What is the best skill you possess that makes you stand above the average person?
I want to join in here too with the exceptionally good driving. I, like everyone else here, am totally a very much better driver than the average person on the road. Exponentially much better, even!
One friend of mine says the same all the time… In fact, he’s the worst driver I’ve ever driven with! In reality, I am much better and even exponentially better than the average driver.
I like to think people learn from me just by hearing my cry of “come onnnnn!”
All you have to do in order to be a better than average driver is to be alert to what’s going in around you. I do that, and I drive fast. I’m an exponentially better driver than most.

Could you tell us a bit more about the software or frameworks you use ?
Golang for the software, test hardware can be pretty broad. For sense and measurement we use national instruments hardware.
Automating the tests, or testing automation software? Your description sounds like the latter.
I primarily write automation software, so would be interested in what you use for testing.
Automating functional tests for products and their subassemblies while on the manufacturing line.
We do write tests for our software too though. The projects are written in golang, unittests sprinkled in with go’s builtin test framework. Integration tests use our in house product simulations that were originally designed for firmware validation.
Other people are sometimes amazed by my language skills. I’m German, know English pretty well, and am learning japanese since about half a year. I’m not too sure, if how many languages/how good most people speak/understand.
I’m good at being optimistic and happy I would say. I’m also very calm and rational in situations many would find themselves angry or sad. One things that definitely helps is walking. It gives you time to think and appreciate your surroundings.
And of course, I’m good with computers. I have some servers I regularly do some new stuff with, and work in Cybersecurity (as student but hey you got to start somewhere)

Not getting stung by bees?
I have a lot of experience reconstructing whale skeletons for museums and such. I do it as a hobby with a friend of mine who is the marine mammals recovery coordinator for the state of North Carolina.
Based Lego.
Haha I think I would describe it more like erector sets than lego but yes it is very similar. We put the whales in the ground for ~18 months and then pull them out and out them together piece by piece

i got 4 nukes in MWII
I’m pretty good at controlling my temper… does that count?
Teach us your ways
No magic bullet, it just takes years of practice and a jail sentence or two later before you realize some things are not worth getting cranky over.
Pretty much everything. The average person can’t read and write, can’t swim, can’t run or hold a steering wheel with two hands, because the average person doesn’t have two legs and two arms, etc
How many do they have?
1.9
I got a PhD in philosophy. I have exponentially more experience applying for jobs and getting rejected than most people.
I was clearing out my Hotmail. I’ve a Msc in health psych. Well over 1k in reject emails. I may have a rival

Knowing the name and premise of a Futurama episode within the first minute.
My humility.
Joking aside though, I’d like to think I’m pretty empathetic and understanding.
So you’re asking people what they do for a living?
Doing something for 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week makes you a lot better at that thing than other people.
Actually doing something for 40 hours a week is truly remarkable. People waste so much time, me included.
Man I’m so good at sleeping though. I get at least 5 hours a night, so that’s 40 a week! Woohoo!
/s
Where do you get an 8-day week? I want one (assuming it’s an extra break day not work day…).
But I don’t spend 40 hours doing the same thing. I do a bunch of different regular bullshit that you can’t really be “good” at, like sending emails and chatting with people on Teams.
Pole dancing! I’ve taught professionally for like 15 years.
Btw this instance is about to be exposed to amazing pole fitness content, prepare yourselves.
