I mentioned to my boss today

 

Ben: "I am going through the LV 2016 release notes since I finally installed it."

He replied

 

Boss: "Just in time for 2017!"

 

I answered saying

 

Ben: "I view software the same way I look at driving. I want to be close enough to witness the accident, while not being involved myself."

Not a direct LabVIEW quote, but we've all been kicked by this fellow at least once:

 

"CSV is not a format. it is a donkey with a sharp stick taped to its forehead. the stick can be any length, and it's not always a donkey."

 

And sometimes the CSV file is not a CSV file, it is a "spreadsheet" file; separated not by commas but tabs (or any other punctuation) instead.

 

Hee Haw!

I had a run in with an associate where we poke fun at each other.  He asked how I was coding something to limit access.

 

Me: Binary

Other: <Odd Look> What do you mean?

Me: <Fist held in air, middle finger blinking up and down>

Other: <Laughter> Gotcha.

You should qualify that to be "If you give a man fish he will eat for a day. If you teach a man to correctly wire a LabVIEW Program he will eat for a lifetime."

 

If they don't learn correctly, they will get tangled up in their net and drown.  😉

Read this today - written by Rolfk (thread😞

 

Without a really thorough code review of your software by someone who is experienced, fiddling with such settings [compiler optimization] is like putting rocket fuel in a lawn mower and hoping to get your lawn done quicker that way.
