Don't you hate to do administrative work?

Administrative work must be one of the worst punishments there is for a programmer. I'd rather refactor 10.000 lines of code than fill out another database request form - yes, a non-electronic paper form to get database space... amazing!

  • For me, 10.000 lines? It'd be a difficult choice... Maybe 2000 lines less, no problem! ;)

  • At my previous employer, not only was the database request paperwork bad, but they had 1 day to "assign" the work and then 3 days to actually do the work, depending on availability of course. Up to 4 days for something like adding 1 table. Yikes!

  • Lol, that is NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING, compared to where I am at the moment. Setting up a database may take up to 6 weeks... Changing a table or running a script normally takes 3-4 weeks :p Now (yesterday) they've changed the process so hopefully it will only take 2 weeks now to order a new database.

    Beat that!
