Good luck with that. Where I live carriers allow you to relocate your landline number to a new address when you move out nowadays, so this might be an issue to keep up to date.

Someone once told me that it is wery easy for you to remember these instances and think at how you made a fool for yourself or how you were wrong or maybe even bad towards someone. These things are still vivid after 10-20 years.

However remembering how others were towards you fades a lot easier, to the point that remembering such instances from others against you from 5 years ago is difficult.

It sometimes helps me thinking that others likely moved on and probably do not even remember the episode, so I should let it go.

This makes too much sense, where do you think you are?

Around here all we do is expect endless time investment from devs, zero AI committment to avoid any additional time saving, and a lifelong committment to maintenance. If a requested feature is not implemented asap or a bug not squashed withing a day it is grounds for riot.

That is not me, it is an example of a 9 to 5 in the service industry around the world. You might judge someone working like that but the reality is that the important stuff is not done at the office but at home with the family. That shit pays the bills and it is not really an option to find a job with purpose, that is sadly an idealistic dream, most people just carry on in a job that pays enough to then do other stuff with those they love.

You can find all the dignity you want but at the end of the day you need to take the available jobs or end up on the street.

That is not how any of this works. You don’t bring down a datacenter to patch it, then bring it back up like doing updates on grandmas pc.

I agree with you. Yet those jackasses will not be replaced any faster by us agreeing here.

Sure man, but the vast majority of us do not work in the making beautiful sounds with violing business.

If some middle manager boss says to some minion to make a quick draft of a keynote of some random info that tangentially may make sense in one of his meetings, and the minion then goes on working on it on full attention for a day to make the beautifullest keynote of the word he did not do a draft and the boss is pissed because other shit did not get done. Having an llm quarter ass a keynote based on a prompt and two refinements is precisely the effort required for that job, any more than that is wasting time.

Do you aim for excellence in your first drafts? You may want to consider better effort allocation.
