    If IBs get out of their elitist attitude of "must have an IB background" then the quality of developers will improve. Banks do not accept or believe that there actually are good software developers working in other sectors where quality and resilience are the most important aspects of the job e.g. process, nuclear, petrochem, telemetry - all real-time systems where comparisons are easy to level to trading systems. The difference is that there is often a health and safety aspect in these other sectors where systems MUST work reliably (often 24/7).

    Some software developers do take pride and are obsessed with the quality of their output..obviously not the shower you've got in your team.

If the code is that poor then YOU as the dev team lead should be taking actions to rectify things in YOUR team. What it looks like is you want the title and salary of the dev team lead role but don't want the responsibility. You want a team which produces no errors because that means you have to work and do your job. You are a manager - manage! f***wit!
      No, I'll tell you what the problem is and i'm going to sort it out tomorrow. I've let this contractor have to much freedom. I'm going to have to have a word in the morning and sort it out.

                    Hmm so you're in a high pressure environment and things are not going well and you're cheesed off with the standard of work your contractors produce.
                    Which makes me wonder how you've got time to post on here, surely you'd be better off sorting out your 'boys' ?
                    I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

                      Not really, I'm just showing you up for the "BillyBullSh!t" merchant that you are.


                      Btw, full marks for owning up to the problem. It didn't take you long to start back-pedalling.
