Don't give advice to a programmer unless you are their boss. Only give mild suggestions. Must programmers have already decided how they are going to do something and just want validation. I am sick an tired of hearing the "its too much work/time to do it right I just need to do it fast"

But I do have one question - at this point, to which of you does this appertain?

I got the "that will be a lot of work" statement from a junior dev just the other day. The response was not pretty, and yeah this guy think he knows everything and is highly resistive to learning.

The work is complicated by nature.
Being surprised by that nature of the work, or complaining about it, is just silly.
There is a reason why programmers earn more than a typical data entry person.

My car with its crumpled rear end gets picked up tomorrow to see if it is fixable.
Just had a phone call from a car hire company to sort out my courtesy car.
I told them I didn't have that on my policy.
He explained that since I am zero percent to blame and the other driver was properly insured I get a courtesy car as they will recover the costs from her.
So in the morning once my car has gone they're coming to pick me up to take me to the car.
Things have been going unexpectedly well since the accident. Not only did we get lucky with the warrantee on the patio door, but yesterday my wife's eleven year old car flew through its MOT.
The collision does seem to have realigned the universe quite nicely, now if only the pain would do one.

They'll find 1 kilo of Brazilian cocaine in your car while they're fixing it.
This time tomorrow night you'll be in a prison cell trying to convince your cellmates that a full body cavity search isn't necessary.
Glad I could help.

The car I had two cars ago had a strong smell of weed every time it rained. Never did work out why.
Mate of my brother's got caught crossing into France with a ton and a half of cannabis about ten years ago. He was unable to leave France for a couple of years after that.

Move to the UK and pay the license fee. A snip at only £145.50 per annum.

Or just seek a proxy (or vpn) provider from the UK

Good luck with that, BBC iPlayer had listed all the ones my friend could find in 3 hours.

No need for a license if you don't watch live tv(and if you don't have equipment that can pick up a tv signal)

like a PC or a smartphone with internet access? At least here we have to pay for radio and tv taxes if we got a pc or a smartphone as you can watch tv or listen to the radio over the internet...
btw £145.50 is pretty cheap.. I have to pay ca. £315.00 (462.40 CHF) per year...

Apparently not:
If you only watch catch-up services online, then you don’t need a licence. For example, you don’t need one to use BBC iPlayer, or ITV player, to catch up on programmes after they have been shown on TV.

Exactly
I have been through this every few years with the licensing authorities and I am perfectly within the law 
It also takes me out of the realm of chavdom by not having a 10foot flatscreen tv.

Interesting
However, And how do they judge if you're using the pc (or whatever else) to just watch "catch-up services"? Here they just bill you because you could use it not because you actually do use it. You can't really prove that you don't watch live tv or listen to live radio on the internet, therefore you pay.
Don't get me wrong. I'm in no way defending this decision. I rarely use tv or radio at all. Least of all to watch those channels which are getting the money from this tax. So I'm just shoving my money down their throats for nothing

You have to pay the UK TV licence fee even if you don't actually switch on the TV so that is the same kind of idea.
However, when I consider what I pay for cable over here in the US and get a 1,000 channels of crap with adverts every 5 minutes the licence fee for the BBC seem super cheap and totally worth it - I miss it terribly.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
