I was watching an internal training video on proper handling of expense reports. The narrator says, “This is a small expense report, and everything looks good.”
But everything does not look good. The expense report says Meals: USD $14, but the receipt is for a $153 flat-screen monitor.
Was this a test? I’m not sure.
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.
