It reminds me of the late 90's CommTech chips that came packed with action figures. Those were fun for like 20 minutes.

That was kind of a thing for a while there, at least I saw it a lot. "Where's that {monitor or whatever} from?" "Oh I picked it up from EPO, someone was hocking it after their paycheck bounced"

The first time I ever saw a hit swappable RAID array was in an MCI office tower in Houston. I later heard some of the equipment from that office was taken home by employees after they didn't get paid during one of the accounting scandals.

I was trying to tell my kid about "10-10" numbers being advertised on television and it was truly hopeless. Explaining mass market interexchange carriers to someone who has no notion of landlines, much less long distance carriers.

And then: on to the next skill!

Anyone who says they never experience imposter syndrome makes me nervous because to me it suggests that they are leaning all the way in to Dunning Kruger.

As you walk the path of your career, if you step a little to the left you have imposter syndrome and it is visible to you and not others, while if you step a little to the right you have Dunning-Kruger and it is visible to others and not to you. This is natural.

My gender is on my passport and my driver's license, but it is not necessary for the transactions they are designed to deal with. My gender is not on my social security card, my credit cards, my gym membership card, or my student IDs when I had those. It's not even on my health insurance card.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.

It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

RULE ONE: Find a place you trust, and then try trusting it for awhile.

RULE TWO: General duties of a student: pull everything out of your teacher; pull everything out of your fellow students.

RULE THREE: General duties of a teacher: pull everything out of your students.

RULE FOUR: Consider everything an experiment.

RULE FIVE: Be self-disciplined: this means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them. To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self-disciplined is to follow in a better way.

RULE SIX: Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail, there’s only make.

RULE SEVEN: The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It’s the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things.

RULE EIGHT: Dont try to create and analyze at the same time. They’re different processes.

RULE NINE: Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It’s lighter than you think.

RULE TEN: We’re breaking all the rules. Even our own rules. And how do we do that? By leaving plenty of room for X quantities.
