You laugh, at my last job for certain stuff I had to program in windows 10 and word.
They didn't have source control so they did manual code reviews using the "track changes" feature in word.
The code reviews were pointless though as I was the only one who knew the language it was written in (g-code with proprietary additions by the system vendor)
Last year during the Christmas shutdown at work I actually made a crud application to track naughty vs nice children for santa, yes it was sql based(entity framework) with >90%test coverage (tests based off a in memory database) and with a winforms ui(what I had to use at work).
I might revisit and refactor it this year come to think of it.
Decades ago ago there was a series of videos of girls teaching calculus. For example they had a girl lay down on her back and then described how to use integrals to determine the area of her boobs.
If the excuse for not releasing the numbers is they can't be calculated in time... How can he know that? Even if he was the "genius" he claimed to be there is no way to say the numbers are good if they haven't been calculated...
Best response I got so far was in 2013 there was also a government shutdown also back in August Trump claimed the numbers in the job report were "lies".
As I said in another comment Trump sucks so much this is like #2574 of things to mock him for.
I worked in a heavily regulated industry. Everything required a manual test. Let's say you have an employee ID that is 10 digits long which they use to log in. You had to have some else (couldn't be the developer) to write a series of tests, get those tests approved by 5 people(with specific titles) then a third person to execute the test, then the second person had to write a report saying it all passed, then that report had to be approved by the same 5 people.
That typically wasn't the delay. The delay was to execute the tests we needed to stop production. That typically was a 6 week wait(unless urgent for "reasons") and changes like "I will drop scrap by 83%" was typically told wait till July 4th or Christmas breaks. Why? Because production would be down for 3-4 days typically. Someone had to start the system, ok no entry produces error, executor and developer have to sign a physical paper, restart the whole system, now an entry of 1 digit produces an error, sign the form, repeat for all digit quantities up to 9, repeat for all digit quantities up to the choosen value(based on severity if an issue occurred), 2 people sign for each one, system restarted between each. If you had say an enter button and a cancel button each had to be checked for each quantities of digits. Oh but wait what if someone just types there name... Now repeat everything for alphabet values... What if someone does combination, more tests, more restarts, more signing.
Reports easily surpassed 1000 pages, no one really had time to check all that so I saw so many missed signatures and missed tests. I asked the "senior validation expert" can I just automate a lot of these tests using unit tests and attach a computer generated report of all tests passing and the source code of the tests? " the response I got was" what's a unit test? "they still don't use any of them to my knowledge.
The problem with this plan if it is their plan... November didn't seem to improve to cancel it out.
If there was a huge drop in October that was mostly canceled out by November I could see the argument. Kinda like dropping your lost exam score in school. That said if you have repeated failures...
