Comments on: Doing whatever it takes http://rickschummer.com/blog2/2005/06/doing-whatever-it-takes/ Shedding some light on topics of software development, Visual FoxPro, saving our planet, paying it forward, and anything else I find important enough to share.

Thanks for your comment. I must be a glutton for punishment because I have dozens of stories just like this one to share.<br /><br />Fortunately, I have also had the pleasure of working with some excellent teams in the past as well. This is why I know the importance of the "doing whatever it takes" attitude. Never a thought of giving up hope on this or any project Craig. Thanks for your comment.

It brought up all the times this type of thing has happened to me. "Infinite Frustration" is the condition of a developer who is burning the candle at both ends, seems to be the only one on the team that understands communication/teamwork, and is forced to drag fifteen boat anchors along whenever rowing somewhere important (all the while listening to "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" from the anchors).<br /><br />Don't give up complete hope Rick, their are a few of us left that will do whatever it takes, however long it takes, whenever it's needed to get the job done. It's called integrity and dedication to one's chosen craft. Good for you! I got frustrated just reading about this.

Don’t give up complete hope Rick, their are a few of us left that will do whatever it takes, however long it takes, whenever it’s needed to get the job done. It’s called integrity and dedication to one’s chosen craft. Good for you!
