I work with embedded programming. I am not the first person you should ask to make a website for you...

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can you make me a website that runs on my microwave?

[–] Drekaridill@feddit.is 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is the microwave the server or is it the UI?

Just because I am in IT doesn't mean I can hack your taxes away, and if I could, I wouldn't because I like my freedom

Your business degree does not make you an industrial engineer, you don't even fucking understand why I keep crusading against variance!

I had the reverse experience. I was in school for finance and I had a roommate that recently graduated with an engineering undergrad. They decided to do a masters in finance because they thought it would be easy. They dropped out after 1 week and said "I have no idea what they're talking about" like no shit buddy lol

People assume programmers know all about hacking. Because we "know about computers."

"Accountants spend most of their time preparing tax"

No, hardly any time is spent on tax. Management accountants and auditors don't do tax work at all.

Someone glimpses Dark Theme enabled Outlook with custom rules to auto sort email and suddenly you're Neo and can undo longstanding problems caused by nepo IT hires even though you're a plant operator like them with the same user privileges.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I'm an antenna engineer and anyone who vaguely knows what that means asks if I'm a ham radio operator. Nope.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 week ago

Used to be that because I was an expert on Apple platforms, that must mean I can fix a Windows computer. I hadn't the first clue where anything was. I've since learned, however. Because of work. Oh well.

Skydiving

Skydivers are not adrenaline (epinephrine) junkies. Adrenaline actually makes you feel terrible. You know that rush and shakes you get when you get hungry? Yeah, THAT'S an adrenaline rush.

No, we go for the same thing runners do. Endorphins. Nature's own anti-depressant.
