Thanks, Obama. Good job unilaterally blaming it on the programmers.

... and I'd fix the issues in D.C. myself, but I'm not the executive officer of the country...

huh?
programmers are going to fix the problems, not project managers, not politicians, not anyone else, right?
Obama's saying he personally doesn't have the skills to get into the details of fixing things, not that programmers f***ed it up.

Your comment is based on the assumption that the failure is one of implementation, rather than management and design.
|
|
|
|
|
no, not really.
even design changes have to be implemented by programmers.
it's not like project managers can just will programs into existence.

How do you tell them that without being considered a nuisance and a bad teamplayer?
Politicians are always realistically manoeuvering for the next election. They are obsolete as fundamental problem-solvers.

Next time around, instead of debates, we should hold a televised coding challenge among all the candidates; speed, accuracy, and 'elegance' of the solution will all be scored by an impartial panel of professionals from rentacoder.com. 
The we'll download the voting machine code from SourceForge and let the chad fall where it may!

That he believes the failure is a coding failure. He didn't say, "If I could, I would personally take over managing the project" which would indicate it was a management problem.

that is something you made up. there's no evidence in the real world that he actually believes it. he didn't say it, and his words don't imply it.
if the project was a new dam, and it was behind schedule and he offered to "grab a shovel and start digging", would you assume he was blaming the guys with the shovels for the delay?

The problem with that site is that it hasn't hasn't worked well for people who live under huge rocks with no knowledge of what's happening in the world outside.

Typical manager excuse.

It's the US; it can't go five minutes without a witch hunt.
In a few weeks, some other arbitrary people-grouping will be blamed for all the world's ills, and devs will be off the hook (until it's their turn again)

Where can I start a petition for Whedon to drop it and get back to making Firefly?

I like SHIELD but Whedon should drop everything to start Firefly again.

Agents of SHIELD is waste of time, and the worse part is they have successfully managed to kill the charm of Agent Coulson. 
Firefly was a great series. Since it is not possible to bring it back, have you seen the Cowboy Bebop[^] manga series. Even Whedon says he has never seen the series (even that cool falling while suiting up of Ironman in The Avengers is from Appleseed[^]). Firefly looks inspired by that series.

Microsoft is offering Visual Studio 2013 for $99 to those who bought Visual Studio 2012 at retail. Except, when you go to the order page it states "One per order, one per customer". Does that mean my organization can only order one such upgrade? Anyone try to upgrade multiple copies in separate orders yet?
|
|

|
|
Thanks for alerting us to the $99 upgrade price. I'm glad they're giving us a break.
