I took a look at my manager's calendar once and it was nightmarish. 8 hours of straight planning meetings, some of which overlap. And us boots-on-the-ground devs tend to largely ignore what management plans, as we actually know what is

>This is a kind of look behind the curtain that we rarely get from large software developers. Very true, it makes me wonder just how unreliable hardware is and how many crashes are caused by random EMI like cosmic rays, or close proximit

I prefer wired because, for some reason, car audio via Bluetooth has adaptive volume, i.e. I start coasting in the car and the music becomes almost inaudible. I speed up and it returns to normal.
