    I’m the first one until the supervisor pulls the “I’m smarter than you so know your place” routine, then I’m a solid second panel until the entire thing burns down.

    I’m the guy that goes “fuck, another exception to add to my logic” after the PM swore that “we’re only ever doing triangles”

      If my PM tells me we are only doing triangles, I go out of my way to make that part extensible to accept any shape. Never EVER trust a PM when they say “we are only going to support X” because they are only thinking about the MVP.

        I’ve been around long enough,I know. It is indeed good advice to make things extensible, within reason. I have written some over engineered things that ended up being a pain to maintain.

        My best advice is to learn the domain as much as possible, then you’ll be more aware of both the concepts involved and the potential pitfalls. In the OP comic, knowing that the machines are capable of making other shapes would have helped predict the problem even when management says “we’re a triangle shop”.

    First one, for sure. Reminds me of the sinking of the British M-class submarine M2. Guess they’re diving backwards, now.
