Hmmmmm... 1290 votes before my viewing, the second-highest is 'The job
is
error-free' - interesting to consider in light of 'the only bugs in code
are the ones you ain't found yet' - and head-and-shoulders above is 'The
client/boss etc (sic) is happy'.

I had a feeling you'd relate, Doc :-)

Seems like I'm not the only one who says that a well-functioning system,
by definition, is one which causes the person resposible for signing the
checks for it to smile. Maybe I should find a better circle with which
to
associated.

Not necessarily "better", but definitely like-minded it seems :-)


On visiting the site, I read the survey questions and then just
walked away shaking my head. No, I didn't respond as I think
the whole thing was rather silly.


Fair enough .

A tolerance for silliness is a definite prerequisite for hanging around CLC
:-)

It is very important not to take things too seriously.

It is only computer programming; not life and death... :-)

So, Bill, do you have no opinion about what matters most when getting a job
done?

Pete.
