ID-10-T

One of my least favorite developers — oh, who am I kidding? — my least favorite developer and I got into it (again) today. Once again very publicly and over email. It went something like this (keep in mind, this is all 'reply all'ed).

Me: Hey all, x is broken. It's broken on both production and pre-production, and the latency on both is terrible. I'm not positive when that happened.

Him: It makes no sense to compare prod and pre-prod, since they're different machines.

Me: Yup. I know. I included both to highlight that it was across the board and not just one farm having problems. Thanks for re-emphasizing that they're separate, though.

Him: Oh, I thought you were saying they're the same, since you said 'I don't know how that happened.'

It went downhill from there, but rest assured that I got the better of him. Eventually our project manager came over and told me that the email was pretty important and needed to be noted. I said, "Which part? The part where he called me an idiot or the part where I told him that, thanks, but actually he is?" He just laughed. I guess he sees it too. Which is good, but obnoxious. I'm sick of having to defend myself publicly for this jerks defaming comments. You'd think he'd at least have the decency to reply directly to me rather than to everyone in general. <grrrrrrrrrr>
