Different verse, same as the first
Aug. 5th, 2008 01:24 pmDear B, you raving [insert your choice of pejorative name for a piece of female anatomy],
I have proven to you time and again that I am a skilled programmer. I also know that if I submit a piece of code to you that is anything less than flawless, you will show me approximately the same level of patience and courtesy as that of a starving, rabid Chihuahua with a porterhouse steak.
Please assume, then, that after a few very painful lessons, that I would not willingly give you code that has not been tested within an inch of its life. Please also check the date on the code in question to ascertain that you’ve had it for over two months, and then quickly glance at the error message on the compile log to learn the field name that was the cause of the failure. It may be the exertion of a few minutes to check the table definition, what with attempting to type with your festering claws, but I will optimistically give you the benefit of the doubt (that, incidentally, you have never shown me) that it would not have taken you very long to realize that the field name was changed by someone else between my release of the code to you and today.
I would appreciate that, in the future, you would not automatically assume that such errors are my fault and drop the task on my desk with the sort of sneering condescension that you just displayed to me. I realize the futility of my request, as I have demonstrated my competence to you in similar situations countless times.
In short: fuck you, you oozing hosebeast.
Kisses!
