No Documentation and Time

Today, during the discussion with our fellow developer from offshore noticed the following statement about documentation and time. Thought that it is time to share my feelings with world on this kind of statement(s). Most of us come across such statement from some one or the other, or most of us use these statements in some time or other


.. my feelings is that you guys are used to work with the well defined structure, document and think like that, we lack of that here, we just don't have time to do much of that. I use to work with <<xx>> tool, we used to make a lot of UML design doc, UseCases every thing, but here we don't .. no time for documentation ..


The above statement has 2 controversial concepts.

  1. Follow the Standards
  2. Have NoTime

My understanding towards this goes as mentioned below,


First - NO STANDARDS : Who creates these Standards .. aren't these created by individuals like us??? why people are used to relate them with companies ??? and blame on organisations ??? if there is a practice that is resulting and implemented in an organisation, the employees who is currently working with that company ignore them when they join new organisation and start blame the new organisation. Would like conclude on this topic is, STANDARDS doesn't belong to organisations, but to INDIVIDUALs


Second - HAVE NOTIME : A big laugh, recollect from some old book that, "TIME IS THERE WITH THOSE WHO PLAN". To justify the statement, Prime Minister / Chief Minister / You and ME / Every one 's time is totally planned in-advance with regular stuff like sleep / wakeup / bath / travel / eat / blah .. blah .., isn't it. But what happens if there a sudden requirement for these guys to attend. In case of CMs / PMs they will plan again to reschedule all their plans. Isn't it. But what about those who say,

  • ‘skipped our breakfast as we don’t have time in the morning..’
  • ‘skipped lunch due to heavy work load and no time to visit loo ..’
  • ‘skipped blah .. blah.. due to no time ..’

To me, "HAVE NO TIME" is really a statement with no meaning... GUYS !!!! Wakeup and start planning, then you have lot's of time


Anyhow, pl comment

Common mistakes by Interviewer

Now-a-days am conducting few interviews for our organization. While sitting in the other side of the table, I've visualized why most of the interviews fail with me. But when conducting these interviews, most of the candidates are attending with self confidence that they are suitable for the mentioned role and attend without preparation. When people do some real preparation, they tend to fail due to lack of awareness at the interviewer towards interviewing techniques. Having failed in many interviews, I've learned that the interviews fail because of the following... Reflection (or) Mirroring: The interviewer tends to see self within the candidate. The interviewer starts to compare self with the candidate and evaluate. This evaluation is totally personal. The yard stick for measuring the candidature is not generalized, but influenced.   Template (or) Checklist: The interviewer has a template of a questionnaire. The interviewer measures the candidate with respect to the list of st

Keep the system active, to avoid the auto lock

Most of the corporate offices will have a policy for screen locking. While working with a long running applications at background, like the automation scripts for testing the applications, it would be difficult to maintain the unlock state of the screen. Thus, we found a technique to keep the system active with a cheating technique. Below is the powershall scripts that keeps the system active ' I am clicking on NUMLOCK for every 5 seconds to keep the system awake Set objNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")'to get user name numOfHours=inputbox("Hi " & objNetwork.UserName & ", How many hours you want me to be awake? :->") 'time variable conatins the time in hours Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Creating an object for clicking keys from keyboard numOfMilliSecs=numOfHours*3600*1000 'converting hours to milli seconds While numOfMilliSecs>0 'runs until tym becomes zero WshShell.Send
