Instead of reading the article I will tell you why the docs are wrong. It's because most teams don't incentivize writing documentation and a lot of them just don't care. The team guru's job security is predicated on knowing the answer to everything so it's a losing proposition for them. If you write good docs about one of these topics, don't be surprised if they try to find a way to punish you for it.

If you're in an SWE job, only write documentation if someone tells you to. Otherwise, just give up.

I host my own email. I also have a gmail account, that I've had since the beta.

I cannot tell you how many times I have encountered a person that asks for my email and then looked at me confused when it didn't end in gmail, outlook, or something, and then ask me for another email, as if only that would be good enough.

I've taught people to start with surface mount before. It's really worse depending on what you're soldering. A lot of people doing hardware hacking will get tons of mileage just out of being able to solder on a chip with a soic-8 package. That's easy enough that you can learn it on day 1.

you attempted a skilled technique without practice, you were surprised when you screwed it up, and then you quit

this is not a good pattern!

They would be broke quick.

I'm honestly passionate about this topic. For a while, around the time that urinals started to appear without water, I dealt with some serious splashback issues. I forget when I started aiming for the back of the urinal. I'm assuming that's the deflection angle the paper discusses. At one point I realized, I was sometimes getting some pretty bad splashback. Perhaps because I stood close to the urinal. So I asked a colleague. He said he aims for the hole, and was confused why anyone would piss on the back of the urinal. I started doing that -- problem solved. I am for a direct hit, every time. The problem is that some urinals have a protector over the hole to prevent really smart people and children from putting paper towels in there. That thing is dome shaped, and multiplexes the stream like a lawn sprinker.

All of this, would not be necessary, if there were water at the bottom of the urinal.

Ah yes, an application that should exist in a free market but will probably disappear soon.

You are a good person. Keep going at it.

I don't have much success with using the LLM to make changes to a big legacy codebase. Instead, I use the LLM to gripe about things I don't like in the code. Usually, it is a brilliant commiserator.

Yocto sounds like it makes me feel when I use it

That's probably still very healthy. The study looks at deaths per year at non-optimal temperatures. Living in a desert is different than taking a sauna.

Out of curiosity, which fields would you say are the best to just be mediocre in?

I mean, there's other problems with OPs argument.

For example, "there's no chance to become the next one" implies it's only worth it to do something if you can become the absolute best person in the field.

It's a big world. Most of us will not be the very best at what we do. There are millions of fun games that were not written by John Carmack.
