The worst thing that ever happened in software engineering was when Kirk asked Scotty how long something would take and Scotty said thirty minutes and Kirk said you’ve got five and Scotty got it done in five and impressionable children watched this and grew up to become managers.

@thomkennon Hmmm… OK, but please don’t directly link to my LinkedIn profile. It’s meant as a general observation, and I don’t want it to be misinterpreted as a dig at my own workplace.

@isaacfreeman wow, cool, thx and totally get it! In fact, perhaps I black out your handle and image?

@thomkennon Thanks! If I used LinkedIn regularly I’d be fine with being connected to it, as I’d be able to monitor and respond to any unintended interpretations. However, I go years between visits and I’m mindful that my profile there is linked from my employer’s public-facing website.
