Softwarism: (Ultimatism. ...)

 

Client has 2 cows and u need to milk them.

1 . First prepare a document when to milk them (Project kick off)

 

2 . Prepare a document how long you have to milk them (Project plan)

 

3 . Then prepare how to milk them (Design)

 

4 . Then prepare what other accessories are needed to milk them

(Framework)

 

5 . Then prepare a 2 dummy cows (sort of toy cows) and show to client

the way in which u will milk them (UI Mockups & POC)

 

6 . If client is not satisfied then re-do from step 2

 

7 You actually start milking them and find that there are few problem

with accessories. (Change framework)

 

8 . Re-do step 4

 

9 . At last milk them and send it to onsite. (Coding over)

 

10. Make sure that cow milks properly ( Testing)

 

11. Onsite reports that it is not milking there.

 

12. You break your head and find that onsite is trying to milk from

bulls

 

13. At last onsite milk them and send to client (Testing)

 

14. Client says the quality of milk is not good. (User Acceptance Test)

 

15. Offsite then slogs and improves the quality of milk

 

16. Now the client says that the quality is good but its milking at slow

rate (performance issue)

 

17. Again you slog and send it with good performance.

 

18. Client is happy???

 

By this time both the COWs aged and cant milk. (The software got old and

get ready for next release repeat from step 1) !!!!!

Why Bill Gates Sold off Microsoft....?


Do you know why Bill Gates SOLD=OFF Microsoft??????????????

Bill Gates decided to SOLD OFF Microsoft because of below letter from Banta Singh to Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft

Subject: Problems with my new computer

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

We have bought a computer for our home  and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice.

1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.

2. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. One of my friends clicked 'run' he ran up to Amritsar ! So, we request you to change that to 'sit', so that we can click that by  sitting.

3. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.

4. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this 'find' button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

5. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when you will provide that?

6. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'MY Computer': when you will provide the remaining items?

7. It is surprising that windows says 'MY Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

8. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only.

9. You provided  My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?

10. You provide 'My Network Places'.. For God sake please do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know wher I go after my office hours.

and last one qUESTION, Sir, how is that your surname is Gates but u are selling WINDOWS?

Regards,
Banta
