Completely agree. And I think a lot of roles frame this as "part of the job", something always unavoidable. But if I was an exec and my team was spending half their time trying to read between the lines of my poor communication, fixing that would be priority #1; what an enormous waste of time for people who I (ostensibly) hired for their other skills!

License plate concealers are illegal in NYS. Being able to read license plates is critical for identifying vehicles involved in crimes. I hope you are eventually caught and punished!

agree, but agree with another reply that it doesn't even seem like technical competency is the skill used outside of potentially engineering. feels like optimizing for "managing up" (which is code for "making people above you happy" and doesn't necessarily correlate with delivering any type of value) is what these managers do. in other R&D roles (design, product) most managers i've met aren't actually gifted at executing in an IC context

We've been using CircleCI for a few weeks and it's been a great experience. The product is great and their customer service was awesome - they got back to me almost immediately to help me fix a bug on my end. Great stuff!

This was my experience when I tried Glass - despite knowing it wasn't AR, I still expected it to somehow enhance my experience. This isn't the case - it's merely replacing the screen in your pocket with a screen above-and-to-the-left-of-vision. I'm hoping the Glass team (or someone else) will take notice and create an AR device that can grant this experience that seems to be widely desired.
