Buffy Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Especially when you have marketing wankers writing technical proposals, and making silly stupid promises that can't be kept, simply due to physical impossibilities. But try and tell that to a salesman, though... I am of the opinion that marketing managers suck.I am a former marketing manager, worse,I am a VP of marketing!I am also a programmer!I am well aware that that drives other programmers nuts because they can't pull the wool over my eyes on technical proposals or schedules! I am of the opinion that those who think that marketing managers suck have never met a real one! :P I like sales, but they often require new features, :lol:Buffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I am hating the writing of technical proposals. I am proposing that we hate technical writing. I am writing about the technical hatreds we propose. I am still at the office at 7PM -- hating the writing of technical proposals. I am wholin' a woolskin writ wit technical writer what wearily withers when wonton whippin' wisps without warriness.:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I [am] recommend[ing] Strunk & White's Elements of Style to any-and-all technical and/or expository writers. Eschew the passive form.:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrotex Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I [am] recommend[ing] Strunk & White's Elements of Style to any-and-all technical and/or expository writers. Eschew the passive form.:lol:I AM that the passive form is eschewed. You don't have to have dysfunctional marketing managers to make the life of a programmer (such as moi) miserable. All you have to have is a dysfunctional customer who doesn't know what they really need, and cannot write a decent Request For Proposal. "And this corner, we have... NASA!" :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I am chuckling.:lol: Proposal writer to NASA: "What do you mean here on page 5 by 'agglomerated synergetics'?" NASA: "Yes; absolutely! Please have your proposal for what we mean by noon Thursday next." :P :P :lol: :lol: :lol: :P :P :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
