 That's because, generally, you developers are f***ing hopeless and require your hands held every step of the f***ing way.Originally posted by insur View PostClientCo currently has a ratio of approximately 1 manager per 2.5 developers - wow!
 
 It's pretty time consuming for us managers to have to listen to developers cry/whine/blubber about your jobs being outsourced, how you can't get a woman to sleep with you (despite your perceived high income) and how the other contractor that came in before you "Isn't very good".
 
 Write some f***ing code, make sure it's half decent and hand it over to your manager to allow it to move out of fantasy land and into the rest of the end to end process (when it will doubtless come back to you to be re-written, cause it's crap).
 
 if you need any further assistance, please feel free to ask a manager When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply..... When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment
