And what I always find amusing is that it can take a week to create a useful and important feature, and 30 seconds or less to demonstrate it. There's no justice in that!

And as a second thought - that's why I hate code reviews. It really floors me how poorly people are at communicating what the code does for code they wrote!

I can't believe how much we agree on this stuff. I was just saying to someone the other day, "I love to code and talk about software design, etc. But the best way to make people's brains completely melt is to do a code review. Total boredom -- even for people interested in code."

Looking how MS develops software with indian "keypressers", I would say "f***" suits better! 
Also worth to hear "....of an all a cart", where "...of anal a cart" is another way MS works. ))))

When you've had a long weekend, you were still quite productive, you've finished a lot of work and chores, and you have nothing left that need doing.
I guess this is that "spare time" I've been reading about in fairy tales

Nope. You are obviously unprepared for spare time, so you are headed for boredom.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Ahh, it's hard to get bored with your brain in standby mode.

And as in fairy tales, the evil step-mother will cast a spell that will take away all your spare time and double your workload for the next week.
Back to work, Sanderella!!!

 What is this weird concept you have introduced?
"the debugger doesn't tell me anything because this code compiles just fine" - random QA comment
