Go to Post Feelings are like the laws of physics: if some one feels offended or alienated, then they are offended or alienated - it doesnt matter why you dropped a hammer, if it falls on someones head they will be hurt. You cant expect it to not hurt, because you did not intend to hurt them. - KenWittlief [more]

Re: "Quotes" that were said during build season

After a rousing discussion of Mario Kart...

Me: "We should shoot green shells on the track."
Person A: "We can't detach mechanisms from the robot."
Me: "I don't think a turtle shell is a mechanism!"

I proceed to ask everyone whether they think a turtle shell is a mechanism, until person B arrives...

Person B: "You don't need to detach it. just tether it to a string and reel it in quick with a motor."
Me: "IT CAN BE OUR BUMP TO PASS!"

I explain the funny series of events to a few people in the shop...

Person C: "Why a green shell, why not the blue one?"
Me: "The spikes would be a puncture risk"
Person C:" Nah! We'll have Joe file 'em" (Joe hates filing)



Looking back, if person C would have said red shell, I would have said "too much autonomous programming."

And yes, programmers on 1675...

"Program State!"
"PROGRAM STATE!"
