Maker's Monday

Trying out a new weekly thread idea.

This would be a thread for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers. We can coordinate weekly standup type meetings if their is interest.

@ArjinFerman, @Turniper, and myself all had some initial interest.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

Was her master's in project management?

No, but she is a project manager by trade.

I get what you (and @WhiningCoil) are driving at, but shit-talking someone's wife girlfriend from outside the range of their fists is pretty low.

I'm not shit talking, I'm genuinely confused.

Dude, it's legit confusing reading someone talking about doing their wife's master's final project for them. Like, I didn't even know schools allowed that. Do they allow that? It's like reading about someone just casually mentioning they took $100,000 out of their company's bank account, so brazenly and matter of factly you wonder if they are actually allowed to do that somehow? Like, you're pretty sure that's just embezzling, but they sure don't act like they are emblezzling.

So it goes with this casual matter of fact admission of academic fraud.

I didn't do it for her. We wrote the interactive fiction part together, and I was responsible for all of the Twine implementation. In addition to the interactive fiction part, she wrote an entire thesis well over 150 pages long which I had no part in, not even proofreading.

I considered it paying it forward, as for my final project for my master's, me and my teammate received a great deal of assistance on the artwork from a friend who was not enrolled in the class, but volunteered to help anyway.

I think I'm more upset that a Twine game can get you a master's degree.

Anyway, the problem is that if she didn't do anything wrong that's an insta-punch-in-the-face, which would be bad enough IRL, but on the Interwebs where he has no recourse to that, it's even worse.

Also, you were a bit passive aggressive with the accusation.

I’m pretty sure whatever they did was, in fact, allowed. But then I might be reasoning backwards from assuming OP would not actually be proud of fraud.
