    Technical or Management (or both)? Which are you?

    So which are you? Just wondering what makes up CUK.

      I've never understood the AndyW joke since I came so I didn't know if it applied or not. Perhaps now would be a good opportunity for someone to explain it and help me out here.

        I vote None of the above
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          I have been a manager but I got bored of people hassling me. You get it twice as bad if you are a technical manager.

          Strictly technical during the day but I am managing 3 people on plan b just now.

                I only lower myself to management if the money’s good enough.

                  Done both in the past.

                  Now I'm a BA so do neither

                    What does a tester do exactly?
                    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
