Fun reporting from the test department:
build A was fine
build B had issue x
build C had issue x'

Issues x and x' are related and triggered by hardware manipulation, and have nothing to do with the code changes between builds A, B and C

root cause: device hardware - builds A, B and C were tested on separate devices

Going to have a chat with the test department lead 🔥

Am increasingly annoyed so many businesses still use the phone to arrange/communicate stuff that doesn’t need a phone call.

One contractor I hired for a project *really needed* to speak via phone to go over important stuff prior to install day.

It was just a list of items for me to do to prepare. That’s it.

Could have been a PDF download or an email.

PDF or email would have been better, because not only would it have wasted none of my time, but then I could have referred to it before install time, whereas all the crap they said on the phone I would have to either remember, or take notes while talking.

Incredibly Inefficient.

Another contractor needs to speak on the phone to arrange time for a consultation . Why?

This can easily be done in email, and in email there is less chance of miscommunication, because you can copy/paste my address and contact info.
