What is a well known 'public secret' in the industry you work in that the majority of outsiders are unaware of?

  • I always wondered why Paul Westerberg caught the flu so much. When I finally got to see him live a few years ago he definitely was coming down with the flu on stage.

  • As an everyday user of software who's not a developer, this is not a secret. Nothing works well for any extended period of time.

  • I still have no idea what a tankie is, and I have no idea why the top active posts are always tankie this and tankie that. I've tried to filter as many of those communities and users as I can, but now all I'm left with is software developer memes (yes, you have the hardest job ever, we get it) and requests for FOSS alternatives to FTP my Linux repo PowerShell GitHub thingy in privacy.

  • Hell, I remember all the hype building up for Skyrim for years before its release. I made it a point then to ignore all the articles and reviews and Bethesda salesmanship, and I was in awe at the game on release. I remember people being angry about snow wasn't sticking like Bethesda promised or some such nonsense.

    Same thing with Starfield...I've ignored all press events and interviews and spoilers and anything that had to do with promises of features. Just started it tonight and I'm enjoying it. I'm not in awe yet, but it's fun. I'm certainly not angry about anything, that's for sure.

  • Can you really not tell the difference between a quick "how's it going" (which should elicit nothing more than a nod) and a boisterous "how's it going?!" (which should elicit a conversation between acquaintances)?
