It worked, but not well. I remember standing in line for 20 minutes waiting on the one phone to call my parents so they knew my after school activity was done. (while other students were calling their parents).

People who insist on domestic flights in Germany are really critiquing the train network which is vast, but way to slow and the on time performance is terrible. If they would fix the trains there would be much less call for flights.

Better than the US is not an endorsement.

All of it has parts I hate there is a lot of boring code I've had to work on. And sometimes the fun code is things I finish and say nobody should every do that...

Writing code was never more than 20% of what I do as a programmer. All those other things are where I have always spent me time, and those are the hard part.

That is an example of the system not working. That they are doing this implies that maybe the system has been fixed. It is hard to know.

Probably more expensive than AliBaba. Which might or might not mean better quality.

That is unfortunately expensive as time goes on. Parts have a markup, even third party. Unless there are a lot of others maintaining the same model parts will go out of production. You beet buy a lathe and milling machine.

I know more than one place that uses monitors for safety messages. If they overlay that there will be bug court cases. Likely criminal

I saw rants very much like yours 30 years ago - before you first masters...

A masters has always to my knowledge been one additional year after you have a 4 year degree. So that they only require 1 year for the second degree is expected - you already have a 4 year degree, a masters is one additional year of advance study on top of it.

While someone can, in practice that doesn't happen in most cases

What is the practical difference between code not accepted and code hidden?
