"There's no way you're getting out of here alive" is really hilarious.

[@steecheeful]

The thought of a supervisor saying that to someone made me crack tf up

[@hunngryento]

Never get in between a senior dev and his shipment of caterpillars.

[@jmen1333]

You can see the slight hesitation as he tries to think something up right there, then the power to hold back that smirk when he realizes what hes about to say

[@fahimzahir9587]

I like how he says “I had a huge part to play in windows ME” and then immediately follows it up with how terrible the consumers thought it was 😂

[@halloweenlv]

I just loved ME. Dunno why is there all that rage and hate around it - it basically had all the features of XP ahead of time.

[@dallascarney2986]

@@halloweenlv system restore didn't work pretty much any driver for any niche-market device wouldnt work, and the updates OEMs put out generally didn't work either (which, this was supposed to be the pro-grade/enterprise-focused Win OS at the time, sooo that's awkward) with certain configurations, you couldn't even get it to gracefully shut down

[@faithnumada8158]

You make me like the internet again.

[@stephendule7123]

He actually used STAR to answer this question.. this is some deep comedy 😂

[@axelperezmachado3500]

what's that?

[@DrunkSkeletor]

@@axelperezmachado3500 The STAR method is a technique of answering behavioral interview questions in a structured manner by describing a specific situation, task, action, and result of the situation you are discussing. STAR = Situation, Task, Action, Result

[@XaliberDeathlock]

I didn't know it was a method. Been using that to answer interviews, just thought it's a good illustration

[@Sakrosankt-Bierstube]

Isn't that just the... like... normal pattern to answer questions???

[@XaliberDeathlock]

@@Sakrosankt-Bierstube management 101... inventing names for the obvious

[@DeadalusX]

i swear that in my next interview if this question comes up i will repeat this answer word for word

[@lordadamson]

let us know how this goes. waiting for your update.

[@Lee-qj4hk]

*waits for link to video...*

[@zakariyeyusuf1064]

Waiting for the update too.

[@22burst2020ddsspec]

Stupid question gets stupid answer

[@uniquehedghog]

no balls

[@jamesrichie7844]

Got a new shipment of caterpillars comin' in. I gotta g get 'em.

[@lollob]

He was about to burst while saying that lol

[@bassam.2023]

@@lollob But he didn't. Such commitment!!

[@BluePhoenix986]

Software engineer here: I can confirm this is a typical way we deal with conflict resolution.

[@alexwork4829]

Its how we address issues on git at my job.

[@TheSpacecraftX]

That and "accept all incoming".

[@urbancohort4142]

yes i think weve all been there

[@gayxor]

i think everyone here is a software engineer

[@jameslangbein1471]

How on earth did you remain straight-faced through that entire monologue dude??!!!!! 😂😂😂

[@jcdenton9764]

The secret is 'multiple takes'.

[@cranknlesdesires]

Improve too!

[@bassam.2023]

@@jcdenton9764 This was all one take blasphemer!

[@coronnation8854]

Probably thinking of actual dev problems kept him centered. Which is the line between tears and laughter.

[@joeyf9826]

Because it was 100% true.

[@PhilippeCarphin]

The manner in which he delivers this great comedy material is great. "Caught a glimpse of operating systems that had not been and would never be"

[@driziiD]

this man said: "our avatars left our bodies to do combat on the astral plane" 😂

[@Frankx520]

Telling the truth

[@Spaaace]

"And it's something I seen him do before:" dying haha

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

"In that moment our avatars left our body" lol

[@shadoninja]

"...about 11/12 years ago now, um... I did have a conflict with a coworker" - That was a genius line. Had me laughing pretty hard haha.

[@dr.winner2516]

How's this line funny?

[@shadoninja]

@@dr.winner2516 because nobody in team jobs can go their entire career without a single conflict. His delivery was awesome too!

[@dr.winner2516]

@@shadoninja Oh lol

[@mulanszechuansauceisthemeaning]

I think anyone from HR will confirm that these kind of answers are very common on job interviews for senior positions.

[@piesho]

In my 25+ years of experience in this business I have never had a fight with Steve Ballmer. I envy this guy.

[@minivergur]

Please guys don't do this in here, go outside and take it to the astral plane

[@theredflagisgreen]

There's something magical about the white noise in the background. Not sure if it's on purpose or in the longterm plan but in this video it was magical.

[@novaria]

Give off that 60's office interview vibe.

[@GizmoMaltese]

I love how it's just "Steve"

[@vicca4671]

You're cometely unhinged for being able to deliver this story without cracking up, my hero

[@hulkhan8338]

"There's no way you're getting out of here alive!" Steve said kindly, attempting to gently stomp on Kurt with his 400 feet long avatar.

[@DerLolmann666]

I found this channel yesterday and I love every single video so far :D

[@FredySandoval_123]

Now I understand why Steve Ballmer kept saying "Developers, Developers, Developers..." He had a fight in the astral plane.

[@caesarcch3879]

I'm not a senior but if there is a conflict. I usually do a "git status" and resolve any issues. I guess it's just lack of experience.

[@dave6012]

I just do a “git reset -hard HEAD”. Nuke the site from orbit, you know?

[@caesarcch3879]

@@dave6012 ahh the classic, I see you are a man of culture!

[@recursor9469]

You are working too hard. Simply run "git stash" and then immediately forget about your stashed changes for the rest of history.

[@sk-sm9sh]

If I have conflict I just do git push -f

[@Alex-wo2jk]

I dont know how he kept a straight face during that whole thing. I saw him smiling a few times but I would have been laughing like crazy once he said astral plane and do battle.

[@SoldierOfTwilight]

This is just incredible.

[@FellTheSky]

This guy is better than Dwight from the office.

[@gonzo4007]

It is a void. It is a void

[@geoded]

i love this, timeless comedy. you could've made this 10 years ago and it'd be every bit as funny

[@leootp22]

"A new shipment of caterpillars" That's when you know that shit is about to hit the whole fan

[@ave220487]

We need more Senior engineer interviews

[@theyruinedyoutubeagain]

Incredible improv. Your channel is criminally underrated!

[@GregSaturn]

I've literally watched everyone video on here, subscribed and shared with every person I know. It is a void.

[@RickyC0626]

Lol that story, doctor strange, ant man, matrix references

[@DmitrySarkisyan]

Hey guys, you are the best comedy on this subject I have ever seen

[@kingenidjingeln]

You're channel is awesome, keep the videos flowing man we really enjoy them! :D

[@strikerkays11]

This might be my favorite monologue of all time

[@ebonilha]

omg, it have been times since I laughed out loud like this from a video. Truly a masterpiece

[@theguyman232323]

Appreciated the heroes of might and magic sounds

[@gleix_]

You guys are hilarious - keep 'em coming :]

[@Zintilyaspin]

I'm crying laughing right now

[@amoghskulkarni]

Krazam's outtakes are better than most channel's production scripts

[@AndricLibreSinn]

Excellent, thank you.

[@grindinglcmeow]

Please continue creating such great contents!!!!

[@liammckenna1479]

I shed tears! This was too good!

[@dapdizzy]

Man... this just made me click the Like button while he was speaking about this extra dimension where their battle with Steve happened. I love stuff like that! Awesome! BTW, I used to work in MS while Steve was still the President and I was concerned just bout every public speech he made, course...it seemed he didn’t really come back from this fight with you...alive. Some price of his mind was clearly missing.

[@isaacsgarage931]

How many takes did y'all have to do. I would have started laughing every other word! Great vid!

[@ijcurtis]

Bro you need to make more vids. Im telling all my friends about em

[@jamesobrien8527]

The look down at moustache when he says "shipment of caterpillars" lmao

[@twinscroll4085]

Still here. Is the funniest part about this admitting you were a dev on Windows ME? Jesus this is a masterpiece

[@richardgowan2230]

We need more like this !!!

[@_Zarya]

This is lit! Please keep doing!

[@InfernalLegion84]

Dunno how many times I've wached this already probably like 4 times, but every time it makes me laugh like a maniac🤣

[@transce]

omg this was the best part

[@magicjuand]

this doesn't actually sound like a peacefully resolved conflict

[@amateurwizard]

This is factually incorrect, he shattered into 1024x1024 pieces which is more than a million, marginally

[@IndustrialSocks]

Lol this channel needs more exposure this shit gooood

Can you clarify if this was caterpillars like the bugs or caterpillars like the forklifts? This man seems like he would be avid to collect either.
