A developer working in robotics reports spending over a day deep in the software stack ensuring that time stamps are consistent and monotonic across the whole system. They describe the work as tedious and unglamorous, producing no cool videos, but say it is the kind of unsexy engineering that makes everything else function properly, a sentiment many engineers share.
Why now: Frustration with tedious but essential infrastructure work is a relatable talking point among software and robotics engineers.

- I've been deep-down in the software stack since yesterday making sure that time stamps are consistent and monotonic across the system. It's tedious, it's unsexy, it does not produce cool videos, but it makes everything else just work. # robotics · uavster@indieweb.social · 1
