For want of a nail

I took an animation and film making class in high school. Flip book movie making and Zoetropes.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Our two tech writers sit behind me. They use Adobe Illustrator, Acrobat, and Photoshop, as well as several large-ish art packages. They are constantly wrangling disk space, moving files around trying to free enough room to do their job. They have one 250GB drive apiece :omg: . I sit here with two 2TB SSD's and a 2TB hard drive (currently empty). For the hour or so each and every day wasted on this activity, they could buy an SSD for each and they'd never have to do this again.
Software Zen:
delete this;They simply don't know any better. Many many years ago when I was building a development team and hiring people, part of the initial "welcome aboard" speech, is when I told them that a) we have an expense account; b) if you need tools buy them; c) if you need a book, buy it. It was stunning to me how stupefied technical people have become. The reaction was typically this: them: "don't you need to approve it?" me: "no, I pay you over 80k/year. I expect you to make good choices and share with the team." them: "starting to hyperventilate...." 20+ years ago, I had 2 monitors. It was not until 5 years ago or so that most of my fellow developers had them. Why? Because they did not ask. It still shocks me to this day that IT gets to decide what is appropriate equipment for developers. simply absurd.

A high-velocity bullet can reach speeds of over 1200 m/sec. If one is firing 4200 bullets/sec, that means that there are about 25 centimeters between bullets.
