this is the professionalism and commitment to detail for which i am paid
every day for a month i have had this conversation:
"why does <regex> not match <random word i have never seen before>?"
because you didn't tell me it had to
"Why don't you get it from the spec?"
no such document exists, you guys coming up with new words every week is not a spec
Surprise meeting!
Surprise feature that needs implementing!
Surprise my background project suddenly is becoming high priority!
(gurgling noise)
Brainstorming ideas for my (well, our) office:
Kat: you should take some measurements before you start looking at things
Me: ehh, I'm really in the 'ideas' phase
Kat: but don't you want to be able to tell if things will fit?
Me: why is it the writer wants to start with empirical measurements and the engineer has a vibes based process?
