MODERATORS
Me:
Shows a demo function just to show how it could be done.
Manager: (looking in his manager book)
-"So it's already implemented!"
Me: no it needs to be programmed first
Manager: but it already is, i can see it on screen!
Me: it has to be implemented correctly.
Manager (looking in book again)
-"How much time if you implement quickly as quick as possible?"
Me: it will take X time.
Manager: Starts to call tech-lead and chief boot-licker to "convince" me it doesn't need that much time.
After 3 hours of painful meeting I say okay okay okay and pushes 'best I could do' to production in the same evening. Reinforcing the idea that I'm a lying bad programmer and that Manager, tech-lead and chief boot-licker are correct.
