Re: pic: (447) How do YOU keep programmers out of the electronics?

1.5 hours shouldn't be complained about, unless you have years of experience..
Well the funny thing is, this is my sixth year on this team, and my first four years (back in the glorious days of basic) I did electronics and programming. The two aformentioned programmers on my team are second year (a father and a son). What I did was, after spending about 10 mins tracing all my connections with an ohm meter, I did the only logical thing and (in my mind) blamed it on the programmers. One hour and twenty minutes later, they tried a new code and ... IT WORKED! I thought: "Eh, might as well let them figure it out for themselves."

So I completly agree with

Third, if they're going to blame you for it anyway, you might as well have fun.
