Not because I’m female. Not because I’m Asianish. It’s because they are asshats. Not that I don’t think that eventually the client won’t solve it. I just get them there quicker.
More efficient.
Better.
And they pay. Last couple times were kind of bad. Solving the raspberry pi and vision bonnet thing… getting it working. But… then, they did a reorg and told me to not do any more sbc work. Oh… but help the intern. The intern then gets a promotion.
This time, I solved a different accelerator issue for a vendor. Kernel drivers, config, user group… etc.
Then, they were able to release the build/product.
A week later, one of the new units arrive!
The one on my desk has been through more hands than a cheap hooker. Pieces missing, not original hard drive… hanging off a ribbon cable… who knows where the parts are… missing wifi module… 1/2… cover? whatever…
CODE VIOLATION
they gave it (the brand new unit) to someone else… who sits across from me… the intern, ironically. A different intern, but nonetheless.
Thanks…. do me like that. Let me bend over first.
