All is on edge in the Techno Insane Asylum today, I think its just a coincidence that I also happen to have brought a shinai into the office.
“You took a weapon to work?” I hear you ask!
Which tells me two things :-
- You don’t know me,
- You don’t know developers.
I should also point out that MPD was due into the office for a meeting today, This is the MPD who has on several instances deleted my work. And needs to be taught a lesson. And let me tell you its very satisfying to walk into a meeting with a customer who has annoyed you carrying a shinai, and answering his quizzical look “This is for a health & safety lecture, on the dangers of deleting a developers work!“
So I start explaining it to him for the 6th or 7th time, while just looking at his code to see if there’s a problem preventing the functionality working. Then I spot a small problem, THE TOTAL LACK OF MY CODE.
He’s only gone and overwritten all my work with old copies of the files again!
So the shinai is a valid visual aid to bring into a meeting with him.
