student hindering my education (rant)I have been out of school for a few years now, but I am well versed in dealing with people that don't have a clue what they are doing. College : I was with a guy that had to be mentally ill in some way, on a project that was basically a 3 tier website. He often would cry when he had trouble understanding things. Yes, cry!. I was faced with the task of getting a project done in a week with a guy that wasn't very much help. I could do it alone but I would be up nights and have zero time for testing or flashy stuff which is where I really learned the most. What I ended up doing was assign him a list of pages and have him build them as static pages with a css file and then I built the database and back end logic and gave him some help connecting them but always made sure he looked it up at least once before asking me. He ended up failing out after he had some sort of break down. The Great thing about learning to deal with dead weight : My first job after college was a programmer for a call center where I was the only one there that had any clue at all. Not a great place to learn, but the idiot that built the the foundation for there system with visual basic and MS Access was my boss. He had no education beyond high School and this was the only technical job he ever had. So having experience at being tactful and educational came in handy.
