The programming team that is working hard on your project is just one dude and he smells funny. The programming team you’ve met in your introductory meeting are just the two unpaid interns that will be fired or will quit within the next two months and don’t know what’s happening. We don’t do agile despite advertising it. Also your project being a priority means it’ll be slapped together from start to finish 24 hours prior to the deadline. Oh and there will be extra charges to fix anything that doesn’t work as it should.

Hah, is this contracting? And what is done vs agile?

[–] Whitebrow@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Think waterfall. But like. No design and no testing.

Not contracting, just another small shop that offers “complete” solutions from a to z kinda situation.

The only competent person in that org would be, oddly enough, the ceo. Everybody else just feel like they show up to be marked present on an attendance sheet in terms of being useful.

That's just "cowboy coding."
