Software development is more than a career for me, it has been my hobby and passion in one form or another for the past 15 years. From development, testing and implementation, the ability of my team to reach our set goals in each of these phases is always paramount. Waving a dead chicken while standing on one foot (figuratively speaking of course) hoping your code compiles is one way to help your team, or you can just go the traditional route and do whatever it takes as a team member to ensure a project is completed...no poultry needed. In my roles as a team member or team leader, I have used humor as a means of effective communication and motivation. I do not believe my humor will get me a spot on Saturday Night Live, (SNL....it's IT we have to abbreviate), I do hope to write code that will one day control some of their comedy skits.
