There's a video on YouTube of some guy gathering pee bottles discarded by Amazon drivers/contractors, created a fake drink, and got it listed on Amazon to the top spot.

Yeah I don't know how you would break up Microsoft Office or regulate that. There are competitors but it's so pervasive, most companies use it. You'd have to create a public API that other competitors could use, and the HR lady is going to be pissed!

For 1/r^2, wouldn't curved spacetime mess that up? Not sure how you would calculate say a moon or other things in between.

Thats beyond ridiculous. Most languages when you are reading a line from a file, and it doesn't have a \n terminator, its going to give you that line, not say, oops, this isn't a line sorry.

Sometimes a framework will do weird things, like convert it to scientific notation, or round it, or add a ton of zeroes. Like BigDecimal in Java and Decimal in C#. They can sneak up on you.

I think they are definitely valuable. My issue is I would have to disassemble most of the large legacy code base to be able to effectively test things, and a large part of it is UI (Windows Forms). I know you can do it, but just takes so much time and effort. We do have some though.

Thats one reason I prefer small companies. Less bureaucratic BS, more accountability, etc. Sure there isn't as much room for career growth and other downsides, but much simpler.

Cubicles are OK as long as there isn't a lot of chatter, people being on the phone all the time, talking loud, etc. Though of course id rather be in my own room no doubt.

You can be highly intelligent but also lack the social awareness / emotional intelligence, take Aspergers Syndrome for example.
