      No, that's what makes marketing dept. happy. What makes a programmer happy is a user that knows exactly what he/she needed and able to explain it clearly.

      Oxfords English < Official CCC Players Dictionary Excuse me for my improper grammar and typos. It's because English is my primary language, not my first language. My first languages are C# and Java. VB, ASP, JS, PHP and SQL are my second language. Indonesian came as my third language. My fourth language? I'm still creating it, I'll let you know when it's done! :-D

                      Making progress makes me happy. But, you can only make progress if you experience a deep dissatisfaction with your current situation. So the concept of happiness is a paradox.

                                I will keep that in mind next time my personal friend Mr. Scope Creep shows up. He always knows exactly what he wants and can also explain it clearly. It only gets bigger with every visit.

                                And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
                                "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

                                And I smiled and was happy
                                And it came worse.

                                  It has nothing to do with the users. 0) Tools that actually work like they're supposed to. 1) Hardware that can support your needs. 2) An internet connection. 3) Local admin rights on their own box. 4) A reasonably complete set of functional requirements. 5) Being allowed a reasonable amount of creative freedom where the interface is concerned. 6) Being well insulated from sales nazis. 7) Having just ONE person to answer to, instead of having to deal with a plethora of middle managers and other idiots with their own political agendas. 8) Not being on-call to coddle idiot users who couldn't pour piss out if a boot even if the instructions were written on the heel. 9) A UPS that provides enough backup power to allow you to "finish a thought" before powering down their hardware. 10) Being paid what they're worth.

                                          It has nothing to do with the users. 0) Tools that actually work like they're supposed to. 1) Hardware that can support your needs. 2) An internet connection. 3) Local admin rights on their own box. 4) A reasonably complete set of functional requirements. 5) Being allowed a reasonable amount of creative freedom where the interface is concerned. 6) Being well insulated from sales nazis. 7) Having just ONE person to answer to, instead of having to deal with a plethora of middle managers and other idiots with their own political agendas. 8) Not being on-call to coddle idiot users who couldn't pour piss out if a boot even if the instructions were written on the heel. 9) A UPS that provides enough backup power to allow you to "finish a thought" before powering down their hardware. 10) Being paid what they're worth.
