[OT] Meeting at MS. Manager : Let's see these messages... oh dear, so many and so little time. [scrolls document] What does this one mean? Engineer : 'Could not find %s in %s in %s' for this context can mean that we cannot locate the function to call in library located in directory where we were looking for it. Manager : [oh dear so little time] but what does this mean ? Engineer : means we found library but it did not contain what we wanted or ... Manager : [ oh dear oh dear so little time] ok but why is that ? Engineer : [stressed] oh... possibly configuration problem ? Manager : oh. ok make it say so then. Gotta go. Make it less cryptic for laymen. Engineer : [facepalm]. [Some long long time way before that] [Somewhere else in foreign branch] Manager : so all translations done? Translator : yeah but this one I don't understand... Manager : we'll let engineers look at it, now close it we gotta ship...
