BTR is strongly associated with APC (armoured personnel carrier) in my native languages.

CTL - cuddle? More like cattle, castle, chronic tumor lymphocytes.

Because they are more clever than you.

FORTRAN isn’t a beauty either.
And Python is strange as hell with its mandatory tabs.

dual-core 1GHz RISC-V

Quite nice. Good for them.

No, it shouldn’t. The same way as factory machines don’t pay it.

SATA SSDs are the standard de facto, default variant. All other is “niche”.

Did the manager ask

How can I know? Plus engineer could easily lie as he did it right from the start.

but he needs to understand what his/her people are saying.

It isn’t enough to detect deliberate lies from an engineer like in this case.

You expect a manager to be more competent in engineering than an engineer? You expect the manager to always expect a lie from an engineer and recheck any data received from the engineer?

Well, we have very different ideas about how engineers and managers work.

So you want the manager to be cleverer than the engineer in engineering, so the manager would be able to detect a deliberate lie from the engineer?

You are contradicting yourself.

Do you want me to present you with a definition of “lie”? I believe you don’t understand the phrase “Lies and creates shit”.

That would be a waste of a perfectly good bullet. A club will suffice.

hate the game.

Game rules: You want a promotion? Make something cool, improve something while using approaches that will show that you deserve a higher position and, therefore, a bigger salary.

Player: (Lies and creates shit that is even worse than the initial situation.)

Lemmy: Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Ok, now fire him.
