    As a child I used to annoy the hell out of my mother, by asking why… I’m a scientist now. Now I wonder why, as the pay is shit 😂

      Shout out from IT: pay is good, working there today is shit (agile) and confusing as hell.

        IT is fun until management comes in and wrecks the place with a load of time-consuming demands absent any reasoned justifications beyond things that don’t concern IT.

      This is true for literally every kid. All kids are born scientists but many lose interest or get frustrated over time

        When I was a kid and bugged my mom with ‘why’, she’d hand me a book about it and it would shut me up for hours

        And yet I’m told that millenial parents doing the same with their kids and youtube is fine and just like how my mother would hand me a book

        And we’re seeing the results come through highschool rn
