William comes over and tells us of a problem he was looking at, but reckons it belongs to our team. Paul tells him that I am looking at it and have a potential fix. Paul explains how the fix works.
William then explains what the problem is. Paul tells him he knows what the problem is; we have a fix. William argues that it won’t work. I tell him I have a potential fix. William says it won’t work; he has witnessed the problem. I tell him I have a fix.
He still isn’t happy, he tells his colleague to demo it. He opens the menu, and is about to switch to the problematic application; but nothing shows in the menu.
William explains “Yeah, I broke it last night. Well, you can enter the URL, that will work”. His colleague corrects him and tells him that if the menu is broke, then the URL won’t work either.
William goes back to his PC, fixes it, comes back over. He shows the menu is now working, then exclaims “there! I have proved Paul’s theory is correct”.
No you haven’t, the behaviour is just back to what it was; with the bug we had just been talking about. With the bug that I have a potential fix for; but working on my machine only.
I’m beginning to think William has actually lost his mind. It’s very concerning.
