If the "new" engineer wants to learn then go to Uni like the rest of us did.

Thanks, all the millstones i saw were Electronics graduates, even new Masters graduates, or even PhD's.

Thanks, but online Millstones can be ignored, unlike the real company Millstone, that the Company owner handcuffs to you.
Zero999:
What do you mean by Millstoning?

Does it mean to roll one of these along?

You like that word. Enough to use it twelve times in a single post, anyway. But AFAIK it's not a common usage (and I would be mega-surprised if it were particularly relevant to SMPS), so I wonder if you've got a bet somewhere that you can get some obscure term to propagate around t'web.

Yep. I can’t even find reference to this usage. Not in a dictionary, not on web searches… if it is an existing usage, it’s an extremely obscure one.

Not that it matters since the post itself is nonsense anyway.

Thanks,
I have seen a senior SMPS designer get millstoned......then because he wasnt able to concentrate on his work....a power supply went into testing, and 4 million pounds worth of radio test data had to be scrapped as the SMPS went unstable.
Millstoning, i assure you, is very real.
