Programmer Anarchy

[eek]

Did Smac do it?

nope someone else with complicity of little PM....

it may not be an issue (where may is a less than 0.000000001% chance) but it may be and it invalidates a lot of work (by others not me which is how come I'm only just aware).

Nokia Siemens Networks. Fantastic company, good competent process oriented people. Working with a complex on shore/offshore model. Granted the programme manager was a bit shouty (being an ex army type) but he ran a tight ship.

Now would sir care for garlic mayo or chilli sauce?

The telecoms industry needs to become more comfortable with failure if is to innovate, an executive head of Nokia Siemens Networks has said. Bosco Novak, chief of customer operations and executive board member at NSN told the audience on the second day of the Broadband World Forum that being allowed to fail will help foster a culture of innovation.

So they probably had failure built in and so the project was therefore successful, fail.

You're trying to wriggle out of it now aren't you?

Nah, they have yet to realise after 6 months I in fact do very little, that what I do do (snigger) I make sure there is a big song and dance at how under pressure I am making sure I am critical to the project when in fact like Homer Simpson I can be replaced by a bird pressing a keyboard

Nah, SY01 probably has a sticky-outy which means there's no fluff...

Flippin' heck!

I don't expect to hear much beyond the job ad.

"Yes we know what the, err, 'users' want because this is what we want to code. What? Did we talk to them? Are you mad?!? They'll just confuse matters. We tell them to RTFM. Who's going to write the manual? I neither know nor care..."

Back on track. If you have very good developers you could probably get them spending a year or two developing a product slowly doing less and less development and more and more support until they are snowed under with support and it all falls over.....
