Has anyone been in a situation where a sr dev, with 12 yrs of experience and paid more than you, can't fix something after trying for a week and now the boss comes to you and expects you (a lowly paid dev with only 5) to fix it in a day, now that it's super urgent?

That describes my day... FML... I have to do overtime tonight...

Feels nice to have some place to rant now though....

    The question is:
    Did you fix what the senior dev couldn't?

    @forkbomber I'm working on it but got further in a few hours than he did all week...

    My mistake was I assumed after I got him over the first bump I let him take over again and after an entire afternoon he comes back with the boss and says... You do it...

    Is the senior dev by any chance good palls with the boss?

    Well, as a Senior I can say we sometimes have procrastination also. It could be that Senior believes in you having bad days by his self...

    @yarwest no, the boss is new to the team
