Not engineering!

For better or for worse, though, most of the modern software industry has converged on "software engineering" as the name for what they do, while terms like "web developer" usually invoke spooky prehistoric (20th-century) connotations of companies that treat software as "part of the IT department" and a "cost center."
Now everyone is a tech/dev advocate because they have 500+ linkedin connections and repost the same cloud news everyone has already read.
I'm just going to coin the next stupid title now, 'cloud astronaut', they're so good they're beyond the cloud. That will fill the blank void that is your ego. You're welcome.
I’ll consider adapting the title, but not sure whether folks would grasp my intent as quickly
Velocity has a strong definition in engineering that has been borrowed and misused in software management.
I expected the article to be about accelerometers and how the ill effects of vibration have been mitigated
as a software engineer, I really apprecaite this.
> about accelerometers and how the ill effects of vibration have been mitigated
I really hope I can mitigate vibrations of mood, esp the procrastinatory kinds. But then I don't want to over-"engineer" my behaviours or it would start to become existential. Like sometimes I don't even know what is meaningful anymore (despite working on my dream job), or if I can truly humanly love myself. Being human is tough.
Hope you're doing okay, dude. Meaning doesn't mean much, but learning to love and be happy is (from what I can gather) far more important than the zeroes and ones we tinker with. I'm trying to figure it out myself and waiting for the good times to come around again, too.
Thanks. This hits me hard. I think I've been focusing too much on "meaning" (and trying to do the meaningful things, etc) and over-exhausted myself. I think I need to practise loving and being happy more. That turns out doesn't come automatically.
Of course, it's not engineering; it's all about metrics, which are statistical
