No... not really.
I had one trainee that couldn't not understand why a "-1" was needed to match the " user selection" [1, 15] in panel and the "place to go with the robot" [0, 14] in the plc.
I had to take over a project he was sent and I started the program again from the scratch reaching his point within 1,5 days (he had been there some weeks already)
He ended in a big OEM supplier because the project was about doing thing that not even he could do wrong (he managed to prove my boss wrong) and the best was... the client forced a raise on him because he could not earn so lees in comparison with the intern workers. That raise brought him higher than some co-workers and that pissed the hell out of half of the team.

I don't see how a dev gets to 1 million lines of code unless a lot was imported and added to using a copy-paste style of coding. A rule-of-thumb metric is that a dev can produce 50-75 lines of debugged code per day. At 50 lines/day, getting to 1 million lines would take 80 years on the job. Even if half of it is non-code (comments, blanks, etc), it would take 40 years. Inside almost every large system is a small system struggling to get out.

I agree with everything you say. I told my mgr that I was sure I hadn't written 1 million lines of code in my entire career (over 30 years now).
It shows how out of touch this person is.

My final project in college was over a year work and I ended with something between 15k and 18k lines.
extrapolating to 30 years between 450k and 540k (And that presupposing that every year is that much lines)

I was on the "quitting" side of this at my last job. For years I had gone above and beyond and then the company was bought out. The new owner required salaried employees, which I was, to clock in and out. Needless to say I started clocking in and out and stopped working nights and weekends. I also started looking for a new job the same day.

In a paper published this week in the journal Matter, researchers say they have made a biodegradable battery with a substance found in crab and lobster shells. Red Lobster becomes a power company

Quote: Chitin can also be made into a derivative called chitosan, which researchers combined with zinc to create a new electrolyte substance to power a battery that they say remains almost entirely energy efficient after 400 hours of use.
So it only works good for about 2 weeks and ...
Quote: What’s more, unlike traditional battery electrolytes, this crab goo will break down in soil in about five months, leaving zinc—that can be recycled—behind.
... begins rotting an unspecified but apparently short time later (because 5mo is the done time not the start time).
Making it not just the perfect choice for all my devices with LiON batteries that can last a few years of daily recharges, but also things that I slap a pair of alkaline AA/AAA batteries in once a year or two.
There may be scenarios where this type of battery is reasonable; but I suspect it'll be limited to things that are otherwise 100% biodegradable anyway.

Making batteries out of crab shells may be a great idea
I'm sure that the crabs will disagree!

Up to (at least) n=5, I think?
English is also a house of cards, stolen from everyone else around the globe.

The U.S. Department of Justice told a federal judge today that Google illegally maintains its search monopoly by paying partners billions of dollars each year to Apple, Samsung, and a long list of wireless carriers— AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon in the U.S.—to ensure that it is always the default option on devices. When your company name has become a verb, you might just be a monopoly

I don't want to defend Google, but most other search engines are still a bit away from delivering as good results as them to the queries (and I'm not saingy that google's results list has no issues).
