Laughing at someone's code is like laughing at someone's painting or their novel or really any other creative endeavor. It's not ok period.

That is completely unacceptable behavior. If you were in my company I would petition to have you fired. I hold a strict no asshole rule, life is too short to work with people who would do something like that.

It sounds like your org is lacking in some basic leadership. If issues are brought up in the code it either needs to be corrected or justified with the team.

Or he could keep it as it is.. add a link to the page for a new page "For the Big Wigs" that's more enterprisey and uses words like "synergy"

Even if the terms ate up 2.9B of the 3B an engineer with 1 point will still walk away with close to a million. I don't buy it.

If you don't want a catalytic converter on your car for performance or intentionally running rich a/f mix etc.. you can put the O2 sensor into a "spark plug tool" that'll trick the O2 sensor into thinking all is well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqDmmLQ4pGk

Hacks are not required to be sophisticated to be effective and people will find them. Maybe for example if you place a 1/4 inch of extra plastic in front of the front facing radar it'll make the car follow more aggressively then it's calibrated for, who knows! that's a made up example but I expect this stuff is going to happen as it already does.

This is actually kind of a bad thing to do, since you're intentionally wasting other people's time.

I'm not sure I get it? Why not just buy a Macbook and install Ubuntu? you get the nicely designed hardware and don't have to run OSX if you don't want to.

The quoted range was two miles though I have to think that was within the atmosphere. Even in LEO something fired @ 1500mph relative to the source should continue to travel at that speed unless it interacts with something no?
