what is a bad solution and what is a good one?
is a bad solution that is quick to write and will be used once a bad solution?
is a good solution that takes a long time to write but again is only used once a good solution?
there is nearly always a better way of doing something but will require more skill/knowledge/time/resources etc. does this make every solution bad?
if something works then is it bad?
the problem with these sound bites is that if thought about they are complete bull
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

RIP James Shigeta.
No, I would not have known him either other than his role in Die Hard but he has been in rather a lot of things.

Didn't know the name, James Shigeta, knew the quote, couldn't put a face to it, looked him on Wiki had the "oh, Him!" moment. That I'm guessing you had!

If it plugs in (or has batteries, moving parts, maybe looks as though it might be in any way technologically related), it's IT's responsibility... didn't you know that?

If it is IT related, then can we fix a TV ?

To non-IT people, it's a box of magic... yes, we can fix a TV, install a car stereo, wire up the surround sound, suggest a good microwave, fix the photocopier, update a GPS, install stuff on a phone...

Yes, I know.
I am suggesting that the average person doesn't understand/care that we are software developers, and just expect us to be able to fix all those things, because "it's IT, right?"!!

Turn your sarcasm level to 11.

In other words we are able to read and follow instructions and we need to be able to learn quickly.
In my early IT career the acronyms RTM and RTFM were to be heard regularly, despite the fact that the person uttering those acronyms could quite easily have helped me.
This does seem to be what characterises the general skills required in IT, there's a member of my family who appears to be incapable of following instructions while I can - guess who has difficulty figuring things out on a computer despite having used computers daily for longer than I have?

You see, in this world, there are two kinds of people - those who understand sarcasm and those who don't. Smile |

You are correct. Fortunately after Laptops introduce some of them understand Monitor is not a Television.

Yes but now you get SMART TV's  , and we're back to "My TV doesn't want to work with the internet" (Causing using the word connect isn't in their vocabulary  )

Yes, But somehow we can do something with Software or Operating problems. Thing is If they submit a Hardware problem.
