Expensive contractors, take responsibility for your work!

[aussielong]

I do not own it, the client does. I will deliver what I am paid to deliver and it will work as was required.
If the client wants (and pays for) a code monkey then that is what I will deliver. If they wish to use my Software Engineering facility then they will pay for it.

do you think that attitude does anyone any good apart from you?

Well there you are then. Pressure translates to tight time lines which means quality control is missed.......... then people wonder why things dont work and ofcourse it takes longer to find the problems.

Unit test scripts, code reviews and quality control exist for a reason.

No, these things are for quality controlling junior-mid tier output.

I expect highly paid contractors to be taking responsibility for their stuff and setting an example - not taking the p1ss.

Get off your high-horse and back in your cage test-monkey!

Be grateful they even grace you with their superior presence!

...and this is exactly my point. What has happened? It used to be the case that contractors were the top flight developers? Not just people that had niche skills milking supply and demand. What has happened?

Clearly i've hit a raw nerve. You f*****g 9-to-5 ers. Disgraceful. You walk away with 600 quid a day and dont even show the younger ones how it should be done.
