Nov. 8th, 2004 09:32 pmMondays in general are a bad idea. Even worse are long, rambling, barely coherent meetings on Mondays when people actually have work that needs to be done.
Picking fights with developers who are being lazy pricks and refusing to fix the stuff they wrote which doesn't work properly isn't necessarily a good thing, but sometimes is a necessary thing. He's going to lose, too, because i made certain that what i thought the stuff he did was supposed to do matched with what the PM thought it was supposed to do, and the PM arrived at his understanding by asking the business owner how she wanted it to work. He could have just done it properly the first time, but if he wants to be an asshole about it, he's going to find one very intractable tester who's going to refuse to sign off on his crap until it has been fixed. Since it's an integral part of a corporately mandated development which has to ship by a certain date, he's not got much of an option.
But, on the good side, we soon should have another test resource, as
daemonwolf should be joining us in fairly short order.
