Re: Programming tricks (and former trade secrets)

Quote:
Quite the tempting idea when, on my team at least, anyone who's not involved with programming immediately says "Blame the programmers" when something doesn't work...
The shop was riding us pretty hard, even on stuff that was obviously their problem. I think they slowed down (but not totally stopped) when I started replying "I'll get right on it."....

"Aw gee, the arm broke again -- must be a programming error."
"I'll get right on it!"
"Pneumatics tube popped out -- programming error!"
"I'll get right on it!"

They do not want me touching anything but a keyboard....

They also slowed down when I got their #@$$^% robot to actually work
