It’s actually making me mad how close this was to my onboarding experience when I first started working with PLCs.
The test setup especially. Having to create this complex pseudo machine in order to make a preliminary proof of concept, only to find my IO block poached off my desk the next morning because someone else needed one.
That’s rough. For my interns I try to shield them from most of it, start with some real basics like uploading and downloading, changing constants, cross-references etc.

On the bright side I will be employed for life.
