srichterso you sit with one of us and suck up as much as you can00:00
th1aWe wouldn't randomly assign you a bug to fix and sit you in the corner ;-)00:01
th1aPerhaps if you came with specific issues, you could sit with a developer and work through them together.00:02
tiredbonesth1a, I don't have specific issues, I'm try to figure out the big picture and hoe it fix together, how everthing is tided together.00:04
