Cutting and pasting into a new version, again, and again, and again. Looking at the old assembler the the guru wrote 20 years ago, afraid to touch it, but depending on it. Only to find out it's been wrong the whole time, but there are too many systems that depend on the the behaviour being consistent. Welcome to my world.

Of course, many think I'm crazy because I like RPG, but then, I'm in no position to gainsay them! Imric's Tips for Living Paranoia Is a Survival Trait Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised... Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Of course, I also wrote a COBOL generator in BASIC since I hated typing all that COBOL code.

Patently untrue. - (tseliot) - Feb. 12, 2003, 11:58:24 AM EST

Dunno. Because people suck at it? - (tseliot) - (8) - Feb. 12, 2003, 12:02:47 PM EST

Not sure what that has to do with my point. - (tseliot) - (6) - Feb. 12, 2003, 12:14:02 PM EST

We have one woman specifically to handle that. - (Brandioch) - (1) - Feb. 12, 2003, 04:37:08 PM EST
