comment |
Not Invented Here is a webcomic by Bill Barnes and illustrated by Jeff Zugalenote Formerly by Paul Southworth, who left at the end of 2011. It's about Desmond and Owen, respectively a developer and a program manager, working at a company. They deal with things like other developers trying to steal their ideas, other developers being condescending, and Owen's hilarious incompetence. |

Chekhov's Gun: Owen once acquired a worthless company through horrible investments. Later, Desmond's incredibly rare keyboard breaks. Guess what company made it? |

Becoming the Mask: "The Protocol" involves assuming the identity of a past programmer in order to better understand really old code and update it. This is one of the risks. |

Broken Pedestal: When Desmond meets Emerson Ali, one of the industry's best programmers, he's disappointed to find he's a buff Jerk Jock who gives him a humiliating nicknamenote Michelin Tan. |

I Can Explain: Desmond and Owen are caught in the middle of a wooded area, in a motor home, wearing hazard suits, surrounded by empty cough medicine containers. Fortunately, the guy who sees them believes Desmond when he explains they are not making drugs. |
