I can feel it every day…
Those guys are right.
Big is bad, small is good.
I think in big teams, it’s not always that people don’t care, they might, but 1/2 the time that doesn’t mean they can do anything about it. (Ok, 90% of the time…)
Even if you want to do something, you might have to check with 20 people first. As opposed to 5, or 10.
Argh….. big teams, bad…

Moving from crappy ColdFusion developers who didn’t know what they were doing to crappy Java developers who don’t know what they are doing is about equal to saying:
Hey! Quit hitting me in the head with that rock, and start hitting me in the head with this brick instead.
My head really freakin’ hurts…

I found a packet of rice noodles in my desk drawer…
I think it’s old. Pretty old. Maybe a year old…
Should I eat it?

Web apps written by people who do not completely love what they are building suck big piles of stinking crap.
This is a theory, but I’m pretty sure it can be proven.
You need to care. Care about user-centered design, and usability, and standards, and testing, and documentation… without caring, you get a big pile of stinking crap.
In the end, you might get a paid, but your users will get a big pile of stinking crap
crap, crap, crap!

I thought the Infinite (Fruit) Loop bug was fun… Today I resolved a bug with the following:
This appears to be working now.
(It is unknown what change was made to fix this.)
Hey, as long as it’s resolved, who cares what happened!

I just wrote up what might be the greatest bug report of all time…

You have just entered an infinite loop.
Huzzah! More bugs!

Seriously, if I see one more web app developed where the ability to DELETE something has not been built into the first iteration, I’m gonna go nuts and kill someone.
I mean it!!!

If I am correct, WordPress.com will do the wrong thing, and product INVALID markup, due to the fact that I put a " quote ” in the title…
Let’s just see, shall we?
