Right - but this gets to my bigger issues with how software development is done these days (and why I’m exiting as fast as possible after a 20+ year career...)... in theory we’ve got advanced degrees, are well-compensated, have to know dozens of technologies from the front end to the database, work twelve hour days, work weekends and nights on call, build systems that generate millions of dollars in revenues that keep the company running... but some project manager thinks they need to take roll call daily because I might not be responsible for myself? Gimmea break!
