Know a lot of others have said it, but no production backups? Blame a junior dev for a mistake that almost 100% of the people I've worked with have made at some point or another (including me)? I feel horrible for the author, it's sickening the way he was treated. Now they'll just move on, hire another junior, never mention this, and guess what? The next guy will do the same thing and there probably still aren't any backups. Didn't learn anything, well, other than how easy it is to blame one person for everyone's failure.


Just got done with a 2-3 week binge of programming, taking time to regroup and refocus.

Just got done reorganizing all of my research in one note, loaded up on skydrive (impressive how far live has come since I last looked).

Ran across this device which I must own: http://www.wirelessgoodness.com/2011/02/04/noteslate-the-100...

Toying with the idea of dumping all of my research out of one note and into the interwebs, raw. Haven't decided one way or another yet.


Pick from the Top Ten Deadliest Animals: Dart Frog, Cape Buffalo, etc. Had a buddy who used names of Fender Guitars, boss wasn't as amused as us ;)
