Back when I was doing lead coder and tech PM work, I'd see these ads online for contracts for projects that were just getting started. They were just getting started -- yet there was this ton of technical frameworks they just knew they needed. For the ones I knew, I went ahead and applied, of course. Even got a few of them. But it always amused me that they could be so sure of all the frameworks and tools -- and not have a clue as far as to what the code was going to do. This is just a nerd version of "we've formed a club and are looking for other cool kids to join" Fine enough, I guess. Sure were a lot of those projects that failed, though.
