Role Model
-
Started my career just eight months ago.... And before I could realize my boss(project manager) has become my role model.It's now I am realizing that I have started working,the way I sit in office chair, the way I talk to colleagues/client, smoke,drink all like the way he does... Its pretty amazing I think...any views on it?
Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Idolization... is that what unexceptional people do?

I suggest you choose a new role model. May I suggest that you try to imitate Darth Vader in meetings? If someone disagrees with you, see if you can force choke them?
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.
CodeStash - Online Snippet Management | My blog | MoXAML PowerToys | Mole 2010 - debugging made easierOh so that was why one of my junior devs was holding out his hand with a funny squint the other day. The force certainly wasn't with him that day, he still got the crap VSTO job!

I knew I wanted to go into development ever since I was in secondary school... what actually got me into computers / coding & development in general was a game called Subspace (Continuum) developed by Priit Kasesalu (also helped develop Skype). The game had the ability to create entirely different games within its 2d engine which let me experiment alot. Priit later helped develop the P2P software on Kazaa and later Skype. So I would say due to his involvement in Continuum (the remake of Virgin Interactives Subspace) I would say intially he was my role model as a developer.

It's not stolen Michael I just borrowed it? :) I guess I should have written "To be sung to the tune of Brown Girl In The Ring, by Boney M." below it. That would have made it clear to everybody. Cheers!

I reckon it was better not stating the song, I'd love to know the tune others had in their head while they read it**

If you were thinking Boney M, then you hit the nail on the head.
