@yogthos unfortunate higher-order effect of this: when pharma tweaks a drug into a form you can actually take (due to your metabolic variance) and then your health insurance parasite organization won't cover it because they claim it's one of those useless "evergreened" non-generics

@Mek101 @faoluin somebody who manages and/or curates large collections of stuff.

my first non fast food job turned out to be doing this at one of the aforementioned research labs for huge bibliographs of scientific citations. a lot of it had to do with lake sediments.

@faoluin yeah, I did some contracting with a quantum dot research lab for a while and ended up quitting mostly because they dicked with everyone's pay, but also partly because I got overruled by some exec who flew in from overseas and decided to do a bunch of shit the terrible way. it definitely happens in all types of human endeavor.

@faoluin came back to this because I realized what you meant by front end etc in your original reply

I'm happy enough coding webshit personally, what turns it onerous for me is having to code it to the specifications of people who don't know what they're doing.

making a webshit UI or API for some piece of equipment is less likely to make me hate life than having to make somebody's tentacle-filled pile of PHP always worse and never better on their command.
