the one with little talent and a massive ego.
Well, he came out with an all time classic the other day. We have a bug that's due to heavy CPU utilisation by some components that's causing resource starvation in another part of the system and leading to errors.
He says, "I am going to look at the system thread scheduler!" In a big and important voice.
You what? That's like 4 engineers discussing how to build a bridge, and one of them saying "I am going... to stop the rain!" (given that no rain = no river = no need for a bridge).
What a moron. Can you imagine the utter mess the system would have been in if he had even touched the scheduler?
|
|
|
|
|
Be fair, he did say he was going to look at it. He didn't say he was going to be able to do anything with it.
|
|
|
|
|
Imagine the mess he would have made.
|
|
|
|
|
That's way BSers work talk big, no balls.
|
|
|
|
|
Wouldn't stopping the rain work?
|
|
|
|
|
It would. It was also render the entire regions uninhabitable and thus also negate the need for a bridge.
However after the entire population moves to a neighbouring valley, where it is lush and verdant and crops grow, they would need another bridge.
|
|
|
|
|
Does he have privileges to change the scheduler?
Software Zen: delete this;
|
|
|
|
|
Its Linux, you can do what you want.
|
|
|
|
|
You should encourage him to change it. Give him a nice long piece of rope.
|
|
|
|
|
Oddly he has had so much rope he could have made a suspension bridge, but the execs don't seem to have realised how crap he is, despite the complaints coming from a number of people who have worked with him.
|
|
|
|
|
Sit on the side of the river and wait. Be sure to provide him as much rope as he needs and be collaborative and supportive. Noone will ever be able to tell you that it's your fault he's a dUck, or complain about your behaviour.
Let him dig his own grave...

He must be somebody's son-in-law or cousin twice removed. See if you can find out, and then sue them. Bah Humbug!

Wait a second...
...is this the same guy? Are his initials JH?
At one point, our resident genius changed production code and brought the system crashing down.
A VP took him to the side, "Don't ever put code in without going through process!"
Two weeks later, VP comes running through, "Where is JH!? I'm going to fire him."
What happened?
He deployed unchecked software to prod again, of course. And it crashed the entire system.
Alas, they did not fire him.
|
|
|
|
|
No, not JH. This guy cant even work git well enough to get code into prod.
|
|
|
|

Sod's law dictates that he'll piss about with it achieving nothing, but it will co-incidentally optimise itself and work perfectly.

Let me guess, s/he's Microsoft Certified or Java Certified or Certified? Am I right?
...Wait for it, in case you are certified.
The people who caused the most horrnedous problems at a place I worked years ago were MCPs who looked up the answers on the Internet, passed the certs and then walked around with their chests sticking out and billowing BS smoke all through the hallways.
"I'm rewriting the Windows Kernel."
"I've just replaced gravity with a new version. This one provides softer landings."

Actually, ex Microsoft employee.

So you have met him then?

Messing with the Linux scheduler is on a par with this.
He is an idiot. Really.

after almost a week of hard work and exploring a Google / code project a lot i am able to communicate between c# and objective c using bonjour sdk for c# and socket programming. now we are able to share file/data To/from c# and iphone on a same network. receiving first ping on c# from iPhone was like finding a new galaxy. feeling very happy right now. thanks code project i got some very useful article here for socket programming.

Hope an article on that would be in your priority list so that few like me can discover the galaxy without travelling that far?
|
|

|
|
Thanks , yeah sure planning to write my first article on that. will take some time but hope it will be used to others.

Know the feeling! typically a small part of a project that can be recycled. Good on you!
Try to do an article on it, I know I my first article on Comms I had done with some help from Griff and others does your rep good (and you feel valid!)
