Last year, 2nd year of Uni, we had to create an app that read from CSV file that contained info on the no of ppl in each class and things like grades and such and had to display graphs of all the info tht you could then export as a pdf.

This had to also be sone in a team. I, however, hate doing anything other than programming (no team leader, pm bullshit) so I tell them I want to be one of the programmers (basically split the roles, rather than each one doing a bit of everything like my professor wanted) and we did.

I program this bitch wverything works well, I am happy. Day of the presentation comes, one of the graphs is broken... FUCK. I then go past it and never discuss the error. We got a 70.

I swear to God it worked on my computer -.-

I also have to mention that our professor was the client and he had set an actual deadline until we can ask him questions. After the deadline I realized I didn't know what a variable in the csv file was for and when I went to ask him he said "You should've asked me this before. I can't tell you now". My team was not the only one that didn't know and he gave the exact answer to everybody else. Got the answer from another team. Turns out it was useless.

He was the worst client ever. Why tf would you put a deadline on when you can ask the client questions?! I should be able to fucking ask questions during production if you want the product as you want it >.<

    I don't want to scare you, but there are PM's out there that are even weirder and contraproductive than this. This is certainly not an exception.

    @Lukas I feel like no matter what job you have, there will always be at least 1 isiot in tour life that you'll have to deal with. Whether it is a client or coworker, you will have to deal with them. Wish this was a worning before being born. "Warning, being born means you might have to deal with idiots. If that's not happening, then you're the idiot. Exit out the vagina at your own risk."

    Someday you will look back and see all the value in that project. Such as the app working on your system but not during the presentation, asking the question... Better you learned it now than in 10 years. So congrats!
    Please post if I was right in 5-6 years. Good luck!
