One of my bulbs had lasted for so long I have been through 5 houses with the same bulb. Each time I move I pack my bulbs. The best thing is that this particular bulb was given away free by an energy company at a supermarket as a sample to encourage use.
LED, compact fluorescent, or plain incadescent? Incadescent bulb hat such property, that long life means also lower efficiency. So energy company loves long life - you'll pay more for electricity, and will not buy another one, particularly not "energy saving" one.
As a software engineer, I agree we are not engineers 😂. Even more bizarrely, my university course was a bachelor of science. So I'm somehow both a scientist and an engineer and neither.
I’m a software developer and I agree. I refuse to call myself an Engineer. When you can read a couple of books and start developing software you aren’t an engineer in this context. The discipline and certifications are just not there.
If you want to get from one side of LA to the other it’s faster to drive to Las Vegas, get on a plane to LAX, rent a car and drive to your destination from there! 😂😂😂😂
I have a USB port in my toothbrush. It allows me to charge up the electric toothbrush without needing a proprietary charger or disposable batteries. I may write code, but your hardware doesn't work without it. Unfortunately, too many coders are NOT engineers; they're "sorcerer's apprentices," wielding magic they do not understand. Real coders, who do understand what they're doing, truly are engineers.
Hard to believe that some people regard engineers as humor-impaired and irony-deficient dweebs given to indefensibly lofty evaluations of their own importance…
My LED bulbs use so little power, if the electricity goes out I just stand under the bulb and start thinking. The bulb then lights up every time I have a bright idea.
Same with electrical engineers..they design that crap, but have no clue how it works in the real world, or how to install it......or if it'll even be suitable for the end use.
Structural engr here … i love the arrogance of software guys. It’s like being in the room with finance broz. Following someone else’s design, no licensure req, yet make more than the folks who designed and built the stuff.
I'm a software "engineer" and think it's funny to compare to real engineers that are licensed and regulated etc. The most I have to worry about is compliance with standards and responding to penetration discoveries. It's not harder or easier but very different.
Here is an example of why Google maps should not be trusted. In the 1970s, a surveyor from Thomas Brothers guide mapped our neighborhood. He found a house party and started drinking. The people at the party changed some things on his map. These errors continue today and have continued because that mapping system is what San Bernardino County assessor’s office uses for its mapping system. Every east-west street in a 4 mi.² area of my neighborhood is mapped on Google Maps one block too far north. So far, we have had one neighbor die because the ambulance was unable to locate them.
GPS often doesn't account for car pool lanes. Many times my wife and I have pulled into a car pool lane and the map gets lost and can't find us because we're not on the regular freeway!
I live in San Diego. My favorite time of day for driving through the Los Angeles area is just past midnight. Except one time 5 South was shut down for maintenance and I kept getting detoured from one freeway to another until they dumped me onto Pacific Highway -- north of Long Beach.
Why are we talking about light bulbs? He didn't even mention them. His example must have specific reference to the locale. I use google maps fairly often and only have had a couple of minor glitches.
There's a difference between software engineers and programmers/developers! A programmer just edits code, an engineer is the one designing and building infrastructure, and considering all the downstream effects.
Logically, if a Software Engineer has two hands they should be able to screw one bulb in with each hand, so according to AI, it only needs half an SE to screw in a bulb. Physically, however, you might need to hold the rose to provide an opposite reaction for the torque to screw against. Better than AI is the use of drones. There is a video on YT of a drone screwing in a bulb.
How may software developers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None, that's a hardware issue.
Two. But it has to be a bloody big bulb to fit them in.
@@David_Crayford It took me a minute, but I see what you did there. 🤣

None. Not even lightbulbs want to be screwed by a typist with delusions of grandeur.

Well that seems like a heck of a way to encourage repeat business, albeit not often o.o

We have some of those CF bulbs as well...given as free samples.
People who don’t live in Southern CA think that routine was a joke, but it’s 100% accurate.
Pretty much true in any urban part of the USA that doesn't have mass transit. The motor car scales terribly

I have no idea how people can live with that sort of traffic and congestion. I could never.
That's what you get without public transport, doesn't happen in countries with smart city planners

Doth such a creature exist in all the nine realms? One who understands the code they write?
Hardware works best and most efficiently without software.
May not achieve much, but it is working.

Actually laughed out loud for several seconds.
Software.
"That's not really an engineer in my opinion."
My LED bulbs use so little power, if the electricity goes out I just stand under the bulb and start thinking. The bulb then lights up every time I have a bright idea.
So that's why my LED bulbs always go out when the power goes out. (No bright ideas)
Problem is... I do not have enlightening ideas...
80-90% of "software engineers" *aren't* engineers...
Software engineer here, and… yeah, you're not wrong. Every time I touch a soldering gun, it ends badly.

More than once the route Google maps told me to take would have been fatal. Once it was the wrong way down a one way street.

Great example of how today's engineers solve problems...complexify.
I was following direction on the phone yesterday but service ended. Had to turn around, find service and call a friend.

Of course, being British all my bulbs are LEDs and last for 20 years. I have had mine for so long I even got to change one last year.

I don't see why you feel the need to use profanity in what could be both a family and workplace friendly comedy routine.
