Am I being precious or are these red flags for Engineering teams?
- Have to use Teams
- No local admin
- Long approval process for any software to be installed / used
I just don't see how you can have any sort of innovative engineering culture without any flexibility for engineering teams.

"While the protests were condemned as hateful by the federal government, some politicians attended, including the One Nation leader, Pauline Hanson, and party member Senator Malcolm Roberts in Canberra and the federal MP Bob Katter in Townsville."
Cunts, they're called cunts.

Training for City2Surf was always going to be unsuccessful and as if to confirm that I hurt my back quite badly almost immediately.
But I'm working through that and have managed to achieve a training consistency I haven't managed since COVID.

Really hope that Switch 2 updates are being worked on for the Xenoblade games. I wanted to jump back into 3 but it looks so bad on my TV and in handheld.

I love when having to work on waterfall projects, people will be in a completely fucked project for years, have absolutely no idea what they're doing but then still completely reject any different way to approach a problem.

I wish engineering jobs had standardised names. At some point Engineering Manager stopped meaning managing multiple teams and now just means "Team Lead".
So now you have an important sounding job on your resume - good job, but we've confused everyone.

Getting paid a referral bonus for work and was trying to decide between a new computer or a new camera.
Landed on the camera, investing in the hobby that takes me outside is probably a much better investment in my health.
Plus now I can spam more terrible photos on the internet.
