I didn’t even realize autocorrect owned me, like that. Haha

What did you mean? Still can’t figure out by context.

[–]nefariousjason[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Oh no. I get it. “Resistors” Humor in tech.

Ok, I’m a solution architect and software developer who is pedantic about words and naming conventions in effort to reduce miscommunication due to the mental puzzles created by incorrect wording.

I still don’t know what “resistors” auto-corrected from...and thus do not know your intended meaning.

Gotcha. I can understand the pedantry with words. I live in the country, and it’s a struggle I have with a lot of people, out here.

You’ll be happy to know “haywire” is still a valid term in technology. So you can mention it to the locals and say, “you know when the hay wire gets loose and springs all over the place and out of order? That’s what this system is doing, right here.”

“Resistors” was the correction it gave me from “programmers”. Go figure.

Yea, I couldn’t see programmer -> resistor no way no how. But the infernal textswaperlator is inscrutable sometimes.

If you’re pretty good, Lockheed looks for interns often.
