You moron -- that's no way to develop applications. What are you, a first year Fortran student? The proper way to develop software is to have long, pointless meetings where techies can show off their intelligence, marketeers can display their ignorance and managers can "lead". Then, everybody pisses around reading Slashdot while a few firebrands argue over what kind of versioning system to use: "CVS!" "RCVS!" When half of the estimated time has past, the programmers start screaming about the Mythical Man-Month and how marketing is full of shit, while reconfiguring the Cisco switch to cut latency for Quake deathmatches. Marketing then begins to sell the product to customers, promising to have asked-for features implemented "at beta". Two weeks before due date, the programmers work 22 hour days cobbling an application from stolen code from previous jobs, algorithms designed in a drunken stupor, and (apparently) one programmer bashing his face into the keyboard. This fresh, steaming turd gets pushed out the door to tumultuous disdain. Programmers blame marketing, marketing blames management, and the customers get told that it's Microsoft's fault. So keep your wacky ideas to yourself, okay rookie?
