I can always empathize with contractors and maintenance folks because as a Civil Engineer, I deal with so many shitty engineers myself it drives me crazy. Just unresponsive, no accountability, doing the bare minimum type of engineers make my blood boil. Having to tie in our scope of work to the work another shitty engineer creates double work for me. I end up being the QA/QC that the other firm was too lazy to do themselves. Laziness and incompetence, and praying nobody notices and that the contractor knows what they are doing. Just don't be that guy. Create work you are proud of and that you are happy to discuss with other people. I can tell instantly when another engineer is cagey or unhelpful that they didn't do their due diligence. You get paid a lot for this work, do it right.

Edit: to clarify, I am talking about maybe 5% or less of the engineers I work with. Not anywhere close to the majority. But 1 out of every 10 projects I am on, I am dealing with some shitty engineer that makes my job 5x harder.

Honestly, if you are on this sub, you are probably a pretty decent engineer. You are are actually interested in learning things and being better at your job.

Ive had trouble over the years finding the correct size/shoe for crack climbing. I rarely climb a crack that is foot jams the whole way. So when I size up so that the shoe is comfy in the footjams, the shoe feels floppy and insecure when toeing down on a foot chip. This is the issue with my floppy moccs. So comfortable on splitters, but go completely to shit the moment I have to toe on something. So most of the time I end up wearing my katanas. They are sized perfectly for edging and toeing, but then feel pretty painful if I have to actually footjam or toe jam.

What do yall think? Prefer painful footjams for good toeing? Or prefer insecure feet for the buttery jams? Go to crack climbing shoes?
