It was a typical Monday morning in the office, and the IT department was in crisis mode. The server had crashed, the phones were ringing off the hook, and the coffee machine was on the fritz.
The IT department, a group of heroes known for their bravery and technical prowess, sprang into action. They battled the bugs, debugged the code, and saved the day.
Or so they thought.
In reality, they just rebooted the server, poked around in the logs, and muttered something about "it's not the code, it's the users." Ah, but that's a story for another time.
But wait, there's more! Read about the IT Department's Guide to Debugging, a comprehensive guide to all things debugging.
This is a story about the IT department's favorite hobby: making excuses.
It starts with a server crash, which is just the tip of the iceberg. The real issue is always something more sinister.
- The user's fault: They did it. (We're looking at you, user 345)
- The code is too complicated: We're talking 10,000 lines of spaghetti code here. It's a miracle it worked at all.
- The coffee machine was not properly calibrated: We're pretty sure that's it. The coffee machine is always the culprit.
And so, the IT department's favorite game begins: "What's the real reason?"
