Early in my career (which started in civil engineering) I was working with a man at the very end of his, which started in the 1950s. I was the young tech-focused intern who found a way to use a computer for everything even when printed and sometimes hand-drawn plans were the standard of the day. He asked me once if I knew how to use a slide rule, which I didn't.

"Well, what do you do when the power goes out?", he asked.

"I go home, just like you would.", I said with a smile.

He paused for a moment and nodded, "you know, you're absolutely right".

Nice story. I guess it can be looked at as some sort of parable. But if I take it literally: I never had a power outage at work, but SAAS downtime happens every year (probably multiple times).

Make sure you have enough vRAM around for the local models!

or, take the brief, unscheduled break.

Most corporate cultures need it ;]
