Did you take the extension offered?

I said if one was offered I'd consider it.

How they wish to interpret that statement is their concern...

Hey managers, why not go and learn a trade instead of postulating on how skilled people should do their jobs?

Because the pay is awful.

hey testers - why not just test in line with the test plan instead of making it up as you go along...

Hahaha I'd be happy to deliver what's in a test plan as long as it absolves me of any responsibility afterwards

While you were in there did you make sure that all the hard coded IP addresses that got buried in code the were reset to point back at the Mumbai development servers despite the Environment manager having to spend the previous week finding them and changing them by hand to reflect the Test environment? Oh and dont forget the hardcoded passwords either

Nah, I removed them as it did not look like they were being used.

Hang on, I noticed a bug in some of the multi threading control code so I quickly hacked a fix in, it should not change anything else. Whilst I was there I refactored some of the older code too so it should work better.

Putting my Environments hat on, why has someone let Dev's access to Test Environments?

If I could get away with it I'd change the admin password here and only let people access to where I want them to meddle

Last time I owned an environment, that's exactly what I did. I wandered in on the monday spent the week watching the access logs then on friday morning wandered into the CTO's office for a quiet chat. Monday morning the Test and Pre prod envs were locked and now off limits to the Dev teams. with only code deployments allowed by the sysadmin teams and testing team.

Works really well after the shouting dies down...
