Funny, the last week or so I kept getting annoyed at some guy who keeps telling me that "it's not going to work" - that's basically his standard reply to anything. Usually it's about trivial things that will definitely work. I suspect that part of it may be that when I suggest a change, he'll analyse how that change would break things in the absence of any other changes, instead of figuring out how to actually integrate the change.
For example, change that variable name? Not gonna work, because the rest of the code is using the old variable name. D'Oh! | :doh:
He's also the kind of guy who doesn't replace placeholders in example code, and then complains that it doesn't work.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
