John, who was your model for the programmer? She has a nice rack.
It’s funny cause I’m “rendering” right now.
“It’s”, not “Its”
“I’m in a WebEx”
“I’m in a Scrum”
“I’m waiting for Mr. Critical Path to finish”
Fantastically, being a consultant web programmer I can choose three of the six options at random…. which I guess makes a forth. “Choosing my excuse”.
I do intellectual work… 🙂
Mind you, we sysadmins don’t have a neckbea- oh wait, I do..
Here’s my favorite one: “I’m checking the specs…”
Laugh at me but this got me out of a lot of shit.
The were either no specs or they were wrong, not properly updated or somehow screwed up.
“Its, its, its, its, its, its”
ARGH! Same error over and over again.
Need the DBA, “its rebuilding”
Windows users and Ubuntu users – Its Patching.
Ordinary User: My password doesn’t work anymore !!!

Agile Developer: the tests are running
XKCD ripoff.
Average user: I’m waiting for Windows update to finish.
I liked this comic more the first time I saw it on xkcd.
I agree with you, thic comic was very funny expecially if you are one of those people who is working with computers 🙂
Hahaha … Good one !!

Italian Software Developer –> Computer SLOW!!!
System builds: “The packaged app loader only runs one at a time.”
Programmer:

Web Developer on Visual Studio:
It’s searching for a string in the “current Project”
