A tangent off of that. 

A lot of developers think they know more than you do about what you want or how 
things should be done. Sometimes that's true. Sometimes it's not. Generally, 
they're not willing to yield when it's not.

Subject: [AFMUG] Modern software companies.... 

Ah, the fun of modern software and business technology…. 

One coder can create a platform, sell it as software-as-a-service and hire 500 
barely trained droids to sell and service it. It works great as long as you 
don’t want anything done that isn’t on the script the droids are drooling on 
while typing. 

Combine this with non-technical people who believe the aforementioned droids 
when they promise the world, and you have massive aggravation. 

It’s hard to figure out who to be mad at when this happens. There is so little 
knowledge these days about how the technology around us actually works that 
it’s hard to be mad at the people who just accept what the droids tell them. 
And the droids are just poorly trained wetware. 

I fear for the day we all starve because someone can’t figure out how to get 
the refrigerator door to open….
