    You're one of the people fixating on time done, instead of delivery. Right over your head...

      The problem is you say your way of working is right for every situation. When the noobs come on asking you tell them to go for it. Surely you know it's not right for all contracts, in fact very few. You also never explain what you do or ask what the poster does either which is a massive fail. We get it might work for you but you lose all credibility rolling the same thing out for every post on this topic. Advise on certain situations and it might sound more feasible. Saying everyone should be doing is just rubbish. It might be how we want to work but the market doesn't reflect that at all.

        I'll hold my hands up if what I'm saying is construed as simply saying "go for it" regardless of circumstances, ability, working practices etc, unless you like pain and egg on your face.

          I think that this has run its course.
