"We need this project done by friday"

When:

Requirements changing on a daily basis.

No standards whatsoever, anywhere.

5 different people commiting changes with no code review.

Original team leader quit a month ago.

Current team leader doesn't know our own deadlines.

QA looking at layout through a microscope at every single possible resolution. (please move this 2 pixels to the left between 934px and 936px range)

QA being too vague some times (this looks weird some times)

Same thing being changed back and forth because no-one could agree on how exactly should it look.

PM implying at every chance that I did nothing and what little I did broke everything all the time.

    I have not experienced this kind of environment but I have experienced "the app is behaving weird"

    Me: can you recreate the weird behavior while I'm watching?

    @iakar hahahaha I've been refining this to an artform. Sometimes a bug gets reported just as I'm commiting the fix for it. So I just go over and make them reproduce the error. When they can't I give them a dissapointed look and shake my head. I tell them what happened after a while though. Don't want to demoralize the team :)
