Yesterday we went back to the office to settle a couple of matters. It being Saturday, we were back late in the afternoon. Lo and behold, we had two colleagues there also working on some stuff. One was a new guy named SY who had just taken over a position that was handled by RA who had resigned and gone onto another company. I guess this was part of the handover process that I walked in on.
So during this handover, SY got to ask RA many questions - how does this link to that? where was the information stored etc. etc
RA gave all the information, but I think SY was hoping to take the easy route and not figure a lot for himself - maybe a case of SY wanted to be spoon-fed and get everything easy.
RA told him part of it and said that he would have to figure the rest of it. Then came the best part that got me laughing:
SY, girls I can introduce to you. Making the babies, you will have to figure!
So this is a lesson for the youngsters out there - you will have learnt something from school, you will also be taught some stuff, but in the end you will have to figure it for yourself too!!
Excellent advice from the old bird programmer to the young upstart programmer.
GO FIGURE!!
