@RоryMcCune it's afternoon here, and whilst the internet connection is good I've not managed to download all of the WoW beta... yet

@RоryMcCune seriously, are we doing that or not?

do you want sleep deprivation, because that's how you get sleep deprivation.

@RoryAlsop no idea, thankfully it "taps oan" weather here

And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."

this is week 2, flying back at the weekend

Colin Cassidy

Mar 29, 2016 07:19

it's not too warm, actually just about right, and ready to do the tourist thing. Their subway system is pretty good, wouldn`t recommend the busses

Colin Cassidy

Mar 29, 2016 07:11

and pleasure (if you like your work)

Nac Mac Feegle

The Nac Mac Feegle (also sometimes known as Pictsies, Wee Free Men, and the Little Men) are a type of fairy folk that appear in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels Carpe Jugulum, The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky, Wintersmith, I Shall Wear Midnight, Snuff, and The Shepherd's Crown. Aside from being six inches tall, they just about invert the Victorian concept of mystical and refined fairies, and hark back to the fairies of folklore, who were generally seen as occasionally helpful thieves and pests. The Nac Mac Feegles' skin appears blue because it is heavily tattooed and covered with wode, and...

@AviD well the code certainly looks like a monkey has flung its poo on the screen

Colin Cassidy

Mar 23, 2016 09:46

because if we're doing that now I've got 15 years of bugs I can cash in on

Colin Cassidy

Mar 23, 2016 09:45

@RоryMcCune if I didnt know any better I'd think that the person who found the bug was the person who put the bug in there in the first place

"on the job training" is my pet hate. As is "We have a training budget, but we've cancelled the T&L budget"

@RoryAlsop it's an oddity in the software business in that if you're not directly contributing then you must be wasting time. When this is clearly wrong. If you hire a lawyer, some of their billable time will be learning and keeping up to date with changes to the law. However to keep up with new technologies, we have do to that in "our own time"...

Colin Cassidy

Mar 18, 2016 15:07

oddly no one seems to want to comment on that one, yet that's the behaviour driven by similar metrics

Colin Cassidy

Mar 18, 2016 15:06

the obvious "bad metric" is the fewer testers we have == fewer bugs

Colin Cassidy

Mar 18, 2016 15:05

or "say what you are going to do in a sprint" and then be measured on what you've done, lead to people saying that they'll complete the thing they did last sprint and work on the next thing for the following sprint

Colin Cassidy

Mar 18, 2016 15:04

@RоryMcCune metrics drive bad behaviour, we wanted fewer code review fails... so guess what... :)
