Reply to: Have you got a PDP...

I hear ya brother! Bloody permies. The best bit it is I dont put any comments in the code, so that when I've f****d off they're screwed. No amount of arsing about with fancy books is gonna help them then.

Give me a break - only permies actually give a toss about comments. Write code properly and anyone with half a brain (i.e. you and about 1% of your colleagues) can grasp the meaning. The other 99% are lost, with or without comments.

I'm a contractor, why would I have a Permie Development Plan ????

BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA...ye of little intellect! The contractor version of the PDP is your companies business plan.

I mean...you are a business arent you and you do have a plan for improving your business dont you?

No different to having a PDP as a permie...my god...you are JUST like a permie!

Now wheres me fiva!

Peow! Peow!

No I have a business plan which goes moe along the lines of this:


Create Plan B using contracting money to start it up to bring in another income stream.

Create Plan C using contracting money to start it up to bring in another income stream.

Create Plan D using contracting money to start it up to bring in another income stream.

Create Plan E using contracting money to start it up to bring in another income stream.

etc.

I'm sure you have a CDP (contractor developer plan) that goes something like mine:

1. Maximise billing rate
2. See 1.

while me and one other guy keep on ignoring all the BS and get software out on time.

Has the Master got a PDP?

[bobhope]

Last time I did one as a permie many years ago, I just printed some jargon generator text.

McQ, what is the deliverable of this "project"?

[mcquiggd]

Permies eh......

Competency, Action Plans, Objectives, PDP's, FJP's

They take up fekin too much time, setting objectives, creating actions plans to achieve them and then justifying competency.....

Is it me or do they spend more time on these rather than doing real world work.

I have yet to see a justification for all the above. maybe set an action plan to myself to try and get my head around it all.

Wot a fekin liberty

Currently working 'Agile'... which means the company don't know what they want, and 50% of the department sits in one room with new books being delivered from Amazon everyday, they have no set deadlines so do what they want (i.e. arrange two hour meeting every now and then to discusss which 'process' to feck around with for a few weeks, who is the 'champion' of a particular aspect of their doomed project, talk incessantly about over complicated and fragile domain models that use inheritence all over the shop, hide database issues with NHibernate, while me and one other guy keep on ignoring all the BS and get software out on time.)

Every single day this 'team' has a delivery of the latest books from Amazon - and then a few days later we hear they have set an agenda for a new discussion about 'process'.

Never seem to write any effing code though.

PDP-11/23, PDP-11/53, PDP-11/73 with co-processor.

[BoredBloke]

They wanted to do one for me here and I'm not a permie - Told them where to go with thier PDP!!
