RE: Handling developers, "the zone" and other myths
And in all of this "talk to the hand...", nobody ever thinks about *my* zone. Jeez, I've got 75% of the conceptual material to document a complex function in my head and all I need is the answer to one eensy teeny little question so I know whether to veer left or right at the fork... <sigh> I worked at one company in a bullpen atmosphere with the programmers. They *insisted* that we use an instant message client to ask questions rather than go to each other's desks. The first time I got up and walked over to a programmer's desk, I was severely chastised. So I started using instant messenger. Invariably, after we'd typed three sentences back and forth, the developer got up and came over to my desk, but it kept them happy, so WTF, y'know. Sometimes, life makes absolutely no sense at all. ;-) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Free copy of ARTS PDF Tools when you register for the PDF Conference by May 15.
