A colleague of mine submitted some paperwork regarding the end-date of his college intern. The automated response combined HR buzzwords in an unfortunate way:
Subject: Intern Termination Report was executed
Just to be sure, my colleague stopped by his intern’s office. He’s still there. And still alive.
For now.
Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
