if you're someone vital to the operational stability of the company, then the minute you're gone, your presence missing will be noticed as maintenance stops functioning

The last two times I job-hopped, the systems I left behind held out for over a year because I design them for stability and to not require babysitting.

Comment Orphan Crushing Machine (Score 1) 236

Orphan-Crushing Machine is a metaphor for "heartwarming" news stories about someone remedying the immediate effects of a sociopolitical issue that ignore the root cause of said issue. The catchphrase and metaphor satirize these stories by comparing them to a story of a person raising money to keep 200 orphans from being crushed where nobody questions why an orphan-crushing machine exists in the first place.
