Being An Engineer Means Being A Professional And Using Correct Technical Terminology!

Being an engineer means being a professional and using correct technical terminology!

It is "Gas driven high impedance issues with the hardware."

Not " I forgot to plug it in "

To be fair, a lot of goofy-sounding rocketry/aerospace terminology has a legitimate nomenclatural role beyond just being silly euphemisms.

"Unplanned rapid disassembly", for example, exists as the necessary counterpart to planned rapid disassembly: sometimes a rocket is legitimately supposed to fall apart or blow up, so you need a specific term to emphasise that it wasn't supposed to do that.

Similarly, "lithobraking" was coined by analogy with aerobraking (shedding velocity via atmospheric friction) and hydrobraking (shedding velocity by landing in water), and it does have some intentional applications; the Mars Pathfinder probe, for example, was deliberately crashed into the Martian surface while surrounded by giant airbags, and reportedly bounced at least 15 times before coming to rest.

(That said, aerospace engineers absolutely do use these terms humorously as well, because engineers are just Like That.)

Very much agree :3

"Low level language" compared to what?

"20 volt" compared to what reference?

"Low power use" compared to what?

It is important to know when terms are relative. Because otherwise useful terms turn into nonsense

x86_64 assembly is a kind of high-level language

... FUCK!

I am joining my companies group of developers given access to and finding uses for LLMs.

Purely so I can critique and stop any and all use of this problem

got a major pest problem this year actually

Ooooooh!

No no!

That shit is HARD!

There is this weird insane idea that getting nothing productive done is the same as relaxing.

It is NOT. It takes ENERGY and ATTENTION. You tire out from it. This is where, you need help.

Not necessarily professional help but just someone else to help you break free. Help you starting out on something. Help you do something.

Doing the tasks that take over your brain first with help can then make others possible alone.

But you need HELP. And when you are paralyzed like this it is hard to make yet another task which is asking for help and explaining what kind of help you need.

So. When feeling somewhat ok, spend that ok time on talking with friends, family and partners. Anyone who can help you.

And talk about what the signs that you are freezing up are, and how you would like then to help.

Adjust these over time. It is a lifelong proccess of fitting your life and people to you. But it can be done. And it helps a lot, and it helps quickly.

Fellas how do you deal with this
