The worst, for either career, is working out that it has to be this awful. Like there's an obvious right way, and that doesn't work because of some aggravating circumstance, and the simple workaround wouldn't fit the use-case, and properly doing what's necessary would be hideously inefficient... so... bodge.

Clunk clunk get it done.

i feel like Lua just exacerbates this problem so much. you have to reinvent the wheel so often in that language, and i often see people reinvent the wheel differently than i would have.

not to mention the nesting…. i don’t know why, but just about every lua file i read has so many nested loops and conditional statements. it’s scary.

Lol, my current house's wiring is a bunch of DIY bullshit that even an ex-electrician spent an hour trying to figure out before telling me to pay for someone to take the time to get it fixed

They turned one of the light switches by the "front" door into a dummy plate, wired it and the fan to 2 switches in what used to be a spot for a plug, and managed to tie that whole system to the kitchen light and the outside porch light

Cannot find a consistent path with a multimeter to save our fucking lives, I gave up and we just don't have our kitchen light working for like 1.5 years

My 5'x4' bathroom has 3 seperate circuits feeding it. There is one circuit for the lights, one for the fan, and one for the single outlet in there. Those are the only things on those 3 circuits.

My basement has fully wired electrical outlets in the walls that were just sheetrocked over when the previous owner "finished the basement".

My basement has an electrical outlet on every other stud throughout the whole thing; they are all on the same 15A breaker.

The the upstairs bedrooms are on seperate circuits except for one outlet on the north wall of each bedroom which both share the same seperate circuit.

I think my house was wired by M.C. Escher.

Do you have an attic where the kitchen light box is accessible?

That also 100 percent applies to cybersecurity

So you’re a software dev with no idea of affinity groups?
