You're not wrong. I admit, it's a term from the euphemistic cogs-in-the-machine language of management. But I've found no way to entirely avoid adapting to "their" culture.
I'm a polyglot senior software engineer, I enjoy working in .NET the most, but will work with most anything. Lately I've really taken to building high performance and cluster based applications in .NET with Akka.NET.
I am currently interested in the field of machine learning, as such I'm currently in the process of (re)mastering my calculus and taking the Stanford ML course on Coursera.
