Nihilism, or efficiency? You make the call!

I've decided that when one has pointed out to team members that there is a big iceberg directly in the path that has been decided on, and been met with "LALALALALALALALALALALA", the only reasonable course of action is to go full steam ahead dead on into the damned thing, as fast and as hard as possible.

1) It proves the existence of the iceberg.
2) It minimizes the amount of time wasted on arguing about the existence of the iceberg.
3) It minimizes the amount of time until an alternate course can be plotted.

If they're bound and determined to rip a hole in the hull, who am I to do anything but my absolute best possible job at facilitating that?


Service with a smile, I always say!

Programmers Curse

My father, who was a programmer for about 35 years always told me as a child that the ultimate programmers curse was:

'Give them exactly what they asked for'

Heh. I think I should post that in my office. :D

Make sure you save the initial spec request, though, so you can _prove_ that you gave them what they asked for.

Otherwise they will merely crucify you for not giving them what they wanted.

Actually, they'll still crucify you for not giving them what they wanted, but at least you can support your lamentations to the other schlobs in the unemployment line with documentation.
