| waltman | Morning | 12:12 |

| MutantTurkey | blah | 15:50 |
| MutantTurkey | crappy documentation<<<<< | 15:50 |
| Pici | better or worse than no documentation? | 16:07 |
| MutantTurkey | worse | 16:08 |
| MutantTurkey | but bad docs usually means bad code | 16:08 |
| pleia2 | no it doesn't | 16:08 |
| Pici | Not necessarily, but the two do often go hand in hand. | 16:08 |
| pleia2 | a lot of really awesome programmers are useless at documenting and they don't always have teams with good documenters, they are very different skillsets | 16:09 |
| Pici | But then again there are a number of bad things well documented. | 16:09 |
| MutantTurkey | pleia2: with a library things are a bit different. | 16:09 |
| Pici | (I was just reading the PHP - Fractal of Bad Design article yesterday) | 16:09 |
| MutantTurkey | Pici: how was that? | 16:10 |
| MutantTurkey | Java is pretty well documented | 16:10 |
| MutantTurkey | wow! this remaster of Glenn Miller is really really impressive | 16:10 |
| Pici | MutantTurkey: It made be extremely happy that I have not spent any significant amount of time using or learning php. | 16:10 |
| MutantTurkey | yeah | 16:10 |
| pleia2 | MutantTurkey: I guess we've just had very different experiences | 16:10 |
| MutantTurkey | pleia2: I suppose so | 16:11 |
| MutantTurkey | I don't mean perfect documentation, i don't mean detailed documentation, but when documenation is competely non-existant or references stuff that only you would know if you worked on the project, it becomes a waste of time | 16:11 |
| Pici | "poorly documented" isn't always an easy thing to measure too. | 16:11 |
| MutantTurkey | I mean it is when they just don't even care about their code | 16:16 |
| MutantTurkey | hand you a hard drive and say "ok al lthe stuff is there so just work on it, btw i am moving to california and will sparsely answer emails" | 16:16 |
| jthan | If you guys can take the time to help me out with a research project that would be awesome. I created a 3 minute survey I am using to collect data. www.jonathandemasi.com | 21:00 |
| jthan | Pass it along, too, if you feel so inclined! | 21:01 |
| jthan | TIA | 21:01 |
| ChinnoDog | jthan: What are you doing with this data? | 21:20 |
| ChinnoDog | Historical records show that periods of global warming are followed by rapid drops in temperature. I wish that would happen so everyone would shut up about global warming | 21:22 |
| jthan | ChinnoDog: Basically seeing if there is a relationship between level of education/impact by natural disasters and one's subscription to the theory | 21:22 |
| ChinnoDog | Your poll doesn't ask about our subscription to the theory | 21:30 |
| ChinnoDog | It asks if we think global warming is a problem. | 21:31 |
| jthan | Truth. | 21:31 |
| jthan | My wording was bad ^ up there | 21:31 |
| jthan | We have limited resources/time so it's the best we can do. We are being graded moreso on our process/analysis than the actual topic and such | 21:31 |
| ChinnoDog | I think almost everyone agrees it is a problem, but not everyone agrees we are causing it. | 21:32 |
| jthan | Most people dont' think we're causing it. Silly bunch | 21:32 |
| IdleOne | I took the survey. I am a little insulted that Canada was not listed as a US State. | 23:02 |
| TheLordOfTime | lolwut? | 23:08 |
| IdleOne | I'm used to American students not having any clue that Canada is a separate country. | 23:16 |
| IdleOne | So I expect that it be listed as a state | 23:16 |
| IdleOne | jthan: appears to have actually paid attention in geography class. | 23:16 |
| jthan | IdleOne: lol. I left "other" in there for my european friends and you. | 23:51 |
