I will say it ' s much , much more difficult to blend in . When my friend goes to the grocery store there is an 85 % chance she will see someone she knows . Then there ' s a social obligation to stop and make small talk . Hopefully it ' s not a coworker or your boss who may have something work related to discuss . There is are upsides but it ' s not all roses and sunshine . <| sep |> Try writing a minimal program that uses timeNULL and srand , for instance pseudocode main srandtimeNULL for 100 times printrandAnd see if it crashes . If it doesn ' t , chances are your program doesn ' t work properly for certain random sequences . <| sep |> I have grown so tired of the maybe next year garbage , especially when it comes to the team as a whole . If we can get value for an unproven , inconsistent , 4 A player , we should be taking it every time . Justin Smoak , and Dustin Ackley are perfect examples of wasted time , imagine what we could have traded for them before they were known low quantities .
