And the next company that comes along will ask for 3 days, and then 5 days, etc. Pretty soon we're back to serious bugs not getting fixed until the vendor feels like it. The power of a set timeline is the fact that its not up to the vendor when things happen. They have proven time and again that they won't fix things until they are forced to; this forces them.
It's just like being late for work. "But I was only 5 minutes late." Late is late.
- freehunter 12y agoThe last place I worked that cared if I was 5 minutes late to work was Wal-Mart when I was a teenager.
- acqq 12y agoIt's a kind of thinking of the bureaucrat and not of an engineer. I'm the later, and in my areas of work the tolerance of 10% is the default, the tolerance of 20% or 25% is also natural, and only something more than that is something that is even worth the words. As far as I know, some other engineering areas have even the safety factor of 2 or 3. That means, you expect the stress x, but your process has to sustain even 3 x. Edit: Zero tolerances are never a good idea. http://civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/research/k-12-education/school-discipline/opportunities-suspended-the-devastating-consequences-of-zero-tolerance-and-school-discipline-policies/ http://civilrightsproject.ucla.edu/research/k-12-education/s...
