APRIL 27, 2016 KOBATOCHANDAISUKI LEAVE A COMMENT
“A coder who only does the implementing according to the specifications given by advanced technicians.”
“You’ll know if you get in society.”
After finishing the conversation quickly, Sung Kyu sat down in front of the computer. And YongHo sat next to him.
“Hyung, I can just put it over Tomcat(a type of server), right?”
“Are you going to create the DB(database) too?”
“What’s the address and account for the DB?”
It wasn’t the first time they cooperated, so their rhythms matched. They were like two gears that meshed well.
“Yeah, let’s do it that way.”
‘Let’s look at the bug window.’
After getting the tasks sorted out, YongHo looked at the bug window. It was only at the starting phase but one or two bugs could be seen.
***
“Hyung, it’s going well, isn’t it?”
“Then I’ll test it on the scalaphone.”
Indroid app itself could be run on many different phones. So when they started working, they were specified a few target terminals. If no bugs happened on those few terminals, it didn’t matter whether other phones could run it or not. YongHo uploaded the program on the phone and ran it.
– Program ending due to unexpected error.
“What the hell? ANR(Application Not Responding)?”
“Yeah, it’s strange. On other phones it just works fine.”
OS version clash.
YongHo pretended to search the internet for a while and asked Sung Kyu as if he just remembered something.
“Really?”
“It really works… wow, it seems like I would have wasted a few hours again if not for you.”
“But how did you know without even looking at it?”
“Oh, you are really more capable now, Aren’t you?”
Even YongHo was surprised that it was actually fixed. At first he thought it was a coincidence. Second time, he lifted the doubt from his heart. The third time, He was starting to be assured. He got rid of the thought to visit the psychologist.
The Bug window.
He was surprised again at the function of the bug window.
Sung Kyu and YongHo were standing in an office in Gasan Digital Complex.
After pressing the bell, a female employee opened the door and greeted them.
“Oh, we are the programmers for the chatting app.:’
Sung Kyu got his part time work from an outsourcing website even though he could find work through his connections. As he was only a college student, he didn’t put a high bottom line for his pay, and perhaps because of that, he could find work easily. The work this time was from an outsourcing website as well. After entering, they could see an office around 20 Pyung(≈66m2) with around 5 people working.
Following the lady, they could see a man in his middle 40s sitting on a place surrounded by screen dividers. It was the president who requested the work this time.
“Oh, nice to meet you, the one next to you is……”
The president’s words were short. YongHo’s face stiffened. At Sung Kyu’s introduction of him, he bowed his head.
While they were conversing, the lady brought two chairs.
The president went into the main point as soon as they sat down.
After posing himself, he continued.”
“Error? Sir?”
The president handed his phone. Sung Kyu tried to run the chatting app that was installed in it.
It was ANR. The president raised his voice triumphantly.
“……”
The president tried to stealthily feign ignorance. If he really wanted it to work, he would have told them as soon as the error occurred. However, by leaving it until today, it was the same as saying that he didn’t want to pay the money.
“It errors, how can I give you the money? Don’t you think?”
Sung Kyu handed his phone to the president. But the president didn’t even receive it.
“……”
“You should have told us as soon as the error occurred. Then we could have fixed it and sent it to you again.”
Kang Sung Kyu bit his lower lip.
“Why? Are you perhaps thinking I’m doing this because I want to rip this small amount of money off you? That’s just nonsense.”
“Hyung, isn’t this the same error as last time?”
After checking, it was OS version clash again.
The fist that was grabbed by YongHo started loosening.
The product ID for president’s phone was the same as the scalaphone that caused the error. YongHo checked in the settings menu. The OS version was even older than the scalaphone.
“What?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? You are saying it works on some, and it won’t work on others?”
And with *bam* he put it on the table.
“Doesn’t support? What nonsense are you talking about?”
Sung Kyu pointed to a location on the contract. There, a list of phones in which the app should run in was written. Scalaphone was not listed.
The president snorted as if speechless. Sung Kyu was also getting tired of president’s stubbornness.
The president spoke with a kill-me-but-I-won’t-give-you-money expression. The program and the source was already in the company’s hands. The president had nothing to lose.
“If you don’t like it, then sue.”
Sung Kyu’s face started to turn red. YongHo, on the side, couldn’t hold back any more and stood up.
*bang*
