Be More Like Dave

Open source transcript

WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE DAVE?

DAVE WORKS FROM HOME ON NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS AND FINISHES HIS PROJECTS ON TIME.

YOU FINISH YOUR PROJECTS ON TIME TOO, BUT YOU DON'T WORK NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS.

THAT'S LIKE STEALING FROM THE COMPANY.

ARE YOU GOING TO PUNISH ME FOR DOING THE SAME AMOUNT OF WORK AS DAVE BUT IN HALF THE TIME?

AND HOW DO YOU KNOW DAVE WORKS AT NIGHT AND ON WEEKENDS? IS ANYONE WATCHING HIM?

HE SAYS HE DOES.

HE ALSO SAYS HE WRITES FLAWLESS CODE IN HIS DREAMS.

YOU SHOULD DO THAT TOO.

DO YOU WANT ME TO COPY HIS LIES, OR CAN I FREESTYLE?
