Re: why blame the programmers??

This reminds me of one of my first days in my job right out of college....

My lead went up to me and said half serious and half jokingly, "The most important thing to do at the start of a new project is to determine to whom to assign blame when things go wrong. Unfortunately this will have to be you!"

So really programmers you need to get on the act early and get the team to assign blame to mechanical earlier!!!!

Other great sayings.. "Don't worry we'll take care of this" "We" being the "Royal We' meaning X teamate will take care of it not me!

In all seriousness he was the best boss/mentor I could have had coming right out of college.
