- hey boss, I got the driver working from the sample but the icon is a toaster

- can you fix it?

- not sure, I tried a whole day and couldn't figure it out...

- whatever, ship it!



This would never happen if they implemented toast-driven development.

The middle two lines never happen.


Can confirm, no manager listens to anything you say after you admit that its working. The most I'll ever admit to is being "just about ready for QC".


More like "Hey boss, we need to pay someone to make a keyboard icon!" "Hahaha, no. Work it out." and why worry about an icon when you have a perfectly good toaster as a placeholder?
