I've tried very hard not to get the clap.

I had a grin on my face as I typed that, expecting a similar remark, and betting on who would be first to do so - glad I wasn't disappointed

Thank you! And congrats to you - it's been a while!
Turns out that's my eleventh MVP/MVE in a row ... where does the time go?
The only hassle is ... did you give Sean your address, because normally he hand delivers the certificates. Wearing a Mankini.
What the heck he will do this year doesn't bear thinking about.

I'm really glad he doesn't have my address.

In the following years, all us devs stopped adding those kind of comments, because they were redundant.
All code is HACKey. There is never time to do it right.

I'll tell you, that is true.
I recently moved from a job that had no software development structure to a job where there are comprehensive procedures in place for writing and testing code.
I am quite pleased with the new job because when code finally gets released, we are sure that it works.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Do you work for SpaceX? It seems to be they are the only company that manages to get the code right, certainly demonstrated by their successful launches and landings.

I guess I was lucky in my career. For the first 20 years I always had time to do it right. I then went to a startup (about a year before the dotcom crash) and things changed. The next place I worked at was pretty much a 'we need it yesterday' mentality (which I ignored).

I had a sign in my office that read
Why is there never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over?
|
|
|
|
|
Isn't that because "Doing it over is agile! We're an agile company!"
|
|
|
|
|
Sadly, I'm much older than agile. Even before agile, promises made by yes men had the same effect.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
