You have agreed to do something, and you've spent every available moment working it out in your head, but you haven't been able to find the time to actually sit down and code/unbug it. This is annoying you, because you don't like failing in your responsibilities, and you feel guilty about it. Some a'hole who's got too much free time on his hands decides to cut you out altogether. Tell me how you feel. rvIceB wrote: Does anyone else think this is an issue with ego getting in the way of productivity? If you choose to interpret it that way, then others will indeed drop you in the "a'hole" pigeonhole -- and also drop the idea of working with you. rvIceB wrote: Or am I really just a jerk Not at all. rvIceB wrote: for making sure we follow our promises that were decided from the start? OK, Now you're being a jerk. I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
