NYCPHP Meetup

[Kristina Anderson]

The decision on what to build comes down from on high where some confab 
of management pinheads make decisions based on "wow this will make us 
rich if we hire some cheap labor to build it for us" and "my Uncle Frank 
told me PHP was the way to go while we were golfing last week".

The tech lead then assembles a team of inexperienced, cheap programmers 
(because management has decided the budget, too) who crank out a 
horrifying batch of really awful code that kind of looks like it might 
do what management requested be built, with the tech lead taking all the 
credit for anything good that might happen along the way, and blaming 
the programmers he personally likes the least for whatever bad things 
inevitably occur.

This poo poo stew then gets dumped into the lap of our hapless "QA 
Analyst" who is expected to work a miracle on par with parting the Red 
Sea by turning it into Tasty Texas Chili for distribution to the masses.
