I’ve been through many bad meetings at LXK, but my 3 o’clock yesterday ranks right up there as one of the worst. Ingredients
* Meeting shouldn’t have happened. It’s a meeting that should’ve been a whiteboarding session between me and one other guy.
* Six people, each with a slightly different agenda.
* No common manager, hence no one to make a decision if there’s a conflict.
Anyway, so it’s a meeting past my threshold of exhaustion (I suck at meetings after 3pm…it’s too late in the day and my brain is tapioca.).
So, it was a total trainwreck. I did get a nice quote of the day candidate:
“If [the widget] isn’t easy to configure after it’s built, then it’s a boat anchor”
Easily offended programmer: “DID YOU JUST CALL ME A BOAT ANCHOR?!!!”
