NYCPHP Meetup

[Andrew Wint]

All he did was to provide transparency, now we are discussing the  
issues. Kristina gave very valid points about the 'delivery of crappy  
code' and not being able to take action because they are in another  
country.

Another point is that this why we have standards of development  
practices, these standards shouldn't be compromised they can bend a  
bit but not break. Sundar needs to seek them out and adhere to them.

I know it may seem harsh but it may help Sundar down the line in his  
growth.  As well as protect a small struggling company, thinking they  
are saving money but  falling into a trap.

Ben did a good thing.
