Being whistleblower and being involved in such legal proceedings sucks and I can imagine that one might give up (like Barnett in March) or that it takes a huge toll on your body (like Dean now). But then again … two such incidents around the same company … reminds me a bit too much of russian windows.

Of course. Great, another D in programming.

Have you finished it in the meantime?

I don’t believe in this distinction. I am proud of my work. If I wasn’t, I would have almost no drive to deliver good or even any results. I like what I do.

So of course it becomes a difference if you tell me that there is a better way to do what I did (aka giving me something to improve) or if you tell me that my work is utter crap (aka taking away any positivity I had).

So yes, my code can be wrong or bad. But it’s still something I produced. So I prefer to not have it treated like a piece of shit.

Thankfully I didn’t need high precision realtime. I just needed to wait a few seconds for serial comm.

On microcontrollers that might be a valid approach.
