Off to find my hotel now

FWIW - sounds like ONE developer sounded very threatened by having someone around who knew what they were on about.

Apparently his main concern was that he'd have to spend his time helping me

Stupid git

That doesn't sound good

Epic fail

[BrilloPad]

Oh FFS

Didn't get the gig. And why?

Because one - ONE - developer on the team was worried that I might have done a lot of work with PHP frameworks in the past, and therefore not be able to cope with the fact that they aren't using one.

(FACT: I have used a PHP framework with precisely one client. Otherwise, I've avoided them like the plague.)

Everybody else, up to and including the program manager, was massively keen to take me on, but they operate some ridiculous system whereby all members of the team have a power of veto

The program manager is now planning to review this policy, but it seems to be too late for me

The pimp is also pretty annoyed - he's been trying to find the right person for this client for ages, and his attitude is that as I was far and away the best candidate by any criteria, it will simply be impossible to find anybody at all to satisfy them.

I am speechless! they are such numpties who just do not deserve you.

Just the one numpty actually - apparently the rest of the team spent half of Friday afternoon and half of today trying to persuade him to change his mind, but he was adamant

I wouldn't mind if he had a good reason for his opinion, but his sole objection is based on something that is totally untrue
