Soap Box 1.0 - Professional Profile

I work in deep embedded code for automotive purposes, my usual system resources are less than 8 kB of RAM and clocks of 20 - 50 Mhz. This means that I normally write C code with the occasional Assembly.

I used to work for an industrial equipment company for automated food inspection, we needed real time controls of various hardware (some custom made) and high processing power. We also used antiquated tools (VERY legacy code) so I have too much experience on VB6, C++/98 and IA-32 (x86) Assembly with all the SSE sets up to SSE4.1.

I also use C# but I am in no way a .NET expert, I kinda despise its "documentation" provided by MS and the constant paradigm changes introduced only to sell us another shiny product that will be discontinued in 5 to 10 years.

During my brief (but not enough) stint as a consultant I did everything barring janitorial duties, in Italy consultancy is a fancy word for unregulated body-rental and it shoud burn to the ground until not even ashes remain.

I have four rules:
1) Company paid time is for company work, personal time is for personal work or leisure.
2) If it's not written down I decline any responsibility for misunderstandings, missing / bad features or simple forgetfulness. Write it down or try your luck.
3) No coworkers on social medias. Coworker != Friend and it reduces the danger of snitching.
4) Pay = Time * Productiveness. Promise me raises and then withdraw them at your own peril.
