I have begun to keep track of my life as a series of YouTube videos — or more succinctly, weekly chunks of common YouTube threads that seem to hit work and spread like wildfire.<\/p>\n
The past two weeks were the CSI I’ll create a GUI interface using Visual Basic to see if I can track an IP address<\/em><\/a> weeks. In English, this is akin saying: I’ll build a car using a banana so I can go out and grab the mail.<\/em> My favourite comment in the string that follows is: “Hahaha, so stupid. Girls can’t make computer stuff.”<\/p>\n This week’s YouTube chunk is the Greg the Architect<\/em><\/a> themed thread. This is my whole life right now: SOA this and SOA that<\/a> so our client can become the SOA ROI VIP<\/a>. It’s nice to know that there are others out there who yearn to be dripping with ROI. (Key: Service Oriented Architecture \/ Return On Investment).<\/p>\n I wasn’t certain if another YouTube video would come in time for next week’s periodic water cooler soir\u00e9es until I stumbled upon this lovely little ditty<\/a>. I’m not entirely sure of how I got there, but when I saw the words: “All characters and events in this video are entirely fictional,” and the name “Matthew” associated with “Developer Abuse” my first thought was: no… it couldn’t be…<\/em><\/p>\n But alas, it was and I seemed to have stumbled upon video proof that our Matt is really just a serious guy and that behind all the bravado is a developer broken after years of abuse. Realistically, I think I gave myself a hernia in the midst of all the laughing over the paradox (Matt is one of our recruiters and happens to be a funny\/eclectic\/crazy to the extreme). It’s a clever clip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
