Did I mention they were terribly racist? They got a guy in to do the front end. He was Asian. My boss says 'he's not like other asians, he's assimilating. He goes pig shooting'
I said 'F***, I've never gone pig shooting, have I assimilated'?

I haven't shot pig either! Dayum!

Despite obvious expectation (when you hear me talking), I was born there (in Bondi, Sydney) before 1986, I am a citizen!

I was born in Box Hill. Doesn't matter apparently. No pigs, no stay

Quote: My boss says 'he's not like other asians, he's assimilating. He goes pig shooting' Looks soooo American boss (looks like the former American Boss ).
Quote: I said 'F***, I've never gone pig shooting, have I assimilated'? Neither I. I'm probably the one adult male who doens't enjoy pig shooting in the small rural village where is my vacation house.

I'm in Australia - no guns. It was quite surprising to be driving through rural Italy to see a guy walking through the field with a shotgun over his shoulder. EU has a most sensible attitude toward firearms AFAICT.

Hunters are allowed, here (and some of them hunt even when not allowed).

Yeah we stayed with a family in Barcelonnette, they served up wild boar, shot by the father, bloody delicious.

"They had no planning they just coded madly. I tried to impliment agile"
Is that not the same thing? :P

A lot of companies do agile badly, or do bullshit and call it agile, but, no

How is it like living in Melbourne? I had plans to emigrate and have an application in SkillSelect, but the invites slowed down a lot due to Covid. At this rate it doesn't look like I'll get one. It seems like work is plentiful, but not easy to get unless you're actually there.

I had a cousin in Melbourne. She and her family didn't like the cold, wind, and rain. So they moved to Darwin, where everything grows mould.
As far as Oz goes, I've only spent a few weeks touring around Perth and down to the coast from there, and it's definitely an area I'd consider moving to. But it's not that easy when you're retired. Dairy farms only want young milk cows.

Melbourne is awesome. I am back in Hobart, my work lets me work from home. But I do visit Melbourne often and I love it there

Mine was a contract for one year to back up a team that had been diverted to a major recall and the coding required to handle it. They had me doing the writing of test suites for code written the previous year in order to get it to pass FDA (Food and Drug Administration US) requirements. FOr a year, I browsed the internet asking for odd jobs whenever I was noticed.
Writing the documentation took maybe a few weeks and the odd jobs I did get accounted for another two. I had no IDE or technical tools to keep up skills and no fraternization to lighten the days, so I followed every story of the Japanese tsunami for a year.

Agile, like virginity, is its' own punishment. I'm on their side on that one.

See, I've been in terrible 'agile' projects, but a well run agile project is a great place to be

My very first professional job.
The team was really nice and I enjoyed the time with them, really.
But the CEO fooled me with the money, underloaded me and underestimated my skills...
I stayed a bit more than a year, then I left and never looked back.
Luckily for me.
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
