I read an article last week regarding the decommissioning. The site managers hoped to dismantle the receiver before it fell, as they were concerned about collateral damage.

This article[^] provides more detail, and states that no injuries have been reported.

You think it's a coincidence that it happened right after those metal monoliths started appearing? The aliens don't want us knowing what's up. Laugh | :laugh:

The better developer you are, the better questions you will ask.

Conversely, the not so great developers need most of the help.

I'm not sure how to fix that. Sigh | :sigh:

The worst part of that is when you ask a good question your chances of getting a useful answer are rather low. It's an inverse relationship - the better the question the tougher it is to get an answer for.

-edit-

Well duh. That's what makes it a good question. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Occasionally I have keen sense for the obvious. On other occasions it escapes me.

That's absolutely true. Eventually I came to realize that I had crested the field - at least in business development when I ran out of people I could ask when running into code trouble. Laugh | :laugh:

Probably nothing else would have convinced me. I have terrible Impostor Syndrome.

I definitely see that. I can discuss things with a few people and usually that amounts to me vocalizing my issues and that in itself is usually enough to trigger an insight. Often that means talking to myself, especially since I am working at home. Although I have found my dogs to be good listeners, they rarely have helpful ideas.

My hubby tells me "put another variable in. that will fix it"

It never helps. Laugh | :laugh:
