Friday was the end of an era. Buddy moved from our team to become
a burden on someone else's. He sprinkled a few gems over the last
few weeks that had me shaking my head in confusion and awe.
- "I left my last job because I had to do too much JavaScript and
UI." Sure. Most of us would rather be doing other things.
(Slim promptly assigned him to backend C# code.)
- "I don't like writing business logic." Okay.....but why did
you take a job with a consulting company then? We will never be
doing anyting but UI and business logic, and we already know what he
thinks of UI.
- "I want to get back to Java. Doing .NET has made me be
treated like a junior programmer." Interesting statement for a
guy with over ten years of experience and an MCSD. One would
think good code, but that isn't the case. I know this because I'm
re-writing a lot of what he created. Maybe it was nothing more
than a complete lack of interest in what we were doing (see two points
above), but it certainly makes him look more junior than anyone else on
the team.
- "This UI stuff is giving me problems." Well....you're adding an image to a table......hmmm......Ahhhhh, poor muffin....
- "I have defects in the tracker? You mean I have to look in
it?" Ummmmmm....Easy Aragorn....easy....... I'm surprise
that she didn't do unto him as she might to an Orc.
Anyways, now who do I have to write about? I suppose I'll start writing about technology.
