28/09: Class Diagrams and what not..
Another meeting of DK's input on our Class Diagram. He has further expressed concerns I am not talking or asking questions. The standard answer of "I am just going with the flow so as to take this all in and not be too judgmental up front" is becoming very rote and may not work much longer.
I am unclear how to exactly explain the idea that I do have an idea how to do all of this - a fairly damn good one - but I have taken a back seat to BJ's existing experience using this process even though when I voice my opinions on a few things he shoots them down with the tone of "I know how DK wants this done". That belief he may or may not know how DK operates seems to prove more accurate about 70% of the time. The other times I go along with BJ because DK is highly irrational on what he wants or is asking for and it is plausible what BJ says is true even in the face of reality.
Take my new desire to smack BJ for not understanding Object Orientated programming. We have a bunch of small objects that sort of do the same thing. He lists them out. Mkay perhaps it is implied they are all of one type and inherit from that object. Nope.. DK calls us out on that. Thanks BJ. Additionally, what the hell BJ? You really though creating your object is going to blankly instantiate all your internal objects when they are not being used?
Ugh. I went with the flow on that one and blushed red like a fool when DK went into a fairly condescending explanation of how OO programing should work.
I think I might reactivate my more belligerent and overpower skills and start directing this bastard sample project in spite of BJ's alleged experience. Then again it might be too late to man handle this thing.
A follow up meeting DK was... touching. He was concerned about if we found his form of feedback appropriate and effective; not wanting to micromanage. I am pleased he is looking for ways to self improve, but alas I have seen that trap one too many times here. Disagree with the way things are, after being asked if they are effective, and you are put on the shit list.
I fully expect a one on one with him in the next few days for him to plumb the depths to see what's up with me. *giggle* I appreciate his concern about me.
