Comment on About to turn the car to a flying car

I’m with you, I’m the one who read my wife’s car manual.

One of life’s pleasures, for me, is getting home with a shiny new thing and going over the manual and trying out the features, and of course it will work as described, and somehow that’s very satisfying.

I might be on the spectrum though, my experience is that people find that weird.

  Same, but in my line of work (programmer) it makes me look like a damn savant. “How did you know how to do X?” “Oh, I vaguely remembered something from reading the API docs 2 years ago so I just went and looked it up again”

    Hey fellow programmer! This is definitely a thing for me too, it’s uncanny how frequently some random tidbit about a piece of architecture that I’ve tinkered with as a hobby years ago becomes relevant, and I just blurt out to a colleague “oh, do this and that, and it should work”.
    
    But on the other hand I have to pause for like 30 seconds up to a full minute before answering when is my kid’s birthday, just to make sure I’m not getting it wrong somehow. 😭
