    well and truly. All I did yesterday was ask a junior colleague if there was any need for a hard coded string value in the call to the base("yadda") constructor from a derived class. SVN tells me who did it and when, so there's no use claiming it was someone else. Nice try though. All I need to know is does this hardcoded string have any significance to any functionality, because if it does I'll have to fix the bug that only produces files with a "yadda" prefix regardless of what you put in the textbox some other way. There's really no need to go all red, start crying and shout at me. She's not talking to me at all today.

    There's always at least 2 sides to a story, right? ;)

      I would persist if I were you. This is one of those cases where equality really does need to mean equality. If you'd ask the question of a male colleague, you should be able to ask it of a female colleague. It's not an offensive one - you are merely seeking clarification on functionality. I'd also have a word that shouting is not what you'd expect in a professional environment. The only thing I would say - have witnesses to the conversation.

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

            Not if he referred to her as the junior. No married man would be so stupid as to suggest that about his wife.

              Be a good "senior" colleague and do the teaching; do not simply chastise, explain the "why" it is an error and the "how" to fix it. ;)

              it was a simple closed question with only yes/no as possible options and I didn't chastise anyone. had I lost my rag with her I could understand her point but I have had more heated discussions with my toothbrush.

                  It looks really close to a japanese word 'yada' or 'iyada' ('嫌だ') with meaning close to 'i dont want to'

                    Could have been worse:

                    base("yolo")

                    ~RaGE();

                                      well and truly. All I did yesterday was ask a junior colleague if there was any need for a hard coded string value in the call to the base("yadda") constructor from a derived class. SVN tells me who did it and when, so there's no use claiming it was someone else. Nice try though. All I need to know is does this hardcoded string have any significance to any functionality, because if it does I'll have to fix the bug that only produces files with a "yadda" prefix regardless of what you put in the textbox some other way. There's really no need to go all red, start crying and shout at me. She's not talking to me at all today.

                                      Ah, but our SVN started with who knows what, went to CVS, was converted from a monolithic project to one that was componentized. The senior guy that did the checkins for these steps is named as the "author", but vehemently denies being such for many of the files. In one case, the file went back so far, we have no idea who originally wrote it. Not that it matters, they're long gone. (Two companies ago, when I converted a CVS repository to something else, I made sure that unknown users were declared administrator precisely to avoid this.)
