Kirill: “Wait. Do we store the current currency rate when we allocate the resource, or do we store the price?”
Curt: “We store a ‘value’ or a ‘cost’ as a base currency when the action takes place at a given point in time; but a ‘price’ is a time independent number and currency that we don’t have to store in converted form. The question is whether you’re storing a price or a value.”
Kirill: “That’s right… So…. this, but…..”
Curt: “Oh… Yeah. F___K… that means”.
Kirill: “F____KKKKK!!!!”
Curt: “There is a reason very few companies do this you know.”
Kirill: “Yeah. Because it’s so F___KING HARD!!!”
(laughter)
Of course Kirill actually remembers all the business rules in the entire application and how to apply them. He wrote the workflow and state engines. He wrote the multi-currency system. And the multi-dimensional organizational system. Now he’s working on the entity types (different types of ‘tasks’ and how to calculate their current and forecast values.)
So. When he says “F___K” that means something is actually pretty damned hard. lol
Kirill Latish . Love you man. lol :’)
