The SunCarolers are strolling through our Menlo Park, CA campus right
now. This is a Sun tradition of over 20 years’ standing in which about
twenty employees from all divisions and levels of seniority volunteer their
voices for a traditional Christmas music program. “Traditional” harmonies
include everything from the Mediaeval Latin “Gaudete” to the Silicon Valley
favorite “The 12 Bugs of Christmas” which starts off with “For the first bug
of Christmas, my manager said to me: See if they can do it again.” and
continues on…
- See if they can do it again
- Ask them how they did it
- Try to reproduce it
- Run with the debugger
- Ask for a dump
- Reinstall the software
- Say they need an upgrade
- Find a way around it
- Blame it on the hardware
- Change the documentation
- Say it’s not supported
- Tell them it’s a feature
