    As an engineer, ill frequently get an email or slack message asking me to do something Im employed to do but haven’t done in months. I have to drop my current work and try to relearn something that is now slightly different in unexpected ways. And its already broken too, thats why I got the message. Def ruins a day.

      I recently received a question along the lines of “Hey do you remember [project we did roughly 18 months ago]? What firmware version did we use on the controller?”

        Someone just assigned me a Jira issue for a project I haven’t been on the team for since at least 2 and a half years ago. We didn’t even use Jira when I was on that project.
