this is sad
I just shove my problems at various people until they dispense the treats I'm looking for
shameless!
but ye people suck actually -
@jestdotty So wait a minute.. you basically:
do {
nag();
} while(!answered);?
lol. I know I bother the **** out of coworkers by asking them questions in a Socrates manner:
me: "Why is this used this way?"
colleague: "Because useful to use this way. Don't care about the rest. Who gives a ****"
me: "But then why and how is it useful?"
colleague: "Because then faster. For the rest, don't care about it"
me: "But I still don't understand. Why this way when you can do that way?"
colleague: -lost patience-
I just do{why();}while(!crystal_clear);
So.. practically nobody has patience to 'deal' with me. lol -
@CaptainRant hahaha
well I don't nag... if they answer like that I don't think they know. so I find new people to ask until i've asked everyone
and I'll even go ask on forums, as theoretical questions, to unknown people, of why someone may have designed something some way
what annoys me most is when people say the reason was X but I can clearly see it wasn't... -
@jestdotty You are right - they don't know and they don't care. It bothers me that they don't care but then I have to adapt to the fact they don't care and start not caring that they don't care. lol. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one worth calling Engineer because I take it seriously. Everyone else is always 'throwing **** together' just to please Business and it bothers me. I ****ing hate maintenance jobs. Let me create beautiful stuff!
Forums! Ah yes, the time-unbound (or should be) way! Good call.
Yeah... people try to get away with bs and move on with their bs. lol -
@CaptainRant hmm well I don't mind if they're chill. I'll just meet them at where their needs / wants are
sometimes people do things that are work and not useful at the end. that's far worse than people just barely keeping things working together. you can fix when they don't know something. you can't fix when people think they know something

I find A.I. to be a nice pair-programmer/buddy to help me out with any questions I may have, where the typical human being doesn't have the time, patience or know-how.
