Just askin’.

Sure, it might not effortlessly map to in-person communication, but talent is talent.

(* Or at the very least, a southerner of some description. It’s all very much the same)

Communication is key. I agree with the comment, “Be Scott on paper, Be Lum in person.” People follow evangelists; Fanatical leaders that their truth is the right one.

It’s not about delays, it’s about documenting what you do. In one case, a useful feature sat on a list for 3 months after it was done, because the coder who had done it had not TOLD any designers that he had. (And by then was mostly redundant, since we’d spent a lot of time doing workrounds)

In many cases, the code is the heavy lifting. If you want to really be a part of those projects, you have to learn to understand what the programmers say. Also, it’s not like drawing a picture or writing a document. Sometimes, delays happen not because anyone is lazy or anyone was incompetent in estimates timescales but merely because this shit can be reeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy fucking hard. So hard it can make you hate your job or weep at the desk or work all night and still not solve it.

And that doesn’t mean your firm needs to “upgrade” to “better” programmers – in game terms especially, it’s frequently because nobody ever did this before so there is literally nobody who’s “better”.

What it means is, everyone else better have something productive to do while this gets solved. And i think i can suggest a fine use for all those Gantt charts….

I love Lum, lum loved me, even when i said jenny Craig

BTW lum, i alwayes wanted to ask, wtf was up with the pic of neo anytime you made fun of me ?
