Is this a deep joke? Managers have such a high level view that they can’t see anything? 
Mike
Maybe, because the comic is inherantly two dimensional, the high level view is an infinitely thin horizontal line.
Oops. Technical difficulties. The strip should now be appearing correctly. : )
Ah yes, one of those moments where you just cant help but be a smarta** to the boss, pretty fun as long as the boss has a sense of humor.
Great cartoon.

What’s worse: The boss who wants the 3,048 meter view or the boss who likes reading your code?
OH! OHHH! I know this one! The boss who likes to read your code is far worse. Especially when he wants you to sit with him and explain what it does, line by (now, agonizing) line.
Uhmm.. so was it really technical difficulties? Cuz the comic still isn’t displaying… all these months later…
Bug Bash is a comic strip written and illustrated by Hans Bjordahl. Bug Bash is a comic strip about technology: managing technology, the business of technology. It's about project management and managing projects through the dull world of Rational Rose, use cases, and requirements. Functional requirements, user requirement, functional specifications, design specifications, call it what you want but it's still the bane of project managers. And when you're done with that, you can think about all the fun that comes with timelines, scheduling, estimates (PERT estimation anyone?) and resourcing until Gantt charts are coming out of your ears. Let's not forget the risk management in the software engineering life cycle. Maintaining the project is just as much fun, managing what was initially set out in requirements and trying to keep feature creep / scope creep in check with change management. If any of these words send nightmares to you, the project manager, then this site probably rings true with you. (Who Links Here?)
