A quick question, should the software engineer lick the monitor screen or the keyboard?

I… uh… am asking for a friend who is a software engineer.

I am a butterfly instructor.

the motherboard. how else can you tell that it is working?

Given most software engineers develop in a cloud environment, I would… I mean my friend would have to shove their head into a server rack that is consuming high amounts of wattage. My friend would then have to try reaching for the motherboard by extending their tongue.

The only problem I see here is travelling to the data centre which are often located in different countries or even continents. I am not sure if their employer would cover that expense.
