Machine code? If you can’t build a circuit to solve your problem it’s a lack of skill.

It’s the new “promotion machine.” The first manager: “I saved this company x dollars using AI, promote me.” The new manager: “I increased productivity by x percent getting rid of AI, promote me.” Repeat.

He sees a whole different side of things now.

Usually you want the long side to go against the longest wall, this is to minimize cuts. But it’s really a matter of personal preference, there is no “wrong way” as long as you leave expansion room on the edges and have a way to cover any rough edges around the doors and transitions. Also from experience make the offsets between rows somewhat random, even a three row pattern can be seen.

I’d start on the left side then work my way to the right. Slowly but surely placing each floor in parallel to the last. I’d apply the grout ever so lovingling, caressing the seem between floors. I’d fill the gaps with a mortar and pastel slowly working the tool into the floor until it is satisfied. I would say to the floor “there is no other way” as I get it wet with my mop, spraying every inch of it with thick sprays of soap. The floor would know it was wrong but love it too much to care. The floor and I would lay in a heap our bodies intertwined and pulsing in post flooring bliss.
