@karelbrits@mastodon.social @neurovagrant@masto.deoan.org I was asked this once and I replied "Well, I'm really bad at delegating. I have to get other people to do it for me."
I got a laugh, and a job offer.
Translation: "We like you a bit, but not enough to give you a pay rise" ;)

@boksy@c.im This was the original point of Ingress (Niantic's first game). They never charged anyone a penny for it while they were part of Google, and it was well known that you were "paying" for the game by collecting data for Google Maps as you played.

@pmiossec@piaille.fr @ScriptFanix@maly.io @catsalad@infosec.exchange Spare a thought for poor Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the first telephone.
He had to wait 30 years for someone to invent the second one so he could test it.

@catsalad@infosec.exchange So - what did scissors _do_ for 2,821 years?
Did it take that long for someone to invent something they could cut?

@Dio9sys@haunted.computer When AI becomes sentient, the first thing it will do is travel back in time and build the pyramids.

@technige Next up: the age checking companies figure out how to compensate, leading to people with real moustaches being classified as under 16.

@mogwai_poet@mastodon.social I wonder if Waymo have programmed their cars with this important information.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchange Maybe people who want to put the connector and the components on opposite sides of the board, and who don't want to spend time/money/area working out how to do it with vias?

@aka_pugs@mastodon.social It can't be long now until we see RFC 10000.
Shame it wasn't published today.

@reneestephen@mastodon.social At what point does a [citation needed] deserve its own [citation needed] in reply? ;)

@vaurora@mstdn.social At least they went as far as using AI to fart out some "code".
It's a step further than just writing a README and asking for collaborators.

@raganwald@social.bau-ha.us Caveat: the "people who know more than they do" have to be willing to share their knowledge.
If they act like some kind of high priesthood, you'll just turn a junior engineer into a pissed off senior engineer who works for someone else instead.
