Quoted for Truth

I think we've ALL been there (and not just programmers): "I try to write my commit messages and doc strings (= comments in #Python) like some developer will be reading them who has no idea what’s going on and is trying to figure things out from scratch.

Often, this turns out to be me."

OMG. Okay, now you are subjected to a conversation to a convo with my boss today:

Me: "Wait, you want to do final tech review on the conversion scripts before we run the tests?"

Boss: "WHAT, YOU WANT US JUST TO RELY ON THE TESTS?"

Me: "No, no, I mean, why not do the review after the tests have flushed more stuff out?"

Boss: *pause* "That's what I wanted to do. The PM demands we do it sooner."

Me: "Oh."
