Today I fell down the rabbit hole.

I've been writing some automated tests which found an asymmetry in our algorithm which I think is caused by an off by 1 in even input dimensions.

Change input to odd dimensions, crash due to out of bounds exception.

Switch to debug mode to try to work out why we crash, failing asserts for default function arguments with no obvious reason beyond a helpful message saying they're unsupported.

If you're offered high responsibilities, high power to make decisions should come with it.

You can't be expected to bear responsibility for other people's decisions if you have no power to decline them just because you feel like it. Your coworkers should prove things to you, and not the other way around. Why? Because you'll be held accountable, and you can't be expected to hold accountability of what you had no power to decline or moderate.

The absolute majority of problems I had while working with companies were caused by asymmetry in power / responsibility balance.

That's why if a company wants me to hold responsibility for a thing that other people can intervene with and make their edits, and I somehow have to PROVE something to them if I want them not to, I stop working with them immediately. Simple as that.

You want me to be accountable? Then I have the ultimate final say in everything. You want others to have the power to make decisions? Fine, then I'm not to be held accountable. And as it's impossible to find out who was responsible for what, I'll just be better off quitting right now.

oh that explains a lot actually...

information for me but none for thee

> This so-called ‘right to be forgotten’ is no more than an example of George Orwell’s ‘Memory Hole’ in which the Ministry of Truth (inversion) re-wrote historical documents to match the ever-changing state propaganda. Britain’s Information Commissioner’s Office even ordered Google to remove links to stories about Google removing links to stories. So much information that people have a right to see no longer appears in search engine listings and is essentially deleted – down the Memory Hole
