I would argue that testing code is “Risk Mitigation” not “Risk Management”.
It is nuanced, but at least in large Systems Engineering orgs, Risk Management is typically a different thing entirely.
It entails documenting known risks, evaluating the likelihood and potential impacts, defining mitigating actions, tracking the closure of those actions and the resultant reduction in the likelihood of the risk manifesting.
This is both centralized and distributed. The specific SMEs provide most of this input/definition, but it is also useful to have a centralized understanding of all the system risks by someone with a system level purview.
If he already knew how to code in other object oriented languages, and was really just learning C++ syntax over the weekend, it’s not as much of a stretch.
I would buy one today if I had somewhere to reliably and conveniently charge it.
I live in an apartment complex without charging infrastructure. Don’t want to drive to nearby charging station and wait/coordinate rides to and from. My place of work doesn’t have enough charging infrastructure to support demand.
When I was younger I routinely worked late nights (I’d work normal business hours, then go grab a subway and come back to the office and work until 10-12. I enjoy working alone at night, and I wasn’t using that free time productively, so I figured why not. It did help my career trajectory significantly.
As I’ve gotten older and have better uses for my time I find myself working a ~40hr week and checking out. Occasionally if I have a challenging problem that requires deep focus I’ll log on at night, but only because I like the satisfaction of “the grind” every now and then.
Some of the anecdotes seem completely fabricated to provide a convenient example (i.e. the guy’s wife was very observantly watching him play a round of golf with a colleague and caught him cheating?)
I really don’t understand why we as a society have found it acceptable to experiment like this on other sentient beings for our own advancement.
Why are these animal lives worth less than ours? Just because we are more “advanced”?
Killing animals for food is at least in line with the natural order (leaving aside factory farming). Running experiments like this is far beyond natural, and to me is quite bizarre and unethical.
