But our clients use XML-RPC Touché. Client: But your design is in Latin, which I don't speak... Engineer: Yes, but Twitter is written in Latin... Client: You're fired. Client needs as an afterthought are why engineers are considered by most to be professionals, while programmers are considered fodder for outsourcing to low-wage countries.
