Once again it’s been a while since I blogged. The reasons for this are twofold.
One, that I now have actual work to do at work, which is bloody great! I’ve been here something like 3 and a half years, having joined to get into embedded software engineering, but as I’d had experience in other things I ended up doing a bit of PeeCee software then a whole lot of tech authoring, then everybody already had the interesting engineering work so I was pinged from pillar to post doing testing, review, snore snore… Finally, I have been getting some work done on the actual products, and have been putting things out into the world with my name on them. This is great, but it means that nowadays it really makes a difference if I slack off, coupled with the fact I’m feeling more pride in my work than before it means I don’t have a lots of time off-task to be philosophizing about how much better the world could be.
The other fold is that I have in fact had plenty to get off my chest, but since it’s largely concerned with women, many of whom are still alive, that stuff’s probably best put under some sort of 50 year rule or something. Suffice it to say, life is not dull at the moment. I just hope I don’t miss it while I’m making other plans…

You’re puting your name on things? On _software_ things? Are you mad? Stop it. Stop it right now. They _will_ come back to haunt you in years to come.
Really glad to hear you’re enjoying work at last, and being able to feel proud of what you’re doing has to be one of the most rewarding things. Hope it stays that way :-)
Putting your name on it is OK-ish. It’s when you start adding comments like
‘Doing this really badly’
‘Could be done better’
that you know it’s DEFINITELY going to come back to haunt you.
