Episode 5: The magic of simplicity

How do you deal with software that gives totally incomprehensible messages? Moreover, how do you react when the chief developer of the company making the software considers the messages to be perfectly normal? Zach is going to have a really, really bad day. [More]

Stick this on your client's forehead

This happens way too often. And you need to make it clear that the distance from "almost" to "exactly" is long and costly. VERY costly. [More]

Presentation Software: The Official Definition

I was once asked to provide an "official" definition (by 3TonsOfCode, of course) for Presentation Software, so here it is. Not one, but THREE different Official Definitions. Choose the most appropriate for your own personal drama and use it accordingly. [More]

Never, never do that

Except if you really like to live dangerously. [More]

Episode 4: Early in the morning

Zach has a talk with his boss, Mr. BigPromisey FatMoney and things go better than he could ever imagine. Isn't this strange? [More]

About

Three Tons Of Code is a blog with humorous fiction stories for software developers and people who work in IT in general. It has been noticed that some project managers will not like the blog's content so you'd better not stand next to them when they start throwing things at the computer screen.

See the "Webz" version for images and fun stuff from around the Internet: www.3tonsofcode.com/webz/

Psst! If you are a Project Manager (what are you doing here?) just give this a try. If you are a developer, though, give this to your Project Manager to play and enjoy weeks of undisturbed work :)
