TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Imagine spending your best adult years as a member of the galaxy’s largest exploration and peacekeeping organization fighting trench wars against an alien you barely just learned about and becoming a cold-blooded killer who is haunted by the faces of your victims every single night only to get “promoted” to a position where you are forced to maintain a busted down space station they left behind which was built by slave labor.
He basically begged for that position after years of standing in the transporter room, waiting for the odd episode where something actually does go wrong with it.
He wanted a place where he could be creative and solve problems, rather than be overshadowed by the chief engineer getting the credit every time.
As a software engineer for a large corporation, I feel this deeply
Geordies has like a 10th of the skills Miles has, there's no way in hell Geordi could keep DS9 running.
Also, he'd go broke renting out Quark's holosuites.
Yes and Geordi is too perfectionist to deal with the messiness of working on an abandoned Cardassian station. The job is half auto mechanic, half engineer. Geordi is all engineer. We hardly ever saw him get his hands dirty.
Having maintained a large legacy codebase and being one of the only people who knew how it worked, it was kinda fun.
That reward you get tracking down an obscure and deep codepath that crosses program runtime and language barriers to discover and correct a bug is so satisfying.
Later you'll explain the bug in your PR and nobody will have any idea what's happening, but they approve the PR nonetheless.
Then one day you’re tracking down a fault and all the computers come alive.
