So, you're arguing that coders have no common sense or ability to question user requirements?

I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

Ive missed it .. and just overheard something in the bus ... sounds horrendously true PS: will try to be more original :P in future

[Bergholt Stuttley Johnson]

oh course not, that the job of the requirement analyst, it not our fault users dont actual know what they want

You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

[tumbledDown2earth]

Some, like me, are :)

[tumbledDown2earth]

Yeah ... even if they know, users cant expect many times ..

Lighten up Francis. It was a joke. However, if you talk to business people I think you'll find that they think it's true.

The talking mule. Your wife says it's you in disguise.

Michael Martin Australia "I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash One Fine Saturday. 24/04/2004

Don't be too quick to claim credit -- before there were programmers, it used to be a joke about engineers.

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

That's not what she was talking about when she was talking about the way I was hung.

if a then if b else c -> to any decent coder b and c go together, and similarly 6 goes with eggs. As a side note, sometimes I wonder if I over analyse things. But then sometimes I think "maybe I don't over-analyse things?"

you're worried a duplicate joke posting will cause the CP servers to fill up or something? :)
