I am -not- in academia (so I can’t upvote), but this makes me somehow feel kinda better about myself.

Please tell me that, idk, “thoughtful” people need more time to review things (carefully), or something, and that explains this fault... Right? Hello? Is this thing on?

How do you spot the wizard students?

Fun fact: this is also industry

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 months ago

Except that in industry no one gets tenure.

[–] nucleative@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Yes, I'm free for a lunch meeting last Friday. See you then.
