Oh yeah sales people always think bringing an engineer onto a call is a great idea until they try it a few times. We’re a blunt people who want a fair exchange

Yeah because we know how it works behind the curtain.

I didn't go in engineering to fuck people over. I want to be proud of my work, and the salespeople put their dirty shit all over it.

Exactly, the reasons I’m an engineer are very tied to the reasons I helped a coworker with her kid’s math homework the other day. I just want to help, to understand things, and to help people understand things
