Ah, I see.
Well, if he inherited a mess, then it most likely could take a day or two, at least, to sort things out. However, nothing to quit over.

From when you receive the project until when you run the project.
Should I just expect the bag of files I'm given to actually run right the first time?!

Either way, it's nothing to quit over -- unless, of course, you fed them a lot of bull during the hiring process.
I need more information before I can call you an idiot with conviction!

BOTH ARE TRUE. And I can be convicted with conviction of possessing the intellect of a converted convict.

Not quite sure what you mean... Open up Visual Studio (or Eclipse, or what-have-you), click 'File -> New project', if applicable choose the template of your choice, et voilá! Takes about 5 minutes on a slow computer. I guess that's not what kept you busy for an entire day (or I've got some bad news for you...).

Maybe he's talking about a C++ project in Visual Studio. All the libraries and linking and everything can become terribly difficult. I remember back from the days of VC++ 4,5,6 etc.
It can be a real wormhole you fall into, trying to get build order and all that.
It's far more difficult than the C# stuff. I'm saying this as a C# dev.

New project - 2-3 hours for silverlight/wpf but then we have been working with our framework for 4-5 years.
Taking over someone else's code can take forever, especially if the source is crap or you have limited knowledge of the tech used.
Quitting after 1 days effort is well... rather sad, unless you have recognised that you are incapable of doing the job.

Once my Eclipse IDE said some of jar files are corrupted , I was not able fix the problem after a day.
I then formatted the PC and reinstall all the stuff again, it took me 2 days to get the workspace working.
I hate those freaking classpath that are scattered throughout of my computer.

So, I got my MCSA to satisfy the requirements of the job, and I can see, create, delete, and edit stored procedures, but I can't execute do anything with them. I can even pull the SQL out of a stored procedure and run it in a query window, but I cannot execute/edit/etc the stored procedures - that I wrote.
I hate my job.

If it is any consolation I have also fallen foul of exactly the same situation.
Boss - "Our auditors say that developers should not be able to run the SPs in Production"
Me - "But this isn't Production!"
Boss - "But it is modelled on Production"
Me - "But I can edit them!"
Boss - "Well, it's your job to edit them, you just can't run them"
...
You can imagine the follow up conversation with the Test Manager
Fortunately the DBA saw the light and created a test id with execute rights. So, no personal responsibility as the test id is shared but the auditors are ok with that

Thhis isn't even an outward facing SQL server - it's solely for the use of the department in which I'm working.

I don't have the benefit of everyone sitting in a room together, or even that of an enlightened DBA. The security is "governed" by the Information Assurance nazis, and the DBA can only give access to the level they dictate. Even if he WAS enlightened, it wouldn't make a difference. I have to go through five layers of bureaucracy to get anything done around here.

Are we talking about a development environment?
How a developer can done the job if can't run the SPs?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I would like to see how you handle 1,450,000 lines of SQL code with notepad...

Yeah, I believe you.
My boss would make a f***-up on at least 1,499,998 of the 1,450,000 lines.

I assume that some lines are f***ed-up so badly that they count twice.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If there are more than one words in a line, there's scope for more than one f***-ups.
