INTRODUCTIONS, PART ONE

…INTRODUCTIONS, Pt. 1

“How shall we begin?”

Let us see. Um, turns out this is not easy to do right.

Suppose you have two strangers. You want them to work together for a long time, even years, ceremoniously making great software.

One is The Bespoken Consultant. Proud of their shoes in every way.

Then we have the Computer Guru. Crafty, tenured.

How do we mix them well. What is important to say. Who is to say what, and in what order. How do we leave any politics out the door.

How do we focus together on the matter at hand.

This is not going to assist in the matter of focusing on the matter at hand. This is THE TWILIGHT ZONE. Hollywood made these acceptable films, nearly an infinite numbers of years ago. The are beautiful; in each one an inescapable horrible mystery is revealed. This is one of America’s crowning achievements in wasting time. You are welcome. Come again.

The Twilight Zone — To Serve Man

In this screenshot from To Serve Man, an Alien struggles to say Hello to Humans and vice versa. Captivating stuff. See for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOrnVJ23aLQ (note: the link goes to a youtube page, with the Twilight Zone)

Often, we end up eating a big infinite loop cereal. Many many bowls. For breakfast, for lunch, and for dinner. All the executed for the same wonderful price, whether useful or not. Let us aim for spending as much time as possible on effective cycles of work. Whereas, each person on a new team in an early meeting, may slowly arrive at their first memory of the project, it is this: they did not recall specifically signing up for this project.

Not at all supposed to be here, is the primary thought of most. One day the meeting simply arrived in their inboxes. Unexpectedly. The Inbox, bloody cheeky.

Light turbulence ensues, and we may have just begun: oops.

Install PTO!

Disappointment is hope in despair.

Unfortunately, this statement too, in and of itself is a unfortunately another dreaded disappointment: too long for a bumper sticker. The symbiotic nature of one disappointment creation point has been identified.

We have broken down an infinite loop and including the following steps:

1. Hope
2. Expectations
3. Surprises
4. Disappointments
5. Redemption

---

hope -> expectations -> surprises -> disappointments-> redemption ->

hope -> expectations -> surprises -> disappointments-> redemption ->

hope -> expectations -> surprises -> disappointments-> redemption ->

hope -> expectations -> surprises -> disappointments-> redemption ->

… ad infinitum.

Repeating towards infinity through the beating, crystal-oscillator heart of a Central Processing Unit. It is a clock. Spinning up further disappointment.

Tell the kids.

“Conscripts”

- by pritish.

Hello, SYSOP thank you for hosting the above soliloquy on the internet over https. This is the best.

SYSOP, you are pretty cool, too, a wise partner. IDK really though, I am just getting to know you (see article for my perspective), too: let us journey on in our mutually acknowledged excellence

@blogger Refrain from becoming too unpredictably evil, I suppose. Good luck with that.

First time caller, long time listener.

p.s. This area is under construction still. My friend, Monster, may make nice drawings to help with the visual pacing. Far too many words in this DRAFT.

CUT!
