I'm guessing 'them' instead of 'him' answers the question. I don't think SE is young enough to be using them/they pronouns for people.Originally posted by ensignia View Post'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!

I do use them/they for people but in this instance the developer was given the pronoun "he" so there was no need.Originally posted by northernladuk View Post
And yes it was clearly the client who was stupid."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

sometimes you are genuinely just bringing something they need for a few days or weeks, to cover a gap in their knowledge, or maybe they just want a fresh set of eyes to look at an issue, or troubleshoot. sometime you are covering a peak in their work which they cannot cope with internally. sometimes its a longer term project that they want doing, but without a long term perm headcount. sometimes they simply cannot get anyone to take the job perm, and so it can be very long term as a contractor.
all are valid.
