Triple Threat
About
The Triple Threat is the collective that binds together Connor Sanders (not in computing team), Dom Hall (very actively not in computing team) and Rhys Milling (computing team). They may get a vast amount of sysadmin done but make no mistake they hate each other with a heavy passion, spanning from a fundamental disagreement of how computers are supposed to run.
Formation
This group originally began back when Dom was Rhys' loving assistant, carefully writing Rhys' strange sentences into coherence, and Connor was just some guy saying "how hard can emails be" to URY's computing team. After enough time with people moving about these 3 found themselves in each other's company at each computing meeting, and a certain dynamic appeared. First, Rhys would think of an idea, fail to express it and try to use words like "Pro Res", "Domain Joined" and "Open Source" to make it sound cool. Then, some say by instinct, Dom would immediately shut that idea down, on the basis that it makes no sense. In response, Connor would say "no Dom, it sounds good. I like it", but who can say why. Naturally, this caused the gentleman to reach a basis of argument, all fighting purely to oppose one or the other for principle sake.
On occasion, Connor might have chosen to agree with Dom, purely for the sake of scientific understanding, leading to a series of angry phone calls from Mr Milling. "Why are you writing spreadsheets for Dom? You're ruining my whole web ecosystem with your well designed, intuitive Excel design!" and so on and so on.
Examples of questionable ideas
- Rhys: "We should record all the cameras of all the streams for Roses 2021"
- Rhys: "I need a new subdomain for a file sharing site but 'files', 'filestore' and 'cloud' are all taken! I better use 'data'"
- Dom: "We should use a forum to replace Slack, Trello (god forbid) and all other communication systems"
