Replying to
@tnt one day at my last job, the principal engineer used https://xkcd.com/974/ in a presentation as a bit of self-deprecating humour. The following day, we find that our boss has printed out the comic and pinned it up in the office meeting room.
From one engineer to another, that comic's a relatable joke; when your boss is using it, it comes across as patronising. This was the turning point where I realised my boss wasn't all that cool - eventually, he was the reason I left that company.
