And why did the doctor cry?

Because he burnt up a sun just to say goodbye!
I rhymed with your question without even realizing it until after I posted

Program Manager: "Well, is it ready ... or not ?"
Project Manager: "I'd say it's ripe."
Program Manager: "What the hell does "ripe" mean: do we ship ... or not ?"
Project Manager: "Well, I'd say it's down to only 75% StackOverFlow, 10% CodeProject, 20% open-source, 20% out-sourced, and 5% original."
Program Manager: "That's 130% !"
Project Manager: "Yeah, we went the distance on this one."
Program Manager: "That 5% worries me though."
Project Manager: "I'll sign off on that."
Program Manager: "Okay, let's ship it as a release, then."

For a moment there I thought it was EA, but they never release over 90%

Well those missing % are released as separate dlc, announced before release date and sold within a week.

I've heard pretty similar conversations. it sounds a lot like the person responsible (senior dev, or dev manager) explaining themselves to their boss when nothing is getting done

Quite hilarious. Blows my mind that this was an actual conversation, just because I've never heard anything put that way before. I guess it speaks to how some products are created from a lot of existing code from various sources with a dash of internal 'magic' sprinkled over them (optimizations, integrations, and product-specific business logic).

More likely its from Incompetent Managers that don't know how to listen to the SW Developer and give them some realistic timeframes.

This is a product of Bill's imagination, written with ironic exaggeration as comedy, but, it is very loosely based on actual experiences Bill had ... long ago ... flavored with a garam masala of contemporary references
cheers, Bill

 Could you at least tell the market this vendor is in? Too much Harry Potter, not enough concern for your fellow man.

I'm surprised the manager could add those numbers in his/her head on the fly. Better than average manager.

Is it illegal where you are to kill your son?
It's Sunday night. The Boy (18) went out with friends to the city to get pissed and stay over a friends place.
The Daughter (15) is in bed.
So I plan on getting some rooting from the wife.
Now the Boy is on the way home and wants to get picked up from the train station. I'm on beer 9 (?) and once the wife finds out she's all ready to pick him up and I'm getting nothing.
As the only Mike Hunt in this household earning money I think they can all get faarrrkkkked and I'll spend whatever I earn on myself until the ATO (Tax faarrrkkkers come and get me). Haven't done the past 2 years tax as working for myself I have to put the money aside for tax. Unfortunately I live with f***wits who don't understand that every dollar in isn't mine to spend.

You really have to be desperate if you need 9 beers before..."getting some rooting from the wife"...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Root beer?

I guess calling your family f***wits must be some Australian thing...
Or a "I-drank-9-beers" thing...
Michael Martin wrote: Is it illegal where you are to kill your son?
Probably not, but I don't have a son so I'm not familiar with that kind of law.
What I DO know is that "because he wanted me to pick him up" isn't a good reason for aforementioned kill.
Every son or daughter calls at least once during his teens to pick him or her up (and with once I mean a gazillion times).
Think of something better, like "he's an evil mastermind keeping me from my root and so making humanity go extinct!".
It's just an idea, but I think you can work it out from there

I'd say it's an MM thing; but other than also including "I-drank-9-rums" things I'm not sure there's much of a difference. Or at least not when looking at what he posts here. OTOH MM's drunk posts are at least understandable, something that DD's rarely were.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
