Oh but your mom/grandma loved this scene. Hahahaha oh Gibbs so smart, just unplug the computer dummy dummies!
Reality: They’re both frantically typing on separate machines trying to figure put who is downloading their data, and are trying to lock the account they got access to.
Gibbs: Unplugs their computers
McGee: uh, what the hell boss, you know they’re in our servers, our infra, tearing through erasing data, why would you think that they’re hacking on our local workstations?! You do know you just killed our access, right? Now no one’s trying to stop them! Kindly leave the room, we’ll need to have a full escalation and postmortem, unfortunately now I’ll need to involve our entire chain of command.
Gibbs: [silent stare]
(translated: “what’s that? I can’t hear you over how my silver hair rewrites reality”)
Gibbs 6 seasons later: [stops ransomware by shoooting at the screen. In a datacenter.]
Please tell me he didn’t actually do that
oh my god… I honestly was hoping you were joking.
I hate computers We’re going to have to use the unix commandline
Blam blam blam clearly shooting the monitor, ignoring all of the cables obviously routing somewhere else. I try to suspend disbelief when I watch shows, but goddamn NCIS is just so blatent older mother dream sequence. OoooOOoo computers scary, he shot the hard drive, he saved the day!
Oooh you should watch the blackout episode, when there’s a blackout all over WDC and Gibbs pulls up all those manual machines from the 70’s.
Just as cringe, just the oooooother way around.
That they were better or something?
No no no, that it’s the other officers (Tony, Ziva, McGee especially) being awkward and clueless around a mimeograph or such stuff, whereas Gibbs actually looks and acts technologically competent (for the time).
OP has never heard of paired programming
I believe it’s called spooning: https://youtu.be/8wUOUmeulNs
You take the consonants, I’ll take the vowels.
Not my title
I’m just joshin’ ya. obviously this isn’t paired programming
How would I know I’ve never heard of it
Ah, it’s a practice that’s sometimes done in software engineering teams. One key point is that one person in the pair is at the keyboard and the other person is reviewing their work, providing suggestions. I’ve never tried it with two people at the keyboard… but it looks effective… 😏
I do it all the time mentoring.
I recall it was something of a challenge between writers of two tv shows to make the most ridiculous hacking/computing scene.
I might be wrong.
Edit: I don’t find anything online, so I must be wrong.
