  • This is a little bit unfair to paleoartists. A lot of the drawings people are most familiar with came from a time when there was less evidence for feathers. They absolutely update drawings as more fossils are found that change the picture, but we don’t always go and look at the newest art. Just how much feather cover specific dinosaurs would have had is still a bit unknown but it’s unlikely they would have had anywhere near as much feather cover as modern birds.

    On the one hand the way corporations expect loyalty and devotion all the time in return for a very small percentage of their profits being paid out to us as salary sucks. On the other, having to work if you want to eat is just kind of…life? Not saying we couldn’t work on something better as a society, but there’s been very few people at any point in human history who didn’t have to work hard to survive. I’m glad that I get to at least do soulless work in an office which is mostly just boring instead of hard labor or something actively dangerous.

    A lot of people with poorly developed social skills like to pretend that poorly developed social skills don’t make them a bad coworker. I don’t think I agree with that. Your job isn’t just the stuff you like. Organization, prioritization, collaborating and interacting with your coworkers, attending meetings and making useful contributions, just generally not being a dick…all of those are your job. Interviews often take place after they’re already convinced that you have the required background, so they’re largely interested in discovering whether you’re a good chemistry match for the team.

    Can’t really speak to grueling tech interviews though. That’s a whole different category of thing.
