Heroism tends to wear out the hero..

Am rather exhausted now. The development for that product is at an end, and I'm worn out.

its bad enough that i had to teach basic computer science. Its worse that i had to do code reviews. Its horrible that I found the same mistakes inside, despite having told the wanna-be engineer about it.

then on looking inside, i found that the *word to do with going forth and multiplying* code does not work.

looking back, the project took 6 weeks, if i didn't have to teach him and wait for him, it would have taken 3 weeks. And I wouldn't have to suffer the pains of baby sitting, and the pains of teaching someone who is obviously not listening.

even though we were supposed to work together, a loose estimate of the work i did would be something like 95%. i.e. at least 95% of the code was written by me. gosh. no wonder i'm feeling tired.

I've been getting so stressed that I started to have dreams about my work. in one dream, i woke up feeling greatly relieved. I found a solution to my work problems! but as my mind recalled the solution, i started frowning.

what was the wonderful solution?


QUIT THE DAMNED JOB!
