I have a job stalled right now, I believ because a jackass manager decided to get an opinion from AI on the design for a larger steel ramp structure, which is wrong, but the jackass has zero capability to respond now that I have asked for clarification as to which numbers were used in his "calculations". As of right now I have a whole string of jobs hung up because of errors in designs and blueprints that are bieng sent to me to fix, somehow, but with, again, zero capacity to make descisions, deal with the cold, hard reality of figuring out how to build something out of metal, something they need, now, but only one unit, which has certain indeterminate issue, requirement, or aquardness that will tie up and jam a whole large organisation, where quite litteraly a broken door handle repair, ends up getting bumped, up, and up, to the top, as there is no PO, part numbers, mission statements, or glad handers, and NOBODY wants it on THERE desk. so the front doors, on a major asset located on very prime real estate, sit there flapping, and getting a hunk of chain wrapped around them for months, and now they cant figure out how to pay for having that, suddenly fixed. if I was less busy, I would be angry but it is turning out to be an amusing and bemusing viewpoint of the lurching ,jerking, debaucle brewing itself up.up↑ there

Your job sounds really different from what's typical here on HackerNews. I'm really curious - can you tell us more about it?

metal, the bending, joining, of metal for humans to use for something™,who find me through the interwebs , which I have been useing since the dawn, off and on, clumsily, but since grade school. the apple store was one room above a chinese resturaunt and had painted chip board walls. I have two web sites, one is a rental and I own the other, but I am focusing more and more on my core strengths in dealing with physical realities, which sometimes I call "applied geometry", though often there are curves and shapes that dont realy have names. But as a good deal of the work is designed and comunicated about with the use of computers and phones, I also spend a lot of time thinking about how that could be better, so hanging out here , trying to fight the good fight, is part of most days.
