The beautiful thing about being an early bird is you don't need to "show up too early". You just hang out until you're exactly on time and then show up. There is no analogue for the late person.
Anyone claiming more concern about being thrown into an oncoming train than being in a serious car accident is either being disingenuous or deluded. The solution isn't to just excuse it because they feel in control. The solution is to solve their delusions.
> Do people who are habitually late view prompt people as rude for being on time?
As someone who tries to be prompt to a fault, I can see that yes there are people who get annoyed at promptness. It's not that you're a bad person for being prompt. Rather you're a bad person if you start without them or otherwise push back on their lateness.
I think to some extent some of the pushback is the prompt folks not understanding that sometimes lateness isn’t something they can control (e.g., meeting with important set of stakeholders that you can’t duck out on early ran late)
I think people on both sides need to have more empathy, then. I'm generally one of the prompt people, and I'll try to start on time. If people are late, they'll arrive after we start, but that's fine.
And the late people need to understand that sometimes they will miss the beginnings of things, but that's ok too; their inability to be on time (for whatever reason) should not waste the time of those who get there on time.
Yes. And even as someone who tries to live by the ethos "if you're on time, you're late", I wind up late sometimes. It stresses me out, but hey sometimes shit happens.
But there are people where shit seems to happen more than for others. Late once in a blue moon? No worries. Repeat offender? That's a you problem.
What you say is true, but it is also possible that someone describing the flavor as "sour" isn't experienced enough to have built up the official vocabulary. You see this a lot in tasting cultures of various products, what one person means by X isn't necessarily the same as another person.
Where I live, Dunkin Donuts is king. All one needs to do is stand in line behind the average patron ordering a coffee with 8 creams and 10 sugars to identify "coffee for people who don't life coffee".
Or take a gander at any Starbucks ad pushing their latest dessert for breakfast drink offering.
I don't think I learned basically anything about "fancy architecture" from my undergraduate courses except, ironically, reasoning about coupling and overhead.
I don't remember one solitary lecture on CI/CD, microservices, or even just deployment in general, in Uni. The closest that our comp. sci. classes ever came to touching on anything but the code itself was making us use SVN.
I've never heard of or seen a Software Development bachelors degree?
I've seen Information Systems programs, that are usually CE, after-hours tracks. Neither Harvard, Yale, nor MIT have a software dev one, just Comp. Sci. I'm calling BS (no pun intended) on "software dev degrees" as a thing distinct from CS in any widespread fashion.
antibiotic resistance is such that it is increasingly less common to use it as just a "take 2 of these and call me in the morning" shot in the dark treatment.
Heck, even at the low end of not-garbage, a couch runs in the $1k range. Something from Bobs Furniture Outlet, for example.
Note, I love Bob's furniture. I have a couch from there I bought 10 years ago and it's absolutely the most comfortable couch I've ever had. My comment that they're low end is not, in any way, to insult the quality of what they have. Rather, they're not expensive (the same couch at a slightly more "name brand" place would have been twice the cost; for no increase in quality).
All sofas have labor and logistics. The more expensive ikea couches are as good as other big box couches, which is to say, they aren’t premium furniture.
