Another Day In The Life Of A Software Developer

Manager: Did you get the email?


Developer: Which email?


Manager: From the Business Analyst.


Developer: Oh, I just received it. Did they find a bug?


Manager: No. It’s a new requirement.


Developer: For next week? 


Manager: No. They need it today.


Developer: I thought UAT was locked.


Manager: It is, but they said it’s important, and I told them that we could do it.


Developer. Okay...


Manager: It’s a simple change. You should be able to do it in fifteen minutes.


Developer: I have to analyze the requirement, determine which programs need to change, check out the code, make the modifications, run through the test plan, check in the changes, build a deployment package, and get it approved for release. I can’t do that in fifteen minutes.


Manager: Well, it has to be ready by 2 o’clock.


Developer: Alright, I’ll work through lunch. If I have any questions, I’ll check with the Business Analyst.


Manager: You’d better catch him soon. 


Developer: Why?


Manager: He’s going on the corporate golf outing.


Crickets: Cheep-cheep! Cheep-cheep!


Developer: I’ll figure it out.
