Nobody's pointed out the most obvious one:
Fireman Development (FD) - You are constantly in crisis mode and thus are only motivated to do something when someone sends you an email containing the words "CRITICAL". And yes, it has to be in all caps.
- gcheong 17y agoHmm I wonder if there is a "Backdraft Development" that occurs where someone purposely starts a fire so they can then come in and save the day.
- bmj 17y agoFD also has an effect on other projects. We just released not one, but two new device platforms for our software. There are other, interesting projects on the docket, but it's rare to get more than one day of interrupted work on them before getting another "ZOMG it's broken!" emails about the other projects.
