Long Weekends
I ought to post about ACen, but karaksindru's post more or less covers it. I'll probably post more when I have a free moment.
Speaking of free moments…
When I left work, I had resolved all the bugs in my queue for the 4.1.1 release, which was schedule for the Wednesday I left (5/14).
When I got back, I had a half a dozen MORE bugs in my queue, all of which were for that same release, which it seems was pushed back further. And today, I'm being told (well, I should say the entire dev team is being told) that if we cannot resolve the bugs by end of day today, we should expect to work over the weekend to resolve them for the release, now scheduled for next Tuesday.
I've two problems with this:
a) What the hell has everyone else been doing while I was gone? A few of these aren't even bugs, and anyone with a rudimentary ability to look at the code should be able to discern that.
b) Work weekends? No, sorry. I don't do that. End of discussion.
