| 00:00 - 00:05 | So senior management came to us, saying "Hey folks!" |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | "It's time to innovate the future" |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | We were all sitting there like what the fuck? |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | "We're locking you in a room to brainstorm, and the team with the best idea gets iPads" |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | Best one? Let's remove iSDoc and make it online only |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | I swear! |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | No really! |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | Let's just make a webpage with everything on it in one place |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | No really! |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | There's a guy in the IT team who's brother made a Whatsapp group, so we'll just get him to help |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | We'll ask you all to figure out how to move |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | all the shit from iSDoc to this new site |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | And still |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | And still do your regular job |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | People were working 12 hours a day |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | Without paid overtime |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | For iPads! |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | So we get started with it |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | And no-one knows what the hell to do |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | So we start copy pasting stuff from iSDoc onto the web pages, but the links were broken |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | We're hoping no-one misses anything |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | People were copy pasting everything, even the part numbers |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | Now 3 months later, management comes back with iPads |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | What the fuck have you guys done? Show us |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | This needs to go live in 2 weeks |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | So we start showing them the webpage |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | The demo's a total mess |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | You can't find anything! |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | The guy showing them couldn't find the instrument he wanted to show |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | Then he tried to search for it |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | 0 results |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | 0 results came up |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | So he tried again |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | But only found some o-rings and a cable |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | The management team liked it and gave us the iPads, and asked if it'll be ready in 2 weeks |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | "Yes!" |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | "Yes of course it will!" |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | So people started to panic because the deadline was too soon |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | We haven't figured out how to have menu's on the site yet |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | And all you get from searching is o-rings! |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | So what did you do? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | So the project lead was shitting himself, because he likes iPads |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | We promised to leave iSDoc functional for another year so we can keep the iPads |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | But we knew they were turning it off |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | And then it launched |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | We deleted iSDoc for most instruments overnight |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | And we're all still using the iPads. They're not even the Pro... |
