I worked as a CAD guy for a cabinetry shop when I met ‘Stewie’ (still am, different place). Stewie was an old dog who started drafting when AutoCAD was in DOS, apparently wrote a lot of LISP routines and made lots of parametric blocks (blocks are a graphic you can copy paste that stretch or change based on options you pick).
Dude sure as hell wasn’t able to demonstrate any of that capability, nor did he listen when we told him not to use it. Dude would write a routine that didn’t work, then be shocked when after running it it broke the AutoCAD plug-in we use that has it’s own database cuz it doesn’t communicate it’s changes to that database.
So we’d get broken drawings from this dude we have no idea how to correct, using something he took two hours to write to do something that the system already could do in 10 minutes, which necessitated redoing all of his work from scratch cuz parts wouldn’t come out right. He’d then talk to you for TWO HOURS about his thought process writing it, what it should’ve done, how our plug-in was stupid, how it reminds him of his glory days, how he used to watch hockey in 1982, how he misses hockey, how did you know I saw the clearest ice ever at a hotel bar like two months ago?? How do they make the ice?? The government is putting flouride in the water, which is bad for you, just like lectins in tomatoes - they break holes in your gut lining and cause diabetes
The most miserable, self-absorbed, unempathetic, conspiracy-minded son of a bitch. I thank God I will never see stewie again
Yeah, those kinds of people are horrible to work with. I know you figured out how to make this work thirty years ago, but they built it into the program twenty years ago.
