Mine simply asked me "How would you like to die?"
Just really really love that.
Haha! Right!?!
Joshua just shared his TED talk in a group I'm in, saying:
my talk just went live and it's entirely a shitpost
Some of the comments he's included are hilarous.
Feels like a metaphor for a lot of the work I do....
Oi! Walked into a few shops in my time that tried to do that, generally the first practice I stopped.
Back in the late 90’s at IBM Global Services, we used to joke that our customer used AAA testing for their airline software.
A user
A PC
A time
Funnily enough, Ansett airlines don’t exist anymore, and Australian air travel is safer as a result, IMO.
Yeah, I'll wager that Ansett going bust isn't a major contributing factor to our airline safety.... As an ill-informed infrequent flyer
Honestly, that organisation was a total Charlie foxtrot! Most IBM staff believed that Ansett had hired IBM to manage their production systems so they could blame us for their own f’k ups.
They would build these outrageously expensive systems that had no chance in hell of working correctly, and then hand them over to us to manage so they could say it was our fault.
Eg we told them that windows NT 4.0 clustering didn’t work and to not bother. So they ordered and built a $250k cluster anyway and then blamed us when it didn’t work. The hardware worked perfectly, but as we warned them ,NT 4.0 clustering didn’t rendering half the system a paper weight.
No more protein shakes!
Anyone who says "Slaying a dragon is its own reward" has never actually slayed a dragon.
Pay the dude, or at least offer a reward!
