I bet your coworkers loved having some smug asshole barging in and shitting on their skills unprovoked while they were trying to have a conversation about gear.

- devereaux 8y agoYou are needlessly offensive. Tools are rarely a problem. The person using the tool is more often the problem. This is the equivalent of someone wondering if they should the latest MacBook or the latest Surface to do some very basic sysadmin. It doesn't matter! Said otherwise, with total result as the sum of contributing factors like tools_factor + skill_factor + luck_factor + …, the partial derivative of tool is not significant.
- jacobolus 8y agoFor a lot of people speculative chatting about the tools is the point, more than taking pictures per se.
- devereaux 8y agoThat seems correct. I have never understood the propose of such speculative chatting. Maybe the conversion was not about achieving or improving a task, but idle talk for social purposes?
- pofilat 8y agoWhat's the purpose of taking pictures and fixating on the past? Anything can be meaningless if you axiomatically don't care about it.
- devereaux 8y ago> What's the purpose of taking pictures and fixating on the past? Personally, I find no value in that, but I respect differences of tastes.
- dbcurtis 8y agoWe were a long-time team. Well calibrated on each other. Fuzzy thinking was called out on a regular basis.
- pofilat 8y agoAre you saying they called you out for your fuzzy thinking, and changed the topic of conversation to be more welcoming to your outsider perspective? You have sharp and kind coworkers.
