Do What You Say
A short rant here about something that really gets under my skin. It happened to me recently trying to get RTEncoder 2.0.0 out the door, and has even happened to me at work in the last week. It’s very simple …
Do what you say you are going to do.
Sure, something may come up that puts a crimp in your time, but then tell someone so they aren’t depending on you to come through for them. Just blowing people off causes a loss of respect, and certainly will keep them from being as reliant on you in the future. It’s just common courtesy. I guess I’m just an old fashioned southern boy, and just assumed too much. C’est la vie!
