He is not intrested in Software development, wants to make career in Networks.. so states that its useless to him..quote:

Good Idea If Debugging is the process of removing Bugs then i Guess programming should be process of Adding them. |

| When I taught an undergrad programming course, it seemed like cheating was rampant, and some students did almost in your face. I remember one kid who asked me for help with his assignment. I started looking at his code and couldn't make sense of it. When I asked him to explain what he was doing, he couldn't. Then he said "hang on, let me pull the original out of my email, this is the one I've been making changes to..." Opened his email (with me, his teacher, standing over his shoulder) and pulled his assignment out of an email attachment! I asked him if he wrote any of that code, and he got very defensive and said he had just asked for help and that I wouldn't understand his code because it was Indian style programming then refused help. (Indian or not, a loop is a loop and an if is an if and bad code is bad code!) Needless to say, he received an F.One of my favorite quotes comes from Mike Zintel of Microsoft: "I have a theory that everyone gets into software to write video games or build robots. Many discover that it's hard, they don't "got it", most of the paying jobs are for accounts payable systems and that rent costs money." Along those lines, the people who get into a computer science related field fall into two categories, those who get it and those who think they can make a lot of money doing it. The ones who are in it for the money figure out early on that it's hard and they don't get it, but there are plenty of smart people in the world who do and are willing to share/help/publish. I know people who've built careers on not getting it, we call them IT Directors where I come from...~Travis |

I have a theory that development team members who have insufficient technical skill are put in the role of prject managers, because everybody else is need to do actual work. These project managers eventually work their way up the ladder because "they have project management experience". |

| At the end of my second year at Collage while volunteering as a lab helper I had a guy ask me to copy all my labs for the semester and then asked to let him see my exam at the end of the week.(more like demanded). Of course I refused but I did tell him I would stay and help him catch up. Turns out he had not done any labs and had rarely shown up for lectures. At this point I told him he should anticipate re-taking the course. The guy starts screaming at me calling me a raciest and every other thing in the book. Two days later him and a couple of his buddies corner me in the Jon and tried to beat me up. After kicking their collective @$$ I found out that the 3 of them were on a federal grant that was being pulled because of grades. These three had a fee ride a paid (nice) apartment and expenses because their families were on welfare.These idiots threw it all away because they were to busy to maintain a 1.5 GPA (Yes folks they only needed a 1.5) Meanwhile I worked nights in the steel mill and got about 4 hours sleep so I could go to school. Where is the justice?JimUsers <> Logic |

We were talking along those same lines around the office the other day. The truly great programmers rarely ever become anything more than lead programmer, because they're too valuable to be moved off to management, while the truly lousy ones become project managers where they can do less damage. *Note I mostly do project management these days, but I was hired for it rather than promoted to it.~Travis |

| I just asked my Project Manager for a list of requirements on the Phase 2 of a project I am working on.I about lost it yesterday, when he started to give me some requirements on part of Phase 1 that I had to code with no requirements before I coded the SQL. Now, I am not doing any work while I wait for requirements on Phase 2.He just does not get the idea that it is: (Requirements First!!)1. Requirements2. High level Design3. Detail design/Implementation4. TestingTim S |
