      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        LOL, as a tester that makes me suddenly remember whining about how crap the code is, and how the dev don't understand requirements properly - is actually a good thing. Or I'd be out of a job.

          Man, thought I was unlucky!

          Me the sole dev, 1 "team lead", useless ex-techie promoted out the way, 1 "architect" who sniffs around the edge of our integration points, 1 BA, 1 PM, the PM's "lead".

          Could be worse though!

            And they are all (with the possible exception of the BA) your bosses, and have the authority to tell you how to do things, and exactly how long it should take you to do them.

            And without you they would basically be managing thin air and producing thin air.

                I wouldn't say bosses, but certainly they all have an opinion. I haven't been forced a certain way with anything from a tech point of view.

                  [QUOTE=TestMangler;1579330]That's because, generally, you developers are f***ing hopeless and require your hands held every step of the f***ing way.

                  So who hired all those f... hopeless developers ?
                  If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.

                    But then they wouldn't have a job if the developers weren't f... hopeless.
