This is

as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

. Here I write about many things. In the past I wrote about other things but the past is past. I write code for people to play with, I write about my life on Twitter, and I write here.

On I wrote Proactive engineers, on the subject of Rants and Musings.

Overheard during a conversation at work today (don't know who was being talked about, but it was someone external):
He's a nice guy, but he's not really a pro-active engineer.
I think I'd rather be a nice guy.

Believe it or not, I was actually placed on one month probation at my last job for not being Pro-Active enough. When I asked my bosses how they would assess whether I'd become *more* proactive at the end of the probation... they went into the next room, and came back with: "We'll let you know".

I quit the next week.

Nonsence, every engineer should fix problems before they are even known about. Goes with the job, doesn't it?
