Unless you're perfectly polite. I too met the man (a number of times). Just think of his personality archetype as 'Baba Yaga', If you use all your well-learned politesse, you'll survive unharmed.

Absolutely. For years, I was the champion of having code reviews, and though I struggled to write legible code, the code I wrote was complete illegible crap. Finally, we got approval to have a code review process, and my code quality went up immensely because finally I had to show someone else. And they had to understand it. I think it's less that I was forced to have them look at my code, because I'm sure had I not pushed for code reviews, I could have gone for years longer without having them. But suddenly I had a target audience to aim for, and that target audience wasn't me five minutes before I got the idea for the update.

This is where Claire negotiates an appropriately yuuuuge signing bonus.

Greg Morrow

The most powerful organizing force is having to present your work to someone else.

Zak Reichle

It's nice to see Liz being protective of, and looking out for, other people so readily.

TubaGinger

One of your finest Robutts, Jeph.

Claire could get some pointers from Marten's Mom about projecting the Satanic Librarian vibe, but I guess that would be weird for Marten.

I for one welcome our new Bibliothecarian Overlord.
