  • Technology Connections recently posted a detailed video about dehumidifiers that’s worth watching. But a key takeaway is that on an AC, the hot side is outside (making the inside cool), while in a dehumidifier they are directly next to each other (condensing the moisture).

    Without looking into the specifics, my guess is that it’s not routing the cold air over the hot side to keep things inside the same temperature.

    You’ve already asked yourself what’s the worst that can happen. Now ask her what she thinks is the worst that can happen, and what she thinks would actually happen. Do not correct her or interrupt, and only ask probing questions so that you can better understand.

    I promise you that her answers are not the same as yours.


  • You mention spending a lot of time on strange and niche stuff. Don’t be ashamed of that; wear it as a badge of honor. You were solving obscure and archaic issues where the answer isn’t a Google search away. Chat GPT wouldn’t even begin to find the answers.

    And, as you should tell potential employers, you can do the same to their obscure, spaghetti-code, internal product loaded with tech debt. Because that’s what they always are. You may run into a challenge if their goal is to modernize it instead of just maintaining it, but that just means you focus on understanding it first.
