re: #49 engineer cat

here is the ‘agile manifesto’:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

Oh god, that’s pure evil

I wouldn’t work in a company that did that.

In my last company we were working on a high volume/optimistic/multi processor/compiling database engine that would likely be used for important things like financial transactions.


so they had kids straight out of college who were totally incompetent (when I got there they used NUMBERS instead of field ie *(aPointer+48) instead of pointer->field) working in an extreme team on the core…

They pretty much had to rewrite from scratch 4 times to get rid of the bugs

I would stand up in meetings and say “when are we going to document the code”

Eventually we got new management and the bosses had the guts to say “never” “we will never document the code”
Then they fired me.
