This topic has nothing to do with audio, just a rant from work yesterday. We work off approved programming stories and over the last few months have been integrating some non-programmers who are quite knowledgeable of statistical evaluation. So they helped create a story and we are working on it. So they sent a group email (completely out of our bug testing protocol) saying they have attached changes to the story.
What? You changed the story?
So I set up a Zoom meeting to berate them and they told me they were bug testing and aren’t changing the story. Of course I replied you clearly stated the changed story was attached, to which they said they merely highlighted text in the story that wasn’t appearing in the interface, like a missing colon.
So it became a short lesson in language as I told them that the word “change” to a programmer means “change”, as in the story has changed. They actually did a good job highlighting very minor text errors that are hard to see, so I applaud them, but I told them to a) go through our bug testing software, not email and b) use the term “errors found”, not “we changed”
End of rant.
