Years ago in the Domino discussion forum a business partner was upset about some product behavior. He got pretty wound up and said that he would “hunt down” the developer responsible for the feature and “use a cheese grater” on him. (The original thread seems to be gone now but I found this reference to it).
The business partner wasn’t really going to attack anyone. He eventually calmed down and apologized. Nevertheless, I think we can all relate to this level of frustration. For example, while using a certain product, I often wished that I could directly share my frequent misery with its developers. This Microsoft TechEd video shows what it might be like to have developers “sharing your pain”. Very funny. (Via Volker)
