Me: hey, guys, do we have version control system
They: no, what's this? We use 7zip instead.
Me: how about code review
They: as long as it look to work, we don't care.
Me: what about awesome Qt? Or not so awesome MFC? Or any library? Boost maybe?
They: We'd like to learn about OOP at some point, but it looks complicated [I'm not even making shit up, they actually told me that they don't know OOP]
They: We have bright idea! We will write some shit. Other programmer doesn't know C++, so he'll be using Delphi instead. You don't know delphiYeah, I'm not such faggot so you'll be using C++. We'll glue everything together via DLLs.
They: BTW, do you know anything about fox pro? [they show me ~400 LOC function]
Me: IHBT! I'm out of here, guys.
They also purchased Oracle E-Business Suite, but our IT department was not allowed to touch it with a light-year long pole.
