Glow-worm meltdown

If you write the code and it has a bug in it then its your fault. If I service a boiler and it breaks down due to wear and tear then its not might fault. It's quite binary don't you think?

Yes and No.

 

[lich]

so what boiler ?

New boiler will be a Vallient 637 I think .... Yippie

good choice

good choice

Hope it lasts at least another 11 years!

Yup. I am getting a new boiler and it's going to cost me almost 3 grand all told. Since I am not a plumber, that is hard to find .... 😉


But like I said - thanks to those people who posted sensible replies!

Not all plumbers are rich. Its a hard job and its a mith that plumbers in general earn £1.000's and £1,000's a year. I'm retired now thanks to my very sucessful wife who worked in the food manufacturing industry. My 19 year old son is a qualified NVQ level2 plumber working on self employed contracts for £60 a day. It's those in the banking industry who should have shame for their huge bonuses, whilst loosing my investment money.

Yes and No.

Or on and off (binary)

The oldies are the best .... 😉

 

[lich]

Err - I am not so sure Bankers are the evil ones any more - are we not now natoinally angry with the food processing industry and horsemeat .... ?

 

[lich]

Anyway - time to get of this forum and order a takeaway ......

Thnaks again all!

Thankfully wife was not not involved in the scummy side of food and drinks industry.

 

[Howsie]

Yes and No.

Just yes. If its your code that's at fault then it's down to you. If someone else has changed a web service or API then then that's outside of your control. Can you see where I'm going with this...

 

[Howsie]

Or on and off (binary)

The difference being? 😉

Points made? one thinks.

You guys!

Only vaguely - if you write decent code, and test it thoroughly, then it's behaviour will be largely invarient. If the webservices or API's it happens to talk to are equally well tested and adhere to thier contracts, then nothing will break.

In my particular line of work - if stuff like this breaks, people get fired.

Doesnt seem to apply elsewhere .....

Thats good. Hope all goes well with your new boiler.
