biology and chemistry degrees were nice for general information, and as a time to experiment with different fields.

Yeah, that article looks like real schlock. I'm shocked to see something like this anywhere outside of the tabloids
Mainly, I'm shocked that we should appear to know so little about physiological development. I guess their saying there is nothing wrong with her endocrine system must mean the hormones are found. But, does that mean they then know nothing about the receptors and secondary developmental mechanisms? In that case, how would they know the things they are looking at are even growth hormones? Truly shocked medical science should draw such a blank on this one.
Other people's styles definitely present a challenge, no matter how "good" it is. Problem with bad is definitely there. So many more ways to do it poorly than there are to do something well!
I am fortunate to work at a place where very high standards of technical excellence are upheld. Pretty much all managers come from an accomplished technical background, and many continue to practice. Non-technical managers will defer to a considerable extent on technical matters.
Though you didn't seem to intend to reply to me, I would support your point. I agree that it is valid to be aggressive if you truly believe in what you have to say, but should still maintain tact so communication is as effective as possible. It just seems that the tact must be missing for someone that junior and considering the OP seemed to suggest he did this coming right in the door, though not necessarily, so long as he has adequately reviewed the code.
Additionally, though, as someone mentioned elsewhere, one must be wary of those who are better arguers than they are critics.
...longevity should be limited, I would (severe, though probably merited by his superior (for an underling) attitude) tend to reduce the priority of his learning experience. If he was under evaluation for a permanent position, I would think this confidence/arrogance should buy him an earlier than usual trial-by-fire of a somewhat substantial project, or at least a portion of one he can lead the development on. Hopefully, he would do well, though probably still find himself a bit more isolated than he might otherwise have been, which should be helpfully chastening.
I disagree with this "perceiving everything they didn't write as shit" stance.
I came into a new position, my first serious one (when I was in my forties, second career field, after a couple years of good community college studies). I have experienced in depth 3-6 (3 thorough exposure, 3 partial/peripheral exposure) different, substantial code bases. Two of them where horrendous ("devil spawn"), one was not exactly a work of art, but manageable, managing considerable (reporting and logging) complexity, and the other 3 were solid to the point of being elegant, and naturally readable. And mind you, this was my first serious in depth exposure, across a variety of development platforms, including both proprietary and open source.
Biden was the first public figure I heard to say this back in the early 90's, specifically why they opposed birth control, abortion, and were subsidizing single mothers with welfare.
Though compiled code is not my area of expertise, I would think that the ability to dissect the impact of an infection and clean it would be much harder when not knowing the details of the system. And that was just my explanation after the fact when I noticed that the MSE seemed be much more effective, and run much nicer on my system than McAfee.
And speaking in general now, it has long been MS's strategy to block companies who were developing applications to run on Windows from extensive knowledge of Windows' internals, so those applications would under-perform (and thus give MS a competitive advantage to develop similar applications, such as the one in question, though in this case not for direct profit, just prestige).
that certification is worth "zippo", because MSE works much better. (Which is not surprising, considering McAfee has "zippo" access to the Windows (binaries) internals.)

Not sure there is that much difference, because those who started out as astronomers frequently end up in IT.

That's not why. Sadly, it's because it's hard work.
wrong thread!
Well, duh! Taxes correlate inversely with share value!
Thanks for your well spoken, inside perspective.

Seconded!
