Normal day at the office
-
Coming in early monday morning, fix last weeks minor detail a little math here and there a little timeout etc. Build a new beta for the client to test. Complete the release, get the emails saying success - "new beta is now alive" etc. Do a little test run before clients wake up and start tampering with my work. I find I haven't fully killed the timeout. Oh sh*t, quick fiddle a bit with it. Unfortunately for me - Project Owner sees me working feverishly, "whats wrong?". Standard reply "oh nothing to worry about just a little timeout". I go to show him the issue - hmm no more timeout. Things worked out magically. And the Norwegian goes - "If it's broke don't fix it".

If it happened once, then was fine the second time, that's called an intermittent problem, which is just harder to test for, but it WILL happen to the client.

...except when he tries to demonstrate it to you.:mad:
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.
