Yes, you’re correct, customer. The more likely answer is not that I am telling the truth, it is that I get off on being willfully obstinate and making up for problems. I’m out to get you.
The truth is I just enjoy wasting your time and my time. I don’t care about my metrics. It’s not tied to my bonus or anything. My one purpose in life is to slow you down and to spite you.
Why yes, I excitedly look forward to the time I can spend being spoken down to about my area of expertise, and would much rather engineer things to spend more of my time doing that instead of any of my other job duties, or browsing the internet.
Me: Unfortunately sir I am but a humble server mechanic. My expertise is with Apache, nginx and MySQL. If I sweat real hard I can kind of read PHP and HTML but the CSS is just beyond me. I unfortunately don’t understand what your complex javascript project is and in fact I’m not even sure why you’re trying to use JavaScript to do this. However, as this is beyond my expertise, I think you should consult with a professional developer.
Customer: but it runs just fine in my other environment
