HeY LeT Me ShArE My JeSuS

Interviewer: Do you go to church?

The fuck, man! This is a god damn interview for an enterprise-class J2EE job.  I know the guy's christian, so obviously I had to give some bullshit about how I'm now agnostic, but previously christian.

I thought getting a job was supposed to be trivial if my GPA was high and my work experience was solid.  God damn.  Now I know how it feels to be black.

You're feet are wet and you can see Cheop's Pyramid. Most likely you are in DeNile.

Suggest you open your mind to the possibility that you can be wrong or you will never attain enlightenment, weedhopper.

>>41
Most likely you are in DeNile.
I get it, because it's a joke!

Specifications are for a reason. At what point did some roman guy say `okay we should make all the roads this wide, that would be so rad'

You may have a civil eng. background but you've never worked in construction (a.k.a. Field Engineering) have you? You'd know that if it isn't in the spec or plans you make it up some shit on the spot, because it's 2:30 on a Friday afternoon, we're already fucked on the early completion bonus, the accountants are gonna bitch about the overtime hours and it's only an hour til BEER thirty. Fuck it, make a decision, if the shit falls down we'll worry about it on the clock come Monday morning.

To carry this back to the discussion at hand.
You seem to be of the opinion that rationality guides the decisions that go into making a spec (be it hardware or software): i.e. "It's round because it makes sense that way."

Having looked at enough specs to achieve a flash of enlightenment I realize that it is in fact human stupidity and greed that are much more powerful forces than rationality; every single time.

That is to say the manhole covers are round because someone thought it was a way to make more money off those juicy government contracts, not because they gave two shits about safety.

>>44
Wouldn't it be more expensive to make square manholes, since a round shape uses less material than square? I have a background in civil engineering, by the way.

>>45
That other guy (>>44 and others) said something about something else to do with that not being the case. I have absolutely no background or interest in civil engineering and yet have played a significant part in this thread.

This thread makes my anus hurt.

>>47
I'll make your anus hurt, if you catch my meaning.

There's a very real chance that, if the OP was hired, he would strap a bunch of parentheses to his chest, exclamation something about the Suss, and dive into the codebase.

Of course. But the reason why it is in the spec is important to know as well, especially if you're the one reviewing the plans and signing off on the construction.

To all you self-titled engineers, here's a shibboleth: what is the significant difference between the words "shall" and "will" in a contract specification?

>>55
engineers
contract specification
Enjoy you're non-binding contract.

>>56
oh no i am non-bindingsage
