I see what you did there.

Indeed, whose mistakes?

Written and verbal communication is key in any organization.

I've worked with developers who had their head so deep in code that they could barely string together a sentence when talking.

If the work planned approaches the time available, then it becomes harder to parse verbal requests and respond within the time grace period.
Else if not coffee yet you need goto away.

Honestly, sometimes our job is crazy as hell... If you lack a good sense of humor, you can't stand that Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

What I need in the team is someone who is not scared from a development environment. Someone who can use it with keyboard shortcuts and no mouse-traveller right-clicking a piece of code and choosing "copy".
Navigating with Ctrl+Cursor keys, switching tabs, closing tabs, formating code.. all that does not require a mouse.
At work I use a steelseries gaming keyboard with dozens of macros and snippets stored.
I want someone as crazy as me OMG | :OMG:

, who has the "geek++" factor WTF | :WTF:

He/she must have respect for what he is doing, take the responsibility and the most most most important thing is:
If something goes wrong, and the first question is "who has done this"? Then he/she is out.
The first question HAS TO BE "Ok, how and how fast can we repair it?"
When everything is up and running again, we have plenty time to find someone to point our finger at.
In a good working team, this is never necessary. We find what was wrong and go in a discussion (or some advices/training sessions) of how to avoid that in the future.
Finger-pointing-teams are nothing I want to work with (hard to call such groups even a "team" tbh).

Sometimes you gotta make some fresh work for the grave-diggers, having a coworker that will help you hide the evidence is golden.

There's a better chance that they'll be male ones rather than female ones.

Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.

Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

Exactly.

I actually laughed out loud at this one Laugh | :laugh:

Be careful what you wish for and all that, eh? Big Grin | :-D
