Cleaning other people's mess is okay for a while. But making a career out of it is too much for me.

I do firmware for embedded systems and every mechanical, electronics or general engineering issue is shoved down in my court because it's easier for people to take shortcuts in the engineering process and say "we'll fix it in the firmware" since I can change code 100 times a day.

Slop is the embodiment of that on steroids and it will get old pretty fast.
