5 rules for productive conflict Rob Manning did everything in his power to screw up the Curiosity rover’s landing on Mars last night. Manning not only cut radio signals to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s control room, but also simulated a hole being poked in the rover’s fuel system and solar flares flying toward the spacecraft. Why would he do this? Because he is the chief engineer for the rover mission, and wanted his team to be able to handle any worst-case scenario. “Being a gremlin allows me to soul-search and look at all the things that I missed,” Manning told the Chicago Tribune in the days before last night’s landing. Manning’s mischief would certainly get a thumbs up from management expert Margaret Heffernan.

After working on it for a year I was 3800 lines of code into it and hit a milestone, at this time a few new topologies were being introduced to our network and I realized I was going to have to expand my script and rearrange almost all of it to handle the new topologies.
