18:24 < kanzure> you're not paying enough. 18:24 < AdrianG> we would pay them whatever they are asking, if they'd fit the bill 18:25 < kanzure> somehow i get the impression that you can't afford me :) 18:25 < AdrianG> kanzure: i dont set the salary, idk how much you ask 18:26 < AdrianG> kanzure: i dont think you personally would be interested, also. 18:27 < kanzure> nah that's why i demand high pay, you think i truly want to be doing this stuff?

18:33 < AdrianG> ? 18:33 < AdrianG> bio is very different field from software. 18:34 < AdrianG> why necesarily field = bs? 18:34 < AdrianG> sure, you could call it "line of work", but thats too many letters. 18:35 < kanzure> you are fundamentally wrong; all work is essentially the same. the principles of doing correct and high-quality work are almost all universally the same. 18:35 < kanzure> and i also refuse to be typecasted as fields or lines or whatever, that's insane and useless; i'll do whatever i need to do, why should i care what field it happens to be?

18:38 < kanzure> specialization is for insects 18:40 < AdrianG> I refuse to change diapers, personally. 18:40 < kanzure> that's not specialization 18:41 < AdrianG> wasnt it part of that quote? hehe 18:41 < kanzure> why are you here, again?
