What does “heete” mean?
She has access to every and any database as she is the one who pulls the data for auditors, so is privileged to confidential and/or non-public knowledge. And like someone mentioned above, just by proximity, I (potentially) have access to that knowledge.
My wife works in the audit department of a bank. I'm heavily regulated by the SEC on what stocks, ETFs, mutual funds I can buy/sell. An internal group monitors my buying/selling and makes approval/denial before I can do so.

I have to hold an ETF for 1 month before I can sell it--not that I should be swing trading ETFs, but still. It's very frustrating at times, especially when I'm relegated to using just her bank's trading platform, too.

Linux sysadmin here. I’ve come across plenty of documentation, I’m almost certain was written by a dev, where it’s assumed I know the correct command line usage or concepts. I know a lot more than the average end user, but I’m _not_ a dev, either.

And please… (to those writing docs) always include examples. So many man pages lack examples; it can be very frustrating.

The modern web is insufferable. I can't click on a link without seeing a paywall and/or popups. ugh. Thank goodness for the wayback machine.
