So you're on a tulip rate/salary I take it?

So you also think testers are a waste of space?

No don't. Just hand it to me and let me send an invoice for testing it.

I wrote it to spec. I tested it to spec. Just because the spec doesnt match the requirement is not my fault.
I will gladly fix the requirement, spec and code so that it actualy works, but it will cost you.

Code shouldn't be part of the build until it has passed all of the test cases. Only then does it get to the deploy and test phase.
