does skype for business have banner ads? if there's one thing that bugs me the most about normal-skype is those drat banner ads stealing my focus at random times

you can block those with a hosts file entry. why yes, i do enjoy janitoring my chat and videoconferencing client

the best way to help someone who's confused about release dates is to say NO. NO. NO. NO. while they try to explain what's confusing them, then contradict what you just said, then get huffy when they still don't understand

oh so you're scrum certified too

I think the overall average is lower for project managers than devs, but the ceiling may be higher

pms also tend to get poo poo on wayyy more than individual developers, often due to mgmt giving impossible or contradictory requirements and timeframes. I don't think it would make sense to go the pm direction unless you can't hack it as a developer or they're preemptively backing up a truckload of figgies
